DONYCE CARR

DonyCe Carr, known to her loved ones as “Duck,” was a soul that seemed to belong to a gentler, more loving world than the one we live in. At just 16 years old, she had an extraordinary ability to see the beauty in others and reflect it back to them, leaving everyone she met a little better, a little brighter. Duck wasn’t just a teenager—she was an old soul, wise and warm, with a spirit that radiated kindness and compassion far beyond her years.

Duck’s love was her superpower, a quiet yet fierce force that wrapped her family and friends in a sense of belonging and comfort. Her smile wasn’t just a smile—it was an invitation to feel joy, to laugh a little louder, and to let go of the weight of the world for just a moment. She cared deeply, and when she loved you, it was like being wrapped in the safest, softest embrace you could ever imagine.

Her spirit belonged to the sun, to laughter-filled afternoons, to the kind of moments that live forever in memory. Duck had a way of leaving her mark—not in grand gestures, but in the gentle way she showed up for people, in her laughter, and in the quiet ways she said, I see you, I care about you.

“A bright, loving, caring, beautiful old soul gone way too soon,” her family says—a truth that carries both the weight of loss and the depth of her impact. Duck may have only been with us for 16 short years, but she lived in a way that could fill lifetimes with the love she gave.

Her story doesn’t end here. It lives on in the hearts of those who carry her with them, in the kindnesses she inspired, and in the echoes of her laughter that will never fade.
