John Kevin Carroll IV

My son, John, a gift given to me at an early age to change my life around and who for most of his life was my best friend. He had many interests over the years; boy scouts, bonding us over our mutual passion for the outdoors. He loved football, this was his passion, and had enjoyed playing the game the last couple of years. John was passionate about art and music, loved being the class clown, hanging out with his friends, and was fiercely loyal to them.

John is survived by his parents, and grandparents. Though he struggled in understanding how loved he was, John leaves behind an enormous wake of friends and family that cared very deeply for him.

Words cannot express our sadness. May God comfort and guide John through this next path in life.

With loving memories, we gather this day.
