Timothy Carr
Timothy Ayerst Carr, 49, of Charlottesville, died of cystic fibrosis, on Wednesday, August 8, 2012, at Martha Jefferson Hospital. He was born on September 14, 1962, in Louisville, Kentucky, to the late Douglas Reed Carr and the late Grace Page Landers Carr. After the family moved to Virginia, he graduated from E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg and attended the University of Virginia, where he majored in psychology and received his B.A. in 1985. After graduating from college, he worked as an intern at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Bethesda, Maryland. Tim subsequently pursued a variety of different career tracks before opening a car detailing business in Charlottesville, which he ran for ten years before his disease made it impossible for him to continue. During his years on disability, he pursued his interests in computers and web design as well as his lifelong passion for strength training, fitness, and nutrition. He credited his weight training program with extending his life far beyond the average span expected for cystic fibrosis patients. He combined his varied interests in his fitness blog, www.totalphysiqueonline.com. He had a lively, if quirky, sense of humor, and loved to play online word games with friends near and far. Tim was a devoted Christian, and while his disease kept him housebound most of the time, he surrounded himself with a community of like-minded Christians and participated in various prayer groups to the extent that his illness permitted. He is survived by his brother, Michael "Beau" Carr, his sister-in-law, Suzanne Hagedorn, and his nephew, Edwin Douglas Carr, of Williamsburg, Virginia; his stepmother, Terri Hileman Carr of Charlottesville; and his half-siblings, Katie Carr Messer and Douglas Carr of Asheville, North Carolina. He is also survived by his two aunts, Natalie Ruth Matthews of Wilson, North Carolina and her family, and Nancy Lanford Carr of Augusta, Georgia, and her family, as well as numerous cousins and second cousins. He also leaves an extensive network of friends and prayer partners in Charlottesville and beyond, including his special friend, Berenice "Bunny" Barnes of Abbotsford, British Columbia. Tim's dear friend, University of Virginia Medical Center Chaplain Don Moore, will officiate at a memorial service at 10 a.m. September 15, 2012, at the University of Virginia Chapel. A reception will follow. There will be a private interment at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Tim's memory may be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or to Love Inc. of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
