Carroll was a loving daddy and caring granddaddy who loved his family dearly. He was a simple man who was respected by all who knew him. He was a good, quiet and humble man who enjoyed being around his family and friends. Being a hard worker and good provider, Carroll always made certain his family had what they needed. He enjoyed farming and working with wood, whether he was building a piece of furniture or just whittling on a piece of cedar. In his later years, he was affectionately known as "Candy Man" at church and the rest home as he would share his candy and gum with others. Carroll was truly a gift from God and all who knew him were very blessed.
