Louis H. Carroll Jr.

Louis Carroll, age 84, of Evansville, IN passed away on Friday August 5, 2016 at his residence following a courageous battle with cancer. He was born February 28th, 1932, to Louis and Aleen (Carr) Carroll Sr. Louis was a member of Concordia Lutheran Church and previously a member of Emanuel. He graduated from Reitz HS in 1950 where he was senior class president and member of FFA. He went on to graduate from Purdue where he received both a bachelors and a master’s degree, graduating with honors. While at Purdue, he was a member of ATO Fraternity and a cheerleader--always a loyal Boiler Maker fan until the very end. He was a member of Farm Bureau, R-Men’s Club and faithfully attended his weekly Men’s Bible Study at Concordia. Louis was a longtime Union Township farmer most of his life. Although, he did spend his early years working for Hahn Equipment in sales. He proudly served his country as a member of the Coast Guard. His biggest hobby was gardening where he was always ready to compete for the biggest tomato in a local TV show competition, and prided himself in a weedless garden. Surviving Louis is his wife of 60 years Kay (Williams) Carroll, (whom he affectionately referred to as Cricket), three daughters, Rhonda (Stephen) Dest of Georgetown, TX, Jody (Rick) Kissel, Sandy (Jack) Danks, and, son in-law, Kevin Bryant, all of Evansville. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren: Darrin and Stephenie Dest, Lindsey (Brandon) Boots, Andrew (Jodi) Kissel, Zakary Kissel, Kourtney (Traye) Mattingly, Erik Bryant, Erica (Nathan) Hazel, Jordan (Kyle) Leffel, Kelsey (Joe) Walz, and Jack Danks. He is also survived by 9 great grandchildren with 3 more on the way. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Lori Bryant.
