Newburyport MA - Mr. Robert (Rob) James Carrier, 56 of Newburyport, passed away on Thursday, October 7, 2021. Born in Newburyport on July 22, 1965, to the late Raymond and Noreen Carrier, Rob was raised on Columbus Ave where he enjoyed growing up on a great street in a wonderful neighborhood. Rob was a caring, compassionate and sympathetic man. Though he battled severe illness he did it with an optimistic and positive attitude. He had the ability to make everyone he came in contact with a friend. Rob enjoyed watching his favorite sport, wrestling, having his much loved Everything bagel from Abrahams and he liked to cook as well as share his delicious meals with friends. In his younger days he enjoyed shooting darts. But having said all that, what Rob loved most, more than life itself, were his wonderful daughters, Kaitlyn and Isabella. They were the sun that shined in his every moment of his every day. He lived much longer than anyone could have ever imagined because he had the absolute will to be there for his girls.
