 Dr. James Bradley Carr, 57, of Roanoke, a beloved father, dedicated husband, and world-renowned orthopaedic surgeon, died December 31, 2011. Jim was born on October 13, 1954 in Evanston, Ill. He attended Colorado State University for his undergraduate studies and graduated first in his medical school class at Northwestern University. He went on to complete a residency in orthopaedic surgery at Northwestern University, followed by one of the countries top ranked fellowships in orthopaedic traumatology at the University of Washington, Seattle. He was a member of the American Medical Association, AO Foundation, Orthopaedic Trauma Association, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, and American Orthopedic Association. He has taught and educated medical students, interns, residents, and fellows at the University of Missouri, Medical College of Virginia, and University of South Carolina. In his lifetime, he has contributed to the field of orthopaedic surgery through numerous research projects, published papers, and many chapters in orthopaedic textbooks. Dr. Carr was recognized as one of the world's leading experts in orthopaedic surgery and traumatology and has taught at orthopaedic meetings throughout the world. Since 2007, Dr. Carr has been a well-loved and respected member of the Lewis-Gale Medical Center Department of Orthopaedic Surgery in Salem. While Dr. Carr has been awarded numerous honors in his lifetime, including being listed in Best Doctors in America since its inception, he is also remembered as a Little League baseball coach, boy scout troop leader, high school football team doctor, active church member, and most importantly, as a loving husband and father, who attended every possible one of his children's horseback riding lessons, baseball games, soccer games, track meets, and cheerleading events. He unconditionally loved and selflessly provided for his wife, Bonnie, his children, Brittany, Beamer, and Brooke, and his father-in-law, Nicholas Musashe.
