Jason Alexander Carr went to Heaven to join the angels on July 28, 2011.
Born in Lakeport, Calif., on March 28, 2008, he was the beloved first born child of John “Ryan” Carr and Charmaine Plein.
His life, although cut so short, was a miracle, as he came into this world unable to breathe on his own. Jason was a joy to his family, with his huge smile that lit up rooms and warmed hearts wherever he went.
When his little brother John Lucas was born a year later, Jason had a built in playmate. His favorite things to do were take walks with Mom and Dad and play with his brother and best friend Dillon.
He also loved building block castles, playing with trucks in the gravel, getting up early to watch Spongebob, and being "bounced" by Ellis.
Beside him was his faithful, tolerant, doggy companion, Buck. Once he learned to jump, that was his mode of transportation. If you asked for a kiss he would just hop over and give you one!
When family came and went, he would wait patiently for them to return and greet them with a beautiful smile and hug. He'd point at the records and say "moosic" and he and Grandma would rock to song after song. His grandpa Jimmy would be there for him at a moment's notice. Jason knew his family loved and adored him and he will be missed and forever and ever and always in our hearts.
Jason is survived by his parents, Ryan and Charmaine; little brother, John "Lucas" Carr; grandparents, Melissa Plein, Cheryl Carr, James and Marla Plein; great grandmothers, Helen Tinney, and Joy Chamskas; uncles, Matthew Carr, Cody Plein and Jacob Humphrey; aunt, Marisa Plein; second cousins, Keith, Kevin, Nicole, Jessica, Emily and Ashley Tinney; little cousins, Dylan and Tyler and numerous other friends and family members.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, John Nolan Carr and his uncle, Joshua Plein.
A special thanks to our Round Table Pizza and Robinson Rancheria families.
A memorial to remember Jason will held on Wednesday, Aug. 17, at 1 p.m. at United Christian Parish, 745 N. Brush St., Lakeport, CA.
In lieu of flowers, if you would like to help with the final expenses an account has been set up at Mendo Lake Credit Union for these young parents.
