James Carroll Obituary
James Rudolph "Rudy" Carroll was born August 8, 1929 in the Fairdale Community, Sabine County, Texas to parents James Monroe and Ila Lavada Beasley Carroll. He entered into the loving presence of his Lord on March 3, 2012 at the age of 82.
Rudy was a charter member of South Avenue Baptist Church in Pasadena, Texas where he served faithfully these many years, and was a member of the Senior Men's Adult Sunday School Class. He also enjoyed the Seniors' game days with his treasured friends at church, as well as weekly 42 domino games with buddies at their homes. Following in his father's footsteps, Rudy was a master carpenter and through the years constructed many projects throughout the church.

Aunt Beverly & family,
If a man's worth is based on the lives he has touched and the sorrow he leaves behind, you can proudly and confidently say Uncle Rudy was a man that lived a rich, prosperous life. He was an amazing person with a huge heart. Find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.
We join with so many others who knew Uncle Rudy in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing.
