Micheal O'Carroll Obituary
Our precious son Micheal passed away August 19, 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Micheal was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and moved to Tennessee while serving in the military. He served proudly in the US Army and Navy and had served several deployments including to Iraq. Micheal was at his best when he was serving his country. Micheal loved to travel and was able to visit and live in many countries and states while serving his country.
Micheal is survived by his four children Jaden, Micheal Jr., Maddison, and Derrick, his mother Vickie Hitesman, step-father Kent Bickley, four siblings Kellie, Jamie, Josh, David, grand parents Dale and Mary Hitesman, Ida Bickley, and many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. We have a hole in our heart that will never be filled.
Son, we will miss you with all our hearts and look forward to the day we will be together again. We love you.
Viewing will be Friday, 10:30 - 11:00 am prior to services at Camp Williams 17800 S. Camp Williams Road. Bluffdale, Utah.

Putting words together on how much i miss you is so hard.
I may not have gotten to see you often, but your phone calls home always meant the world to me. Every day I just want a call home from you.
You are my big bother who only wanted the best for me and looked out for me even so far away.
I'm gonna keep carrying you around in my heart and on my arm.

Micheal it has been almost a year since you left us and my heart aches to have you here again. I miss you more than words can tell. I miss your wonderful laugh and that beautiful smile that made your face just shine. In my heart I know you are at peace free from the earthly pain so much a part of your life. I feel you near me but never close enough you left us much too soon there was still so many things we needed to do and so many things you needed to do and as hard as it is to except I know God must have needed you more. I can not tell you goodbye they are words I just can't say to you. My beautiful son I love you so very much, there isn't a day I don't have some thought of you. You are a priceless give God gave me to love and care for I had so much more love too give you so many more journeys to take with you. The world seems much more empty without you in it. I know I will see you again for that is God's plan but I will miss you everyday till then be at peace son I love you

To my love, I will forever be grateful to you for giving me our babies Mikey and Maddison. I cannot picture our lives without you! I miss you so much and feel so broken without you around. I miss your smile, your laugh, and your playful ways, and hearing you call me baby girl. I know how much you loved us but I just hope you knew how much we loved you. You may not be here in person but I know your an angel and looking out for us. I pray for the rest of the families to have peace in this time of pain. Mike, our babies and I will always love you and you will always be in our hearts! We will miss you until we can be together again <3

My brother did not enter my life until I was 11 years old. Now, only 16 years later, he left it. Children, especially his, meant so much to him. Whenever he called, his first question was, "how's my little champ?" It breaks my heart to know that I will never hear that question again. I wish I had called him more often just to tell him how much I loved him. I will love you always, Mike.

There are no words to express the sadness in my heart for those you left behind. I pray for peace in the hearts of your children, mother, brothers and sisters as you begin your next journey. You are loved Mike and will be missed.
