Justin Carr’s mom Susan Toler Carr can testify that there are life-changing and life-altering events. Disney contacted her to talk about her time as an Engineer with Walt Disney Imagineer and life as she knows with the Justin Carr World-Peace Foundation was created after Justin died from an undiagnosed heart condition at age 16. Justin was a young Renaissance man who loved everything Disney— he visited the parks in California and Florida and had many of his birthdays with friends. Once he even designed his bday cupcakes with his friend’s likeness for his celebration, and he played Rafiki in 4th grade in his school’s “Lion King “Production. With all his creative abilities, Justin had hopes and dreams of becoming an Imagineer one day. I’m glad he got to enjoy some aspects of the parks. He was so proud that I once worked there. The segment did not air as scheduled on 4/11/21 because Radio Disney closed its doors a few days prior after operating for 25 years. Fortunately, she got a copy of the audio and added pictures to make this video. More
