Mr. Luther David Carroll, known to many as David Carroll, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at the age of 85 in Lafayette Healthcare Center. Born in Summerville, Georgia, on January 20, 1941, David was the cherished son of the late Elzie Carroll and Reva Lingerfelt Hunter.
David’s life was marked by a strong dedication to his community and his country. He served honorably as a veteran of the United States Army, answering the call to duty with courage and integrity. Upon returning home, he continued his service to others through a long and rewarding career at the City of Summerville, where he retired as Superintendent of the Gas Department. David’s entrepreneurial spirit also shone through his many years as the owner and operator of the TV Man, where he was known for his work ethic and his friendly, helpful manner.
An active and devoted member of his community, David held a lifelong commitment to the values and fellowship of the Masonic fraternity. He was a proud member of Alpine Masonic Lodge #211 in Menlo, as well as the Yaarab Shrine Temple in Atlanta. David advanced to the prestigious rank of 32nd Degree Mason in the Scottish Rite, a testament to his dedication and service.
Beyond his professional and community endeavors, David was a man of many passions. He found peace and joy in the outdoors, especially when fishing or deer hunting, and took solace in reading his Bible. These simple pleasures enriched his life and brought him closer to those he loved.
David was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife Dorothy Pauline “Dot” Carroll, and his son Phillip Anthony “Tony” Carroll.
He is lovingly remembered and survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Adam and Dasha Carroll; his half-brother, Tim Hunter; his daughter-in-law, Lynda Carroll; grandchildren Taylor (Landon) Barrett and Gabbi (Daniel) Gray; great-grandchildren Collins Barrett and Colbie Gray; as well as a number of nieces, nephews, and additional family members who will hold his memory dearly.
The impact of David’s steadfast spirit, generosity, and devotion to family and community will be felt for generations. His legacy lives on in the values he imparted to his children and grandchildren, in the friendships he fostered, and in the lives he touched.
