Robert Carroll Obituary
Virginia Beach - Captain Robert "Bobby" Carroll, age 59, beloved husband, son, brother, father and grandfather passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family after a courageous and valiant battle with cancer. Bobby was born July 18, 1953 and raised in Princess Anne County. He was one of 10 children, the youngest son born to Edna White Carroll and James (Jamie) Adrian Carroll. At an early age he began fishing, hunting and building duck blinds with his father. His early knowledge of these trades developed Bobby into an avid, popular and successful hunting guide for Bay Haven Farms in Virginia Beach, Va. and William's Hunting Lodge in Knotts Island, N.C. He enjoyed many seasons of commercial net fishing on Corova Beach, NC and was a member of Ducks Unlimited. Bobby graduated from Kellam High School in 1972. He later earned his certified marine mechanics degree and began working for Princess Anne Marine. He established Bobby's Mobile Marina in 1981 from his residence. In 2007, Bobby found a new life with his wife, Kimberly Carroll by moving to Mount Pleasant, S.C. They re-established Raul's Seafood, becoming one of the most successful commercial seafood companies in the Lowcountry area. In 2010, Bobby and Kimberly renamed the company to Kimberly's Crabs. Bobby attended St. Andrews Episcopal Church and said that he felt closest to God when he was on his boat, out on the water. Bobby is survived by his wife of 4 years Kimberly Carroll, daughter; Stacy Carroll, son; Robert Carroll Jr. (Robby), daughter-in-law; Leah Carroll, stepson; Michael Moore, grand-daughters; Sophie Carroll and Joeli Bayot, siblings; Sidney Dean Carroll, Alice White, Adelaide Price, Adell Eden, Jimmy Carroll, Adelia (Teany) Whelan and Nellie A. Leonardson. Bobby was preceded in death by his parents and brothers: Richard B. Carroll and John D. Carroll. Per Bobby's request there will be two burials at sea. A memorial service is planned for March 9, 2013 at 10 a.m. at Knotts Island United Methodist Church, with a burial at sea to follow at William's Lodge. The Charleston Harbor burial at sea will be determined and announced at a later date. Online condolences may be made at www.carolinamemorial.com.

Children play baseball, hide and seek, run through the woods and have many adventures. We were in the cub scouts and boy scouts and all ways were partners. Thanks my friend for letting me be a part of that. Growing up and moving on we lost touch but never the memories. God bless you and your family.
