A senate 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.

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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 8th 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

Whereas, 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 

Whereas, 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 

Whereas, 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,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That 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.
