Shawn Michael Carroll, a beloved husband, father, son, and uncle, passed away on October 7, 2023, at the age of 74. He was born on April 4, 1949, in Toledo, Ohio, to Edgar and Jean Carroll. After spending his early years in Ohio, Shawn eventually made his way to Austin, Texas, and he found his true home in Arlington, Texas.

In his spare time, Mike was an avid sports fan, proudly supporting the Philadelphia Eagles, UT Longhorns, and Texas Rangers. He would eagerly gather with friends and family to cheer on his favorite teams, often adding a touch of friendly competition to the atmosphere.

Outside of the world of sports, Mike had a love for nature and enjoyed spending days alongside a fishing rod. Additionally, Mike had a knack for dancing and would effortlessly glide across the dance floor.

Mike will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His infectious smile, warm personality, and generous spirit will be cherished as his legacy. Though his physical presence may be gone, his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Preceded in death by his parents, brother, Matt Carroll and grandson Logan Farrell.

To honor his memory, friends and family will gather to share stories, reminisce, and support one another during this difficult time. Mike wanted a party. We will meet at J. Gilligans’ in Arlington on Friday, November 17, from 6:00 to 8:00pm.
