Obituary

Hassan “Eddie” Edward Carroll, age 53 of Orlando, passed away on Sunday, August 30, 2020. He was born August 23, 1967 in Los Angeles, California, the son of the (pre-deceased) Robert Edward “Akeke” Carroll and Vicki Carroll (Living), and husband to Amanda Smith Carroll. He enjoyed a successful career in investment and corporate sales before relocating to Florida in 2006, where he started a new career as a Hair Stylist. He was drawn to people and had a unique ability to connect with others. Eddie was an active member at Calvary Orlando Church and often volunteered to serve breakfast to the needy before Sunday service. He was known and respected in the community for his work mentoring youth, coaching Little League baseball, and sharing the gospel. Eddie made a point to never meet a stranger. He had a huge heart and always thought of others and the adversity they were facing. He had an infectious laugh, a smile that could light up a room, and he never failed to remind his friends to stop being so serious. In his youth, he was an avid athlete. He enjoyed playing football, AYSO soccer, rugby, and baseball; his biggest passion. Eddie attended Blair High School in Pasadena, CA. where he was a Sports Editor of the High School paper. He attended Stanford University and graduated in 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. As a young adult, he even found time to learn how to play the bass guitar and was part of a rock band. To some, Eddie’s nickname was “Chopper” and to others “PosEnergy”.
