Grandson of former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr has brain tumor
Chad Carr, the 4-year-old grandson of former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The boy’s mother, Tammi Curtis Carr, wrote on Facebook that the tumor is in his brain stem and is “inoperative.”
“This is Chad,” she wrote along with a photo of the little boy. “My precocious, beautiful smart soon to be 4 year old. Yesterday our lives changed as he was diagnosed with an inoperative brain tumor in his brain stem. We now need prayers and it’s my hope that this goes viral and millions fall in love with my little man and send him prayers. It’s going to take a miracle and I believe it can happen and I hope you will help and spread his story!!”
Chad is the son of former Michigan quarterback Jason Carr, who played under his father at Michigan from 1992-1995. Lloyd Carr was the Wolverines’ defensive coordinator from 1987-1994, before being hired as head coach in 1995. He retired as head coach after the 2007 season.
Our thoughts go out to the Carr family during this tough time.
