He was born in Dilley, Texas on November 12, 1956 to William E. and Shirley Folsom Carroll.

Hank coached many baseball teams and mentored young athletes over the years. He especially enjoyed watching his nephews and niece with their athletic endeavors. Hank was a fantastic cook and enjoyed cooking for his close group of friends. He also loved to travel especially to Santa Fe which became almost a second home to him in recent years.

Hank was a cherished big brother and uncle who showed his family unconditional love and support. He loved and was loved by his numerous wonderful friends. Hank was a good country boy that grew up on a ranch in South Texas with a legendary cowboy dad and a mom that loved him dearly.
