at this difficult time,Leslie Struck Jamieson and John Jamieson

An eternal candle for your son and family. Our prayers are with you.

If tears could build a stairway,and memories a lane,I'd walk right up to Heaven
and bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you,no one will ever know. -  Unknown Author

Deann, my prayers are with you and your family. There are no words that can fill the void you now have or ease the pain. I am so very sorry for the loss of your son and the unique person he must have been.

The Driscoll branch of the Slade family was saddened to hear of the death of your beloved son.  Thank you for giving us the words "big guy with a warm hug" to remember him by.  We send our love to you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this terribly difficult time.

It was an honor to be Brendan's teacher at Lee Middle and Edgewater.  I can't wrap my mind around this, which I suppose means I have to give it to God.  I can't begin to imagine your sense of loss.  I am praying for all of you daily.

Dear Carr Family,

We pray that "Love & Peace" which surpasses all understanding be with each of you during this difficult time.

What moves through us is a silence,a quiet sadness,a longing for one more day,one more word,one more touch,We may not understand why he left this earth so soon,or why he left before we were ready to say good-bye,But little by little,we begin to remember not just that he died,but that he lived.And that his life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Deann and family - I am very sorry to hear of your loss. It is very heartening to know that so many people thought so well of your son through the years - as a child and into adulthood. I hope this brings your family some level of peace in the days to come.

I am thinking of you all. God bless you and keep you.

Thanks to everyone for writing in Brendan's guest book.  We have been blessed by reading your expressions of support for us and love for our big boy.  Brendan's memorial service will be held on Wednesday, June 4, at St. Andrews United Methodist Church, 100 St. Andrews Blvd., Winter Park, at 7:00pm.   Hope you can attend.   -- Bob and DeAnn.

Dear Carr family, We remember his Scouting days and how he was developing into a responsible young man.Our prayers go out to you and for him.

Dear Carr family,

Joey and I have fond memories of Brendan and your family from our days with Troop 28. We are so sorry to hear about Brendan's death.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. 

Wishing you peace, eventually.

Im very sorry for your loss and hope that the knowledge of your amazing son affecting so many people in a positive way throughout his life fills you with pride. We are all truely better having known him and will miss him dearly.

Mr. and Mrs. Carr, we have never had the pleasure to meet.  I know your kind and gentle son Brendan, through my son James.  Brendan was very polite and helpful when at our house.  Brendan would come over to watch movies, play video games or the guitar hero set that would shake the house.  I would always try to feed him, in the beginning he would be polite and refuse.  Soon after he would eat anything I offered so not to disappoint me.  He had a heart bigger that life itself.  I would worry about him going home at night, and ask him to text James when he got home.  I can only imagine the agony you are going thru because my heart aches at the thought of never seeing him again.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family.  I want to thank you both for sharing him with the different people whose lives he has touched.

Brendan is one of the sweetest and warm hearted young men I've ever met. I'm forever grateful to have had the pleasure to be his friend and will never forget the smiles, laughter and joy he brought into all of our hearts. Prayers and so much love to all who knew him, friends and family.

You're in our thoughts. Remembering Edgewater band days.

Robert Brendan Carr, you were the best friend anyone could have ever asked for! I will always remember you. Your happiness and positivity always filled a room with your joy. Your crazy goofiness could always make everyone laugh...or look at you strangely (lol). 

At least you are now at a better place and there will be no more sorrow or pain for you.

God Bless You and I will Miss you Immensely!

Your "Avalon"family is here for all of you.  Please know that we all care and are ready to help in any way that we can.  You are in our prayers.

Lisa Skinner

Bob, DeAnn and Michael, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bob and Deann, and Michael,

Candace told me last night about Brendan's accident.  We spent a sweet time talking about Brendan. I am so sorry and send you hugs and prayers of comfort.
Gina Horton

DeAnn, Bob and Michael, I am filled with the deepest sadness for you. I remember Brendan as a sweet little boy at Princeton. It was so obvious that both he and Michael were from a loving, supportive home. My heart goes out to all of you at this difficult time. May the Lord bless you and keep you close. You are in my prayers.

