Obituary of Rodney Daniel Carr

Mr. Rodney Daniel Carr, a resident of Ozark, died Friday, December 5, 2025, in the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile. He was 52 years old. A memorial service for Mr. Carr will be held 11:00 A.M. Saturday, December 13, 2025 in the Chapel of Holman Funeral Home in Ozark with Reverend Terry Threats officiating, Holman Funeral Home of Ozark directing. Mr. Carr was born August 12, 1973, in Ozark, Alabama. He graduated from Carroll High School in 1991 and served two years in the Army National Guard. Rodney was a man who felt most at peace outdoors, especially anywhere near the river with a fishing pole in his hand. Though he often carried a “mean mug” on his face, anyone who truly knew him understood just how softhearted, loving, and generous he was. Rodney cared deeply for others and was always willing to help in any way he could. He loved his family and his friends with everything he had. His Mother and Grandmother was the center of his world, and as for his sister it was always full of laughter, teasing, arguing, and the kind of love only they could understand. His dogs were his constant companions and truly his best friends. Above all, Rodney loved our God. He may have walked his own path at times, but God always found a way to put him back on the path he was supposed to be on. His faith was a solid part of his heart and his story. Rodney will be remembered for his kindness, stubborn streak, his humor, and the love he gave so freely. Though he will be deeply missed, the imprint he left on those who knew him will remain forever. Rodney has finally found his rightful place in this world. He is free. Rodney was preceded in death by his father, Roger Carr; uncle, Bobby Childree; and his grandfather, O’Neal Childree. Survivors include his mother, Margie Weldon of Ozark; sister, Krissy Walker (Jason) of Ozark; grandmother, Nell Childree, Ozark; two aunts, Martha Rogers, Ozark and Myra Perault (Pat) of Dothan; one uncle, Billy Childree of Ozark; niece, Destiny Walker and nephew, Travis Walker.
