Michael "Monkey" Alan Carr

He was born October 18, 1984 in Peoria to Edward A. and Gloria A. (Van Order) Carr. Michael was never married but loved by many!

Preceding him in death are his mother, Gloria A. Ferguson, paternal grandparents, and one aunt, Louis Robinson.

He is survived by his father, Edward JR (Sandra) Carr of Washington, siblings: Casey (Jeff) Hanuski of East Peoria, Jeremy (Rosey) Carr of East Peoria, Matthew Smith of Creve Coeur, aunts and uncles: Larry Van Order, Maria Lynn Carr, Diane (Doug) Wiely, Carol (Harry Jr) Cramer, nieces and nephews: Austin, Caillie, Airick, Tonica, Skylar, Madison, Sebastian, and many cousins and friends.

Mike “Monkey” enjoyed being around people and helping out if he could. He loved live music festivals, Chicago Bears, and traveling randomly. He also loved joking around. He went to East Peoria High School where he participated in Track and Field, wrestling, and football. He loved being the class clown and making people laugh. You didn’t cross paths with him and not have a lasting impression of him.

Monkey will be missed not only as a friend but also as a son, brother, and an uncle.

Cremation rites have been accorded. A celebration of Monkey’s life will be Saturday, August 30, 2025 from 11 am to 4 pm at the Folepi’s Building, 2200 E Washington St., East Peoria. Remmert Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
