Jack Dean Carroll

My journey is not ending although I may have passed. My pain is no longer, as the good lord has taken it all away. I am no longer restricted as wings of an angel I now currently have.

As I make my way to the heavens know that I am at peace. I am riding on my tractor; with my rifle by my side, and animals are all around. Faint sounds of a casino I hear distant in the back ground.

No restrictions, No worries, all my happy places re-found.

I may not be physically present, but my spirit will always remain. Look for me in your memories and hold onto all the laugh.

Through the years of battling his cancer to now where he is finally at peace.

On behalf of Jack (Diana), we would like to thank everyone for their show of love, kindness, and support.
