Christopher "Chris" Carroll Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 27, 2025.
Oak Ridge - 12/15/1968- 08/15/2025 His eyes were his soul; when you looked into them you saw life full of surprise, joy, laughter, happiness, pain. Someone that would give you the shirt off his back and more. He finally let enough hurt go to not be self destructive. His love for life, nature, family, friends, partner of eighteen years, Jesus Christ and God Almighty encompassed his remaining time on earth!

His last few years showed awesome strength mentally, physically, spiritually. Diagnosed diabetes, cancer followed with surgery, chemo, radiation, multiple feeding tubes, botched laryngectomy yielding nine pneumonia infections, lung scaring, reduced lung capacity, ventilator dependence. Cancer free, his lungs wore out; BODACIOUS, God Bless.

Chris was such a kind and welcoming person. He always brightened up the days of the people he encountered. Even during all that he endured would find a way to smile and make those around him happy.

Its hard not to remember the struggles he went through these past years. Its been of great disappointment for our family and all those who knew him to hear of his passing. All were truly looking forward to having his warm loving spirit in our lives for many years to come

I choose to remember him in those better days his laugh and smile would just cheer you right up. Just a happy joyful man. We always grieve and morn at any loss of loved ones. It's at those times we must cling to those promises of Jesus that death will not have final victory over us.

In the twinkling of an eye those that believed in him that have perished will be transformed and raised up with him in glory and new everlasting life. That is the hope and joy knowing that that moment is coming for Christopher. A perfect name for him. Christ-bearer. In memory for those of us that knew him he was an example of how that love inside him can change and conquer all.

Those of us he has now left behind will always remember that warmth until we a reunited with him thereafter.
