Frank R Carroll

“If I die tomorrow,  just know I had a good time!”

Frank R. Carroll, age 66, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Newbury, Ohio, Tuesday June 25th, 2024.

     The Carroll namesake was born to Phyllis (nee Czerr) and Frank M. Carroll on February 4th, 1958 at the Corey Hospital in the village of Chardon. 

     Frankie’s childhood was spent working hard and playing mischievously on the family farm in Munson Township, Ohio on Sherman Rd. Almost his entire life was spent in Geauga County, where he made and kept many friends and was never too far from family. 

  He held a couple different jobs when his children were young, then followed his uncles into the trade of house painting. Eventually starting his own painting business. He was a long-standing member of The Ohio Bottle Club and his favorite pastime was bottle digging – the hobby of researching, finding, and digging up antique glass bottles that have been buried for over a century. There isn’t a field, patch of woods or river’s edge, anywhere in this area, that he didn’t hike in search of a dig. In addition to bottles, he also collected antiques and other cool stuff he found at auctions, garage sales or even dumpster diving.
     Frankie was a bit eccentric, incredibly kind, and a thoughtful man. He faced many trials and tribulations throughout his life but made the best of each day. Never missing a special family occasion, whether it be a holiday, reunion, birthday or just a beautiful day for a picnic. 
   In the past few years he was sure to spend time a couple days a week with his mother; going for walks in the park, frequenting garage sales, playing BINGO at the senior center, enjoying time together, and making cherished memories.
   Frankie is survived by and was so proud of his two sons and their families; Frank W. & Robin Carroll (nee Gordon), Frankie G. and Addie of Highland Heights. 
Matt & Shonna (nee Banholzer) Carroll, Soaran and Willow of Brunswick. 
His grandchildren were the greatest love & joy of his life. 
   Also survived by his Mother, Phyllis Carroll (nee Czerr) of Chagrin Falls. His siblings; Teri Nemeth (nee Carroll) of Bainbridge, Tim Carroll (Melinda) of Mentor and his little sister, Kathy Carroll-Lawrence of Chagrin Falls. 
Nephews and Niece;  Brian Carroll (Alejanera), Robby Worrell (Melissa), Joey Jacobs,  Zoey Nemeth (Brett Lonjak), Mike Nemeth (Logan), John Storaasli (Ellie) and Mickey Lawrence.
Grand Nieces and Grand Nephews; Lexi and Lily Carroll, Robby and Elayna Worrell, Lena Lonjak, Remington Storaasli and Arthur Nemeth. 
As well as, Auntie Norma Bossman of Willowick, Auntie Janet Surckla of Newbury, All of His Cousins and their Families.  Especially Kenny Czerr, not only a Cousin, but a Best Friend. 
   Those who have passed on before Frankie, all tragically lost too soon; his father, Frank M. Carroll of Painesville. Nephews; Nick Nemeth of Bainbridge and TK Carroll of Mentor.
