James DuBois “Dub” Carroll, 80, passed away peacefully on April 27, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Dub was a devoted husband, loving parent, and proud grandparent whose life was defined by kindness, generosity, and unwavering faith. A simple man with a giving heart, he was the kind of person who would offer his jacket to someone in the cold or a meal to anyone in need. His quiet compassion and selflessness left a lasting impact on all who knew him.

A passionate follower of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Dub found great joy in sharing his faith and teaching others about the goodness and grace of God. His life was a testament to the values he believed in, and he lived each day striving to reflect that light to others.

Dub spent most of his career as an insurance agent, where he built more than just a client base—he built relationships. Those he worked with quickly learned they could depend on him not only for guidance, but for genuine friendship and care.

Having been a part of his community for 80 years, Dub rarely met a stranger. His presence was familiar and comforting, and his absence will be deeply felt by many.

In his free time, Dub enjoyed playing rounds of golf, taking long trips to the beach, and actively participating in his local church. These simple joys, shared with those he loved, brought him great happiness.

Dub was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Carol J. Carroll; his parents, J.D. and Drexal Carroll; his son, John D. Carroll “Mutt”; and his grandson, Jeremiah D. Carroll.

He is survived by his brother, Deryl Carroll; his son, Jeffrey D. Carroll (Lisa); his grandson, Joshua D. Carroll (Ashby); and his great-grandson, Jahnas D. Carroll.

Though his body grew weary with time, his spirit remains eternal. The Lord has called him home, and we rejoice in knowing he is reunited with loved ones in the Kingdom of God. What a glorious celebration it must be—Hallelujah!

Dub will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all whose lives he touched with love, kindness, and faith.

Visitation will be held on Friday, May 1st, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Jackson Way Baptist Church, with a funeral service immediately following at 12:00 PM. Burial will take place at Maple Hill Cemetery.
