Mr. Wesley Curtis Carroll of Savannah, Ga, age 70, died Monday, December 31, 2012, at St. Joseph's Hospital, with both of his daughters by his side.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Ray Carroll and Madge Lee Fludd Carroll.

He is also survived by a brother and sister-in-law, Raymond and Jean Carroll, of Germantown, TN; a sister, Debbie Miller, of NC; several nieces and nephews; and his life-long dearest friend, Eddie Harper, of Edgewater, Fl.

We would be honored to have Curtis' friends and family come, dressed casually, ready to share their favorite memories, and prepared to send him on his new pain-free journey with love and laughter.
