RESOLUTION

To recognize and honor the Life and legacy of Jaysen
Carr and to declare Saturday, July 18, 2026, as "Jaysen Carr 'Be a good Human'
Day" in South Carolina.

W
hereas, the members of
the South Carolina Senate take great pleasure in honoring the life and legacy
of Jaysen Clarence Louis Carr who passed away on July 18, 2025; and

W
hereas, Jaysen was
born on October 3, 2012, to Clarence and Ebony Carr, and was a natural born
leader and friend to all, always looking for ways to help and encourage those
around him. His parents say that Jaysen embodied the message, "Be a Good Human,"
always offering a kind gesture to others in the hope of improving their day. His
family will continue to spread Jaysen's message and legacy through the "Jaysen
Carr 'Be a Good Human' Foundation." They have already made a difference by
hosting a baseball tournament fundraiser to help towards research and finding a
cure for the amoeba that took Jaysen's life and supporting a scholarship for a
student athlete at Dreher High School. On October 4, 2025, his family and
friends came together at one of his favorite places, Altitude Trampoline Park
to celebrate Jaysen's Birthday and continue to support and spread the "Be a
Good Human" message with all who loved him; and

W
hereas, Jaysen made a
lasting impact on every life he touched, making friends everywhere he went as
he was active in school, church, band, sports, and volunteering efforts in his
free time. He loved sports, cars, playing video games, sunsets, cooking,
telling dad jokes, hanging out with friends and family, and spreading joy to
all around him. He was a rising 8
th
grader at Hand Middle School and
a proud member of both the football and basketball teams, helping to lead both
teams to district state championships. He played flute in the Honor Band and
was an honor student, even being a year ahead. Jaysen was also a member of
Unified Champions, a school group dedicated to inclusion and compassion for all;
and

W
hereas, Jaysen loved
baseball, starting young as a standout for Trenholm Little League. Being able
to play every position, he quickly progressed to the 12U Yard Dawgs and the 13U/14U
Sawmill travel baseball teams. He then played for the Dreher High School B and
JV teams. He was known as being a great leader on and off the field, always
encouraging teammates, lifting spirits, and celebrating everyone's wins as if
they were his own; and

W
hereas, Jaysen was a
member of Wesley United Methodist Church and was active in the youth program at
Shandon United Methodist Church. His faith, love for God, magnetism, and
kindness radiated in every space he entered; and

W
hereas, Jaysen's
legacy will live on through those who knew and loved him while they continue to
share his story and message, inspiring many to "Be a Good Human" just like
Jaysen. Now, therefore,

B
e it resolved by the
Senate
:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina
Senate
, by this resolution,
recognize and honor the life and legacy of Jaysen Carr and declare Saturday,
July 18, 2026, as "Jaysen Carr 'Be a Good Human' Day" in South Carolina.
