Chad Carr, 5, dies, gains ‘his angel wings’

Five-year-old Chad Carr and his family fought hard, drew prayers from around the world, and have created a foundation in his name, but he has lost his battle with an inoperable brain tumor.

Chad, the youngest of Tammi and Jason Carr’s three sons, was the grandson of former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr and Tom Curtis, the Michigan All-American defensive back (1967-1969). He has passed away according to a social media post from Tammi Carr on Monday.

“#chadtough gained his angel wings today. Please pray for peace for our family,” Tammi Carr wrote.

Chad passed away Monday at 1:21 p.
