The 5-year-old grandson of former Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr died more than a year after he was diagnosed with a rare, inoperable form of brain cancer
Chad Carr’s father, Jason Carr, said his son died on Monday in the family’s Pittsfield Township, Mich., home, where the boy had recently entered hospice care.
Chad’s story had brought together the Wolverines’ biggest rivals as he entered hospice. Michigan State and Ohio State players wore helmet decals honoring him when they played Saturday. It featured the image of a boy flexing his muscles and “ChadToughFDN” after the foundation created by his parents.
