Richard Carroll
Richard “Rick” D. Carroll, 59, of Cleveland passed away on Saturday, March 23, 2019, in a Chattanooga hospital.
Rick was a member of North Cleveland Baptist Church. He served lovingly along with his wife and family fixing meals and helping so many of his beloved church family.
At the time of his passing, Rick had been employed at Volkswagen of Chattanooga for eight years. He was a Team Leader in Production/ Assembly line on the Powertrain team. He was proud to be a part of VW family. He worked with his family furniture business, HiLo Industries for many years and was also employed at The SPOT restaurant. He enjoyed working with his co-workers and friends.
Rick was a hardworking man who supported his family out of love more than because of need. He was a “music man” and it filed his heart and soul. Spending time with his family was his other passion. He was a supporter of the Boys and Girls Scouts, Cub Scout Master and BCHS Band Booster. He was a graduate of the Bradley High School Class of 1978 and a proud bear daddy of all our little bears.
He was preceded in death by his father, George C. Carroll; sister, Patricia Herrod; paternal grandparents, Oscar and Mary Carroll and maternal grandparents, James and Cordie Wooden.
Survivors include his wife, Janice Hawkins Carroll; mother, Evelyn Carroll; children, David (Tiffany) Hawkins, Cassie Myers and Patrick Carroll; grandson, Nathan Hawkins, all of Cleveland; siblings, Mary (Roger) Wright, Gary Carroll, Lisa (Buddy) Keller and Annie Carroll; several nieces and nephews and his beloved pets that will miss him.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 28, at North Cleveland Baptist Church with Lanny Green officiating. Interment will follow in Lee Cemetery.
The family will receive friends from 2–7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27, at Fike-Randolph and Son Funeral Home, and also one hour prior to the service at the church on Thursday.