Brendan was the sweetest young man I've ever known. We will miss his beautiful smile and warm heart. He really could light up any room just by walking in. You did a wonderful job raising him and we thank you for that. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bob and Dee,
  I cannot fathom the pain of such a loss. May you find comfort in warm memories and God's love, along with the knowledge that we will someday soon find joy when we reunite in heaven. You have my sympathy, love, hugs, and prayers.

Bob & DeAnn

 You & family will be in my prayers and thoughts

  during this difficult time

Mark & I are very saddened to hear about Brendan!!  Bob, Dee & Michael, you are in our thoughts & prayers during this extremely diffcult time.  We are here for you anytime you need us!

I've known Brendan since we were 11 and starting band together. He was one of the most genuine and caring people that I know. Many good times and memories, I have because of him. I will always love him and miss him dearly. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Dear Bob, Dee and Michael,
Words can not express the sadness we feel.  Know that all of you are in our prayers.

Please know you are in our prayers and hearts.   We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Brendan.  We knew him as a very sweet boy and he remained one of Zach's good friends from the beginning of Scouts to the end of high school.   Zach has a lot of pictures of the kids and it is clear by them, that Brendan loved and was loved by all. 


Terry and Tammy Tatom

There are no words that would be sufficient to express how awful I feel about this. I remember meeting Brendan when he was one of the new Cub Scouts getting ready to join Troop 28. There was never a time since that we were not friends. As much as it pains me now that we had not hung out as much in the past few years, I am so grateful that I was able to hang out with him once last year. Brendan was as thoughtful and full of kindness as he was silly and just absolutely hilarious. He was one of my very best friends throughout our most formative years, and I'm going to miss him so much.

I am so, so, very sorry.  You are all in my prayers.

Dee Dee, Bob and Michael -- we are so very sorry for your loss -- you are in our thoughts and prayers -- we know Brendan is with our Lord in Heaven -- his memory will be cherished...

He was a talented, kind-hearted, down-to-earth guy with so much more left to give the world. It was a blessing to have known him, and I send comfort, love, and strength to all who are suffering from this tragic loss

May the love of family and friends carry you all through your grief.

From DeElda's friend -

Mr. and Mrs. Carr,
I met your son Brendan through my son, Raymond and his girlfriend,Christine. Brendan was a very talented young man. I can remember him being at our house almost every weekend playing music , especially his drums. There are no words to express my deepest sympathies for your loss. Brendan lived life to the fullest and was always a joy to his friends. I hope that God is a comfort to you and your family at your time of loss and that He brings you peace when needed.  Brendan will be missed but never forgotten by our family.
With my deepest sympathy,
Nancy Radillo

I am so sorry about your son. I can remember him coming into Skycraft in your arms. God bless your family. Jan Wynn

Dear Deann, Bob and Michael,

Bob, I was so sorry to see the news of the untimely tragic accident which took your son from all his family,  friends and loved ones. My thoughts are with you and DeAnn and his brother michael.

I was one of Brendan's band chaperones for years. My daughter, Erica was a trumpet player. We are both shocked and deeply saddened to hear of   the loss of this talented young man. Our sincere sympathy and prayers are with you!

Bob,  I'm so sorry!  I can't begin to imagine what you're going through. I don't know if there's anything I can do to help, but let me know if there is.  If nothing else, I have ears to listen with.
Blessings,

I too was a drummer at EHS, but way back in 62-64.  He will be missed by all EHS band alumni.
I also knew his dad in Demolay and i was in Rainbow.  Also have very fond memories of Mayor Bob Carr.  
My youngest rides a motorcycle and also is a drummer so this really hit me hard.
My prayers are with his Mom and Dad.  Please know even though i have not heard about you in 50 years i pray for your peace and cry with you!
Caroll Laughlin Burleson

Brendan will surel be missed. He had a  wonderful soul, a Gentleman, and called me Aunt Kim. My heat is in pieces with this news. My heat goes out to family and friends. Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace.

UNSEEN,  UNHEARD,  BUT ALWAYS NEAR,
STILL LOVED,  STILL MISSED,  AND  FOREVER DEAR.
