David Alfred Carroll, 59, of Pensacola, FL, passed away of cardiac arrest on Saturday, March 16, 2024.
David was born on October 2, 1964, in Pensacola, FL, to John A. and Latiné Dupree Carroll. He graduated from Tate High School in 1983 and Florida State University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science. He then attended the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for law school and graduated in 1992.
After moving to Pensacola, David began his law practice and specialized in family law. Throughout his 28-year career, David helped countless families and individuals through difficult circumstances.
David met and married the love of his life, Chitra, in Pensacola, FL. He was a devoted and loving husband. His greatest joys were his daughters, Danielle, and Emily. He was very involved in their lives and activities, whether it was chaperoning field trips, helping with Danielle at drama club where he became known as “Papa Carroll”, or spending time with Emily at Camp Beckwith.
David’s willingness to assist and connect with others was made evident through his participation with the Pensacola India Association, where he served as president for four years. David loved being outdoors. Camping, fishing, swimming, and cycling were some of his favorite activities. David will be remembered for his endless acts of service, joyful spirit, and whimsical sense of humor.

Read MoreI'm so very sad for David's passing. He represented me in a highly stressful case and was a calming voice in the storm. He also assisted me in another matter and was very generous with his time for which I am forever grateful. I wish I knew of this sooner, but I am holding up your family in my prayers.
