Douglas Carroll Obituary

CARROLL Douglas Michael Carroll, 47, of Ponte Vedra Beach, died peacefully on July 9, 2006. Born on October 16, 1958 in Melbourne, Florida, Doug was a graduate of Melbourne High School, where he proudly served as Jr. AFROTC Commander. Doug was also awarded the rank of Eagle Scout and earned his private pilot's license, following in his father's footsteps. Upon graduating from Troy University in 1981 with a degree in accounting, Doug began a distinguished career in the banking and mortgage industries. His years of service included time with Barnett Bank, Bank of America and most recently, with Aegis Funding Corporation, serving as a Regional Vice-President and a proud member of the company's Circle of Excellence. Doug's passions in life were his faith, family and friends. He was privileged to have served as an elder during his 15 year association with Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church. His gifts of leadership and outreach led him to years of service in many areas of ministry, but his heart's true calling was his work with the church's annual live nativity, “A Bethlehem Visit”, which continues to bring joy and hope to thousands of visitors each year. Doug's love for his family and friend was unconditional and generous beyond measure. He embraced life with an exuberance and gratitude that will continue to inspire us for years to come. Whether traveling to new and interesting destinations, manning the helm of his sailboat, or just spending time with family and friends, his laugh was contagious and his optimism boundless. He leaves for his adoring children a legacy of joy, integrity, and a desire to make the world a better place by serving others. The family wishes to express our special heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Alan Marks and Mrs. Karen Richardson of Regional Consultants in Hematology/Oncology; to the nursing staff of Tower 5 at Baptist Medical Center; to Dr. Gerardo Colon and Ms. Mary Lesperance at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville; to the staff of Community Hospice and to the many dear friends, neighbors and co-workers who have supported us through Doug's illness with visits, meals and notes of encouragement. Doug was recently honored to have been the inspiration for the first annual “Anglers for a Cure” charity fishing tournament. The AFC foundation and tournament were created by his son Jordan and friend Matt Hahnemann to raise money for the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance. In Doug's memory the tournament will continue to be held annually here in Jacksonville. Family members include Doug's loving wife of 22 years, Ralene; daughter Whitney and son Jordan; father, Jim Carroll; brother, David (Beth), sister, Julia Cameron (Rick), Father-in-law, Ray Crickenberger; sister-in-law, Carol O'Cain (Steve); niece, Halie Cameron; nephews Nate Cameron, Samuel O'Cain and Daniel O'Cain; and goddaughter, Camille Wright. Doug was predeceased by his mother, Ann, in 1996. The family will receive friends from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Friday, July 14th in the chapel of Quinn-Shalz, a Family Funeral Home. A service of thanksgiving for Doug's life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 15th at the Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church, 4510 Palm Valley Road, Ponte Vedra Beach, with the Reverend Richard Cooper officiating. A reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall. Donations in Doug's memory may be made to Anglers for a Cure, Inc., 226-5 Solana Road, Suite 172, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082, to Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church c/o “ A Bethlehem Visit”, or to Community Hospice. We take comfort in the knowledge that our precious husband and father rests safely in the loving arms of our Saviour, now and forever.

I worked as an inside loan officer for Aegis in 2004 and was lucky to have met Doug. He was such a positive, outgoing person. It was impossible not to smile while approaching Doug. Such a good person. God bless.

I will never forget Doug taking the time to cheer me up during my illness when he was fighting his own personal battles. He inspired me during my time of need. Doug will sorely be missed by all who were privileged to know him.

