William Robert Carroll, affectionately known as Billy, passed away at his home in Dothan, Alabama, on Monday, November 9, 2026, at the age of 51. He was born on November 4, 1975, in Biloxi, Mississippi, to Robert Carroll and Sharon Carroll.

Billy was a man with a personality all his own. Smart, funny, and full of energy, he had a way of making people enjoy being around him. He found happiness in the things he loved, including cars, car stereos, cooking, and spending time on the farm. He worked as a ranch hand, but according to Billy, he was a “Cowboy.” He especially enjoyed working with the cows and tending to the calves. He also enjoyed drawing and had a love for reading the Bible, particularly the Book of Job.

Billy lived life in his own way, bringing laughter, conversation, and his own special personality to those around him. He will be remembered for his humor, his interests, and the memories shared with family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Sharon Carroll; niece, Reagan Brewer; and cousin, Jarred Carroll.

Those left to cherish his memory include his father, Robert Carroll; sisters, Carolyn Schildgen and Christine “Teenie” Affan (Sean); nephews, Mack Carroll (Lilly) and Ryan Schildgen; great-nieces and great-nephews, Beau, Ashley, and Charlie Carroll; along with several other family members and special friends.

Keeping with Billy’s wishes, no services are scheduled at this time.
