Jerry was born November 8, 1940 in Salina to James and Faye (Farlow) Carroll. He attended Milford Elementary and graduated from Center High School in Kansas City, Kansas. He enlisted in the US Navy for two years and returned to Milford where he married Sheryl (Harris) Johnson and had three children.
Jerry worked for over thirty years for Jim Clark Auto Center in sales and parts. He also spent many years as scoutmaster for troop 274 in Milford. He began when his son Jay was in elementary school and continued long after Jay earned the level of Eagle Scout. He was extremely proud when his grandson Chance also earned Eagle Scout in 2014. He mentored many young men through Boy Scouts and enjoyed taking his troop to camps. Their most memorable experience was a hiking trip to Philmont, New Mexico.
He is preceded in death by his parents and grandson Dillon Carroll Garrison.
Jerry leaves many memories of fun and laughter for the love of his life, Mary Sanders, son Jerry (Jay) Lee Carroll II of Manhattan, daughter Collette Field and husband Lee of Biloxi, Mississippi, Chrissi Winter and husband Warren of Fayetteville, North Carolina, daughter-in-law Charlene Henney of Junction City, grandchildren Adria and Zane Winter, Chance Henney, Alexa and Mason Welch Field, also Mary's daughters, who he loved so much, Susan, Kay, Carol and their families, and countless friends from Jim Clark's and Stacy's Restaurant.
Jerry had a passion for classic cars, gardening and cooking. He loved his family above all else and had a kind and generous heart. He will long be remembered for his sarcastic sense of humor by all who knew him.