Few people in a lifetime leave the footprint that Doug Carroll leaves. A work associate, his overwhelming joy for life, optimism, and positive attitude was such that he was a person that inspired you to want to be better. I last saw Doug at Circle of Excellence in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in February of 2006, as I only might see him once a year, we had some catching up to do. I shared a comical experience of my husband's recent walk down the aisle with our only daughter (and only child), he listened intently and with a twinkle in his eye. We talked about how hard it is when our children grow up and move away. He said "I don't want to let my little girl go, but when that day comes, I will be honored and proud to take that walk with her" He spoke like it didn't matter if it would be next year or 10 years from now, he would be taking that walk. That was Doug, so optimistic. So it seems we take so many of these life events for granted, but indeed they are gifts, precious gifts. So here's to you Doug - you have given the most precious gift there is, to your family, your strength, courage, optimism, and love and no-one can take that away from them and we are all better people for having known you. I know that sometime when perhaps life gets us down, we will feel your presence, if only to get behind us and give us a nudge forward. God Bless you and your family. With much love and respect,

Ralene, Whitney, and Jordan...

We were all so blessed to know your wonderful husband and dad, Doug. His life was filled with happiness and joy, and it was contagious. No matter how he was doing, he just loved life. We could tell that the most important thing to him was his family and his strong faith and values. Doug had an amazing gift for sharing his happiness and thankfulness, and he could write a book on raising wonderful children. I'm so glad he touched our lives as a neighbor & friend. His wonderful life lessons will live long after his short time with us. Tonight I think he's saying "Don't miss me too much. The view up here is nice, and I'm doing just fine"

To Doug's family,



I knew Doug in high school and even then you just knew there was something special in him. Doug was always kind and helpful. He was a great friend. Doug always had a positive outlook on life. I can see that his family learned from his example and what a testament that is to him.



You are in my thoughts and prayers.

It is important that we remember why we were placed here. God has placed within all of us a destiny even before the world was framed. We have been chosen to be lights that shine for our Lord. No light has shined brighter throughout Aegis Funding, than the light of the Lord through Doug Carroll. The bible charges us to, "go ye therefore and to teach all nations." Doug has taught me the meaning of humility, strength, courage, sacrifice, and most of all, how to let go and let God. He was truly an inspiration from my first meeting with him until the final farewell. I sincerely believe he was properly groomed and ready to meet our savior. I can almost hear God saying to Doug, "WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT."



I praise and thank God for allowing me the opportunity to know Doug Carroll and would ask that all who read this message to either start, or continue their walk with God in order to be received by God, and to see our dear brother once again.

(Romans 10)



Much Love,

Doug was just a wonderful person, always smiling and such a pleasure to be around. I see so much of him in his two beautiful children, Whitney and Jordan. And, I will always remember fondly his love of cars! You may have only had a 2 car garage, but that didn't stop him from having a new toy around!!! My prayers go out to Ralene, my AoPI sorority sister and neighbor, and to Whitney and Jordan. Love, Linda, John & Taylor Fleming

A great man, a great friend and a great inspiration to so many... Doug was always positive, upbeat and ready to lend a helping hand... Doug we will miss you. Raelene, Whitney and Jordan, Doug's spirit will live on in all of us. And I am sure he will man the light house until we all meet again. Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family.

When you talk about one of the good guys you talk about Doug. It was a great experience knowing him.

Natalie Glennen

July 13, 2006

It has been said that our time on earth is the small dash between our birth date and our death date. Doug's dash may have been short in length of time but long in the amount of lives he touched and loved. I am so touched to read an entry from his son Jordan and how proud he was of the family his dad and mom raised. What a great tribute to a man that adored his family. I worked with Doug and saw him two times a year. When I last saw Doug at the Feb 2006 Circle of Excellence trip in Cabo, I believed it would be the last time I hugged him. I am so grateful to have shared time with Doug. I hope that Ralene, Whitney, Jordan and family can find some comfort in the loving memories of a great man and to know so many people loved his positive energy and big smile.

Tricia Hudson

July 13, 2006

What a pleasure it was to work with Doug personally. He was a person of great enthusiasm and whenever he would come to Houston he would just add that great burst of excitement into the office. I am most thankful that I got to see Doug again by coming to work for Aegis in Florida. Doug will always remain a sweet memory in my heart and mind and will be missed deeply. We all can now rejoice for Doug is in a much better place with no more pain, sickness, nor sorrow. My prayers go out to the family. My God continue to bless you all.

