Brian Carr

November 4, 1959 - August 18, 2020

Brian Carr, 60, of Suwanee passed away on August 18, 2020 after a hard-fought battle with leukemia. He will be greatly missed by his wife Sheila and two daughters, Allison and Lauren. Brian was born in Warwick, Rhode Island on November 4, 1959. He graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a BS in Computer Engineering in 1982, and went on to graduate from Georgia Institute of Technology with a MS in Electrical Engineering in 1984. He worked as a hardware development manager at Arris (now Commscope) for over 20 years. In addition to his wife and daughters, Brian is survived by his mother Margaret and brother Paul Jr. He is preceded in death by his father Paul Sr and sister Martha. Brian was a devoted husband and father who loved nothing better than spending time with his family. To family, friends, and coworkers, he was known for his calm presence, unwavering support, optimistic attitude, and great advice. Brian had a kind heart and gentle nature. A memorial service for Brian will be deferred for a few months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be given to the cancer-fighting charity of your choice. We also wish to extend our sincerest thanks to all those who supported us during Brian’s last few months with kind words, offers to help, and donations of blood and/or platelets for Brian and other leukemia patients.
