RIP Chad Carr
So sad - my heart's never broken so much for someone I've never met.

R.I.P ....so, so sad

If it's all the same with you, God, can we stop having close ones die during Ohio State week?
And while you're granting wishes, please enlighten someone with the cure for cancer.
God Bless Chad, his parents, and family.

Children are special and deserve the world and enjoy life.
This is so sad - God bless him and the family.

RIP little man. Your suffering is over, the pain from this life gone and now you have the best seat at the BigHouse. Irish Nation mourns with our Wolverine brothers and sisters.

As a father of two, this is truly heartbreaking to see. I'd loosely followed the #chadtough story from afar, but seeing the picture of a boy in his father's arms hit home incredibly hard. There must be some relief to see the struggle come to an end, but man... RIP little guy.

RIP Chad.

Alumni Clubs in San Diego and Los Angeles were mobilized to send cards to the Carr family and toys to local hospitals on behalf of Chad and raffling Chad Tough and other Michigan merchandise at halftime for Saturday's game watch.... we will continue to remember you even if you are not with us on earth.

I cannot imagine how hard it would be to lose a child at such a young age. Prayers for the Carr family. May the grace of God be with them.
November 23rd, 2015 at 3:30 PM ^
RIP, little man. Condolences to the family . Its bad enough when this happens. Only made worse around the holidays .
November 23rd, 2015 at 3:33 PM ^
Thoughts and prayers to the entire Carr family.
November 23rd, 2015 at 3:36 PM ^
and its a week after i found out my grandfather was diagnose with inopperable cancer which he is also in hospice care. My concolences to the Carr family.
November 23rd, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
I have two boys Chad's age. I am so overwhelmed with emotion right now, I can hardly see straight. Deepest condolences to the Carr family...may they somehow find peace now that Chad has found his.

I can't even imagine the pain his parents must feel. No parent should ever have to attend their child's funeral, it is just so against the natural order of things.

RIP little man. Well, there isn't much of any good you can get from this situation.. the only advice I can give in my limited capacity is - just be thankful for what you have. Be thankful for your health, your family, your friends. Realize there are so many things that you take for granted everyday. Take a moment to reflect on those things and your relationships - make improvements. Reach out to that old friend you haven't talked to in years. Make amends. If your 3yr old Mgodaughter wants to read another book tonight before she goes to bed... read another book to her. Cherish those little things and don't take them for granted.

This old man’s shedding tears after reading of this horrible news. There was so much optimism for Chad Carr a year ago; but now, sadly, the toughest young Wolverine has fought his last battle on Earth.

that Chad was able to pass at home, surrounded by family.
The picture of Chad in his father's arms is heartbreaking, but as someone who has seen relatives die of cancer, how Chad went is the best way one can hope for.
Godspeed, kiddo. You're in a better place.
November 23rd, 2015 at 3:43 PM ^
I can only think back to the picture of Chad walking with the Lion and the caption saying that we never walk alone. I know that Chad will always be with his family watching over them. He will know that he touched so many lives of people he never knew. That is the definition of a true hero!
My thoughts and prayers are with the Carr family. I can't imagine how they must feel.

I've been really shaken up by the news of Chad Carr's passing. Donating to the ChadTough Foundation helped a little knowing that his battle brought awareness to a disease that takes kids from this world too soon.
If you'd like to do the same, here's the website of the foundation that the Carr family set up:

RIP Chad...
I just made a donation to the Chad Tough Foundation. I hope everyone can join me in that, maybe we can fund some research to save a kid in the future.

This is very sad, and so hard. My heart goes out for mom and dad especially. There are many hard things I have to do as a pastor. This is close to the top of the list. When someone so young dies, even younger than Chad, it is one of the hardest things in the world. There is a lot of pain, and a lot of tears, but no relief. There are a lot of questions, but no good answers.
- Time doesn't heal all wounds, although they usually scab over.
- You can't just snap your fingers and move on, "get over it."
- This is tricky, but having faith doesn't mean you don't have lots of pain.
- Everything "doesn't happen for a reason." I don't see good reasons for cancer.
Never say, "at least," as in "at least he didn't suffer," or "at least he died young," or "at least you had him five years," or "at least you can have more children." There is no "at least" when you lose a child.
Never say, "be thankful" in much the way you never should say "at least." Saying "be thankful" almost sounds like a lecture.
There are some of you who know the Carr family personally. I'm sure you will be there for them. For the rest of us, have eyes to see those who are suffering and in pain. Be ready to say "I'm sorry," and to cry together, and hug a lot, and be quiet together in the pain. Simply being a good friend who cares is the best thing that we can offer in situations like this.

This sucks. I'm so proud of this university, handling this situation with as much attention as humanly possible. Proud of Ohio State University and Michigan State University for dropping the rivalry digs and assisting in anyway possible. Prayers for the family. The only positive is he's now at peace and not fighting a battle living miserably.
Someone said it best above/below... This hurts a lot like family and I've never met Chad.
November 23rd, 2015 at 3:58 PM ^
No one should ever have to outlive their kids. The grief must be unimaginable. Condolences to the family. RIP Chad.
