Matthew Carroll, known as "Matty", our beloved son went to his heavenly home on March 13, 2015. Born on May 21, 1997, he was a junior attending Kaleidoscope School. He was an avid outdoorsman and aspiring botanist. He is survived by parents Greg and Charnett Carroll, sisters, Eva Godbey, Julie Reed and Maegan Carroll, grandparents Ken and Miriam Carroll, nephews Reese Phillips and Benjamin Reed, niece, Amelia Reed and dogs, Penney and Dixie. He is further survived by family including Larry and Kim Carroll and their children, Keith, Scott and Katie Carroll. He also had many family members who loved him in Georgia. He was a light that burned so brightly, even in his absence the afterglow of his presence still remains. The Family will receive friends at Wilson Funeral Home on Wednesday, March 18 from 1 to 2 p.m. for a viewing prior to funeral services that will begin at 2 p.m. Interment will follow at Evergreen Memorial Gardens. His family requests that in lieu of flowers and because of Matthew's love for animals, donations be sent to Spay Bay and Kritter Inc. Wildlife Sanctuary. We will forever miss you Matty but will hold you in our hearts until we meet again.
