Tyler Carroll


(From Ozark Funeral Home)

Mr. Tyler Easton Carroll, 32, of Springfield, Missouri ,departed this life suddenly on Saturday, April 17, 2021, while in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Tyler entered this life on October 6, 1988, in Little Rock, Arkansas, born to the union of Thomas William, II and Ellen Adele (Cooper) Carroll. His formative years were spent in Monett , Missouri. He was a 2006 graduate of Pittsburg High School in Pittsburg, Kansas. 









Tyler was extremely intelligent. He furthered his education by attending Labette Community College in Parsons, Kansas, graduated top of his class from Missouri Welding Institute in Nevada, Missouri, and in 2008, he earned his finance degree from Pittsburg State University in 2016; with distinction of being on the Dean’s List every semester.

Tyler was a well traveled and articulately spoken man of many interests and talents. He started playing the electric guitar at the age of 10, and by 16 had become a master of the instrument. Musically, he possessed an innate ability to transfer his heart and mind into beautiful and powerful string arrangements, all the while remaining humble and willing to give tips and advice to other aspiring musicians.

Tyler was, professionally, a very accredited and successful journeyman pipe welder, who operated out of the UA local 178 pipe fitter trades union based in his hometown of Springfield Mo. He traveled all over the United States taking high profile jobs that required both military and nuclear clearances. Simply put, he was the best of the best in his trade.

He enjoyed reading about philosophy, history, and was a KC Chiefs fan to the core, but most of all enjoyed spending time with family. His three young nephews were very close to him and he devoted a lot of effort and time investing in their success and self esteem, all the while having a blast doing so. Tyler’s warm heart and generosity will never be forgotten. If you knew Tyler, you loved him, and you knew that he loved you too.








He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Mark Cooper and his paternal grandparents, Dr. Thomas and Vee Carroll.

Tyler is survived by his parents, Ellen Dhooghe and husband, David, of Parsons, Kansas and Tom Carroll and wife, Marian, of Pittsburg, Kansas; a brother, Adam Carroll and wife, Sheena, of Springfield, Missouri; three nephews, Carter, Easton and Tanner Carroll; maternal grandmother, Fern Cooper of Monett, Missouri; three aunts, Connie Curbow and husband, Kelly, of Monett, Terri Cooper of Monett and Candi Carroll of Lamar, Missouri; a cousin Cami Kasterke of Owasso, Oklahoma; as well as a host of other family and friends.

Funeral services will be held privately in Anderson , Missouri , with Billy Pratt officiating. Burial will follow in the Peace Valley Cemetery with Levi Buckhannan, Drew Norris, Fatlume Osmani, Marcus Pratt, Travis Pratt and Lester Kasterke serving as pallbearers. A Celebration of Life will be held in Monett , Missouri with date and time still to be determined. On-line condolences may be sent to the family through our website, www.ozarkfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are under the personal care and direction of the Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson , Missouri.
