Frank T Carr

PORTLAND, MAINE – Frank Carr, a family man, leader in the Maine business community, proud military officer, and lover of all things Naval Aviation, especially the rotary wing community, passed away on Friday, June 5, 2026.

Frank was born in Brighton, CO on May 11, 1966. He graduated from Portland High School in 1984 as a member of the boys’ varsity soccer and track teams and was the proud manager of the girls’ varsity basketball team. He went on to study General Science, with a special interest in Computer Science, at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. As a member of the class of 1988, he was the president of the Scuba Diving Club. He served his country for 8 years, flying helicopters on tour in the Persian Gulf, and later as a search and rescue trainer at Brunswick Naval Airbase in Brunswick, ME.

Frank was a Michigan Man as much as he was a Midshipman, having graduated from Ross Business School in 1998, and relished the memories of being at the 1998 Rose Bowl and 2024 CFP Championship Game. An active member in the Maine commercial realty world, Frank was looked up to as a leader and mentor. He valued education and would eagerly coach anyone who sought his advice. He was an avid historian and knew every thread of Revolutionary War detail that ran through New England. He had countless circles of friends throughout his life and cherished the travels and adventures he had with them all.

Foremost for Frank, though, was the pride in his two daughters. Their births were the proudest moments of his life, and he always tried to create special memories together with them, even if it was just sharing an ice cream.

Frank was predeceased by his father, Thomas Eames Carr, II. Frank is survived by his daughter, Jordyn; his daughter, Hannah and her partner Alex; his granddaughter, Eleanor; the girls’ mother, Theresa; his brother, Alex and his wife Katy; his brother, Charlie and his wife Angela; his stepmother, Deborah DiDominicus Carr; and his mother, Cherie Davis. He will be missed by all who were fortunate to have known him.
