Bobby Dillon Carroll began his life’s journey on June 16, 1954 in Ardmore, OK the son of Howard Dillon and Barbara June (Shirley) Carroll. Throughout his life, Bobby held many titles from Franchise systems manager to the more important ones, like “Uncle Bob” because he was everyone’s favorite uncle, then the three that meant the most to him “Husband”, “Dad”, and “Bob pa”. Bobby would do absolutely anything for his family, as he loved them fiercely. His trip through life was one full of adventure, from living in other countries as child, to joining the Navy as a young man. It seemed as though he would never set still. Then it happened, that one special someone that will change all your plans when you least expect it. Bobby married Kathy Torgerson, and the journey got better, blessing Bobby with Brett and Jenny and then along came Matt. The view was never better for him than watching his family grow with each passing year. Bobby had so many things to occupy his time along the way, from spending a day on a lakeshore with a hook in the water, whipping up something amazing in the kitchen, entertaining the nephews, and cheering on those beloved OU Sooners, and all the things he was passionate about. Like writing and coaching Matt in roller hockey and soccer… and we should probably mention those OU SOONERS again, it was never a dull moment being around Bobby. His health began to fade over the last few years and on May 12, 2023 in Oklahoma City, OK, he exited life’s journey to join his wife in heaven. Bobby is a great Husband, Dad, Bob pa, Uncle, and Friend that will be remembered in all the special moments he created along the way.
Meeting him on the streets of gold include his parents Howard and Barbara Carroll, and his wife Kathy (Torgerson) Carroll.
