KENNETH CARR CHAMBLISS, 72, was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi on September 23, 1935 to Clem and Polly Chambliss. With his family surrounding him and being held in the arms of his wife of 53 years, Mary Davidson Chambliss, Carr went to be with his Lord on May 2, 2008 in Houston, Texas. Mary will miss him deeply and will love Carr “till forever passes by.” His children Lee Chambliss Holt (Steve), Margaret Chambliss Carnett (Robert), and Kenneth Carr Chambliss, Jr. will continue to be blessed by their father. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren John Carr Harvey; Casey Harvey Garcia (Tim); Mary Caitlin, Julie, and Caroline Carnett; Harrison and Parker Chambliss; Rebecca Marie Rodriguez; and Addison Garcia will be reflections of his strength, integrity, and wit.

Carr moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama at age fifteen where he met Mary when they were 10th graders at Tuscaloosa High School. He graduated from the University of Alabama, served his country in the Korean War as a Captain, and went on to earn a Master’s Degree from University of Alabama.  His career in international maritime insurance took Carr and his family from one corner of the world to another before settling in Houston in 1978.

Such a full life was truly made complete when, at age 69, Carr realized that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and His grace were to be his greatest treasures.  Carr’s most fervent prayers were that he would know Jesus fully and that his children and grandchildren would know Him, as well. 

Others who survive Carr and who will remember him with great affection include his siblings, Gerry Chambliss, Hugh Chambliss, Carol Chambliss Moreland, and Norma Chambliss Newton; and his many cousins, nieces, and nephews, all who have shared a great fondness for Carr over the years and will miss him dearly.

Carr’s family is deeply grateful for those who aided him during his illness.
