Amarillo

Stephen Dale Carroll

Stephen Dale Carroll, 61, of Amarillo died Friday, Aug. 5, 2005.

Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Sunday in Schooler Funeral Home Brentwood
Chapel, 4100 S. Georgia St., with the Rev. Robert Field officiating.

Mr. Carroll was born in Rock Island, Ill., to Jackson Vernon and Mary Ann
Carroll on Nov. 14, 1943. He served in the Air Force. Mr. Vernon moved to
Amarillo in 1960. He was employed by Frank's Repair Plumbing as a HVAC
technician. He married Melody "Murphy" Whisenhunt in Amarillo on Aug. 12,
2002. Mr. Carroll was a smooth dancer and swept his wife off her feet more
than once.

When he wasn't fishing, he enjoyed a good poker or gin game with a pot of
coffee close at hand. Although he appeared to be a rough "ole grouch" on the
outside, he was the most generous man you could ever meet, offering assistance
to anyone that needed it. The family would like to extend a special
appreciation to the owners and staff of Frank's Plumbing for all their
support. Another note of thanks to all of Stephen's friends and family.

He was preceded in death by his father.

Survivors include his wife; a daughter, Treiva Daniels and husband, Marvin, of
Amarillo; two sons, Vernon Carroll of Fort Worth and Thomas Carroll of
Amarillo; his mother, Mary Ann Carroll of North Dakota; three sisters, Joyce,
Susan and Judy, all of North Dakota; a brother, Michael of North Dakota; two
stepsons, James Whisenhunt and wife, Christi, of Kilgore and Daniel Whisenhunt
of Amarillo; and a stepgrandson, Jonathan Whisenhunt of Kilgore.
