"The loss of Joey - who remained passionate about the game at all levels until the very end - is one which leaves West Indies cricket poorer," said WICB chairman Julian Hunte.
Carew opened the batting for the West Indies and made one Test century, against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland in 1969.
He was also a mentor of world record-breaking batsman Brian Lara.