Hi Dad,

We all miss you so much. It's just not the same without you here. I know you're having a wonderful time in heaven with your Father. We've been looking through pictures of you, and telling funny stories about you. I miss your laugh everyday, and your hugs. Your blue leather chair is empty without you sitting in it, but I know you have even a better one in heaven. I love you so much Daddy, and I am going to live everyday for you. C-ya soon.

Dearest Ralene, Whitney and Jordan,

When I met Doug with you Ralene, I liked him and thought now here is someone that deserves this incredible woman. As a husband and then father, he was the ultimate rolemodel. He was so warm and his positive attitude was contagious. I liked that he sat and talked with us, not off doing his thing. He liked people and wanted them to know it. He waits for us in that place God had prepared. Jesus precious blood was shed that we as believers might have this eternal life. Doug is receiving this free gift. I am so sorry for your loss and will enjoy sharing memories of him often.

love, Brenda Greer

To my Brother:



Over the last several years we did not get many opportunities to just hang out and talk, but every time we did it was just like we had never had been apart. All the times we did get together, I so much enjoyed our deep laughter and the memories we shared. Though we got to cut up and have such great times together I really never got the chance to tell you how much impact you had on my life. You know how I was growing up, I had to learn everything the hard way. You were so passionate about everything you did that it finally rubbed off on me. I credit you for helping me grow up and realize that there is more to life than just having fun. I will never forget what I have learned from you and will always cherish the time we had together.



See you later in Heaven. Say Hi to Mom.



Love, Dave (your little brother)

Jordan,

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your father. May the Lord keep you close during these trying times. You are a true inspiration to other young people going through difficult times. The "Anglers for a Cure” charity fishing tournament is an awesome tribute to your father. It takes a special person to take sadness and grief and turn it into something as positive as you have. Your charity will make a difference Jordan. God Bless you and your family.



Fondly,

As a father, he has inspired me to always put family first. Thank you Doug for all the blessings you have given us. In admiration and deep sorrow- we all love you..

Rodney Steele

I met Doug in Cabo last year and had worked with him in the past with accounts, and I never met a nicer, kinder, or more helpful guy. I started to watch how he got results with his style and how people loved him and I must admit I loved him as well. His life and his career are something we all should aspire to. I know his family meant the world to him and I know that everyday he demonstarted what a man should be. I offer my thoughts and prayers to his family and hope a little bit of him rubbed off on me. I will miss you buddy.

Doug Carroll will remain in my thoughts for the rest of my life. In our world if you have the opportunity to meet a person such as Doug you truly should consider yourself blessed. I admire Doug for many reason, he was an incredible RVP, his ability to manage his AE’s regardless of his trying situation, truly amazed me. Doug faced each day with a tremendous amount of determination, dedication and desire to make a difference no matter what he was facing and always with a smile on his face. I will always speak of Doug with kind words as he so many times would do the same for many people. He is a true inspiration for me and he has made a difference in my ever day thinking. I will speak of Doug in my everyday lesson in life, as I have never met a person who had such a positive attitude and a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and passion to be the best at all that he did. I will miss Doug tremendously but I have many memories that I will share with my friend’s family and employees which will bring us a wealth of happiness. Thanks Doug you’re the best!!

Casey Johnson

July 11, 2006

I once asked Doug how he had managed to raise a teenage son who stayed out of trouble. He did not offer any fatherly advice or boast of any keen parenting skills, but rather he praised his son for wanting to spend time with HIM on their boat. His children had obviously made a huge impression on him and, from the words written in his obituary, it is very obvious that HE made an unforgettable impression on many people as well.

Jordan Carroll

Dad I miss you a lot. My best friend and fishing partner. We may not know why God took you away from us but someday we will, I know there is a reason behind all of this.Every morning when I get up I will always remeber your smiling face and know that today is a new day, so make the best of it.
