The article claimed that Roy "Chubby" Carrier is dead, and cited http://roycarrier.com/ as a reference. However, that page doesn't say who is dead - somebody appears to be, but "Chubby Carrier" is one of the guests at the benefit that it refers to, so it can't be him. It has been suggested that Roy Carrier Snr, Chubby's father, is the deceased, and that seems to fit with the only other reference given, at allmusic. So I've removed the stuff about Chubby being dead, as he doesn't appear to be, and I've removed the dates given, as they appear to be his father's dates. I suspect people have been conflating the two Roy Carriers here, and if Roy Carrier Snr is of sufficient notability, he should have his own article.

Joseph Roy "Zydeco Roy" Carrier, Sr. died May 4 2010. (ref:[1][2][3] and others) He was the father of the subject of this article, Joseph Roy "Chubby" Carrier Jr. Oddly enough, there is no article for Roy Sr, who certainly warrants one. I'll see if I can get something started for him. But yes, there was some confusion here, which is understandable as both went by Roy and both are big in Zydeco music.
