Terry Lee Carroll

Terry Lee Carroll, 74 years old, of Northwood, OH, passed away peacefully on October 21, 2023 in his wife's arms. Terry was born to Patricia and O'dene Carroll, Sr. on Lee Street in Ironville, Ohio on May 8, 1949. Terry served in the United States Army from 1969 to 1971 during the Vietnam War. He worked at Jeep for 58, years as a Millwright, and reminded everyone that he was there since the floors were made of dirt. He was a proud UAW Local 12 member and an active fulltime employee until his last breathing day. Terry never missed a chance to talk "Union". He didn't blink an eye when purchasing a 1949 (his birth year) Jeepster as soon as he saw it! He enjoyed taking it for rides and showing it off while educating his passengers about the original way they were built.

He owned several businesses and rental properties that he worked his entire life for. Included in his businesses were 6 local bars, Hot Spring Spas, Carroll's Health and Fitness Center, and a construction company. He also trained martial arts as a Master Instructor for 35 years at his Tae Kwon Do Center, which maintained 250 students that he loved like family. He belonged to the "AAU" that he was the regional director of for 7 states and sat as the state chairman for 7 years. He received his high school diploma upon entering the United States Army, took 2 years of mechanical engineering education, as well as 4 years in the millwright apprenticeship. He was a very special man with a quick wit personality and always a motivator. Terry was a kind and loving person towards others. He loved riding his Harleys on warm summer days, running, working out and you couldn't catch him in anything but a Carhartt and Dungaree's.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Carroll; father, O'dene Carroll, Sr.; and his first wife, Gloria Carroll. Survived by his wife, and love of his life, Jocelyn Carroll; daughters, Tara (Brandon) Gordon, Mia Cannon Carroll; son, Jason (Samantha) Carroll; 6 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren; brothers, O'dene Carroll, Jr., Larry Carroll, Sr.; and lifelong friends, Jack Reed and Brian Young. He will be dearly missed by many and loved by his wife until the end of time.
