Kenneth Dale Carroll of Stuart, Florida was suddenly called home to be with Jesus on December 2, 2020, at the age of 60.

Ken was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1960 to Eugene and Joan Carroll, who preceded him in death.

Ken is survived by his beloved wife of almost 40 years, Kim; son Andrew Carroll (Anna); daughter Lindsay Campbell (Robby); and two grandchildren that he adored, Leighton and William Carroll.

Ken was the fourth child of eight. He is survived by his siblings Eugene Carroll (Carrie), Charlene McGrath (Chris), Stephen Carroll (Judy), Rhonda Lutker (Dale), Michael Carroll (Mary) and Keith Carroll (Jennifer), and many nieces and nephews that he loved so much. His brother, David Carroll, preceded him in death.

Family was important to Ken, and he had wonderful relationships with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Ken never knew a stranger, and considered everyone to be his brother-in-Christ.

After graduating high school in 1979, Ken joined the US Navy and served on the DD-944 USS Mullinnix as a machinist mate. He loved his time in the Navy and was extremely proud of his military service. During his service, Ken was awarded the Shipmate-of-the-Quarter. He enjoyed attending the DD-944 USS Mullinnix reunions whenever he could, forming new friendships and renewing old friendships with shipmates. Ken was a lifetime member of the VFW.

Ken moved to Stuart upon retirement in 2015 after 23 years with Ameren Missouri. He was a transmission lineman and enjoyed the brotherhood and friendship with his fellow coworkers.

Ken's passion and purpose in life was to share the love of Jesus with everyone he met, and Ken spent his entire life bringing others closer to Him. Though Ken formally retired, he never retired from spreading God's word, love and joy with every single person he encountered. He was best known for his authenticity, beautiful smile and heart-felt, bear hugs. When you met Ken, he wanted you to remember and know that Jesus loved you more than anything and that you were special.

Ken volunteered for Treasure Coast Hospice, the Christian Community Care Center,  the Stuart Police Department, and greeting and bread ministry with his church, Covenant Fellowship. Through his countless acts of service, he formed an abundance of meaningful friendships.

A celebration of Ken's life (memorial service) will be held at Covenant Fellowship Baptist Church in Stuart, FL on Sunday, December 6 at 2 p.m. There will also be a service at Grace Church in St. Louis, Missouri later this month.
