Richard Anson Carroll

Rick was born on April 17, 1955, to Johnny A. Carroll, Jr., and Mary Catherine Perryman. Rick was the youngest of three children. Rick grew up in Missouri and graduated from Van Horn High School in Independence. After a short stint in the Air Force, he returned to Independence until he moved to San Antonio in the eighties where his mother, Mary McAdams, and sister, Diana Carroll, lived. During most of that time, he worked for a large appliance parts company until he retired in 2022.

Rick was predeceased by his brother Cecil, his father Johnny, and his grand-nephew Robbie. He is survived by his mom Mary, sister Diana, nephew John, nieces Andi and Erin, and his grand-nibblings Lindsey, Emilia, Ella, Conner, and Tyler. Rick was a long time member of the San Antonio Parrothead Club and enjoyed many trips to Key West and Port Aransas with the club.

Rick cared deeply for family and had an appreciation for nature and animals. He could often be found up early enough to admire the moon, before the sun came up, while out having a cigarette and letting the dogs out. After he retired, Rick enjoyed watching the wildlife in the backyard including squirrels, birds, raccoons, and occasionally others such as opossums, foxes, and housecats and tending to his cacti and succulents. He loved his pets including Clyde, Sadie, Mia, and Sierra and could often be found relaxing with dogs resting in his lap. He helped his sister take care of their mother.
