Robert Alan Carpenter, 65, of Taylorsville, N.C., passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, in Taylorsville. He was born September 23, 1959, in Catawba County, the son of Bonita Jean Goodson Huffman and the late William Robert Carpenter.

Robert was a carpenter by trade for most of his working career. He enjoyed fishing and spending time outdoors, especially with his grandson and nephews. He loved his dogs; they went everywhere with him.

In addition to his mother, those left to cherish and honor his memories include his daughter, Christina Rankin (Josh); his grandchildren, Julieann Rankin, Asher Rankin, and Zachary Hall; his sisters, Brandy Nicole Huffman of Conover, and Candace Teague and Jenell Long, both of Taylorsville; his brother, Tony Huffman (Sheila) of Newton; his nephews and niece, Lucas Teague, Joseph Teague, Seth Bruton, Marisa Teague, Kert Long, and Robert Long; and several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

The family will have a private service at a later date.
