Daniel (Danny) Eugene Carroll, 63, of rural LaMonte, MO, passed away Sunday, January 4th, 2025.

Danny was born on May 17th, 1962, to Clarence and Veletta Carroll. Danny grew up in LaMonte Missouri and was a star athlete at LaMonte R-IV where he graduated in 1975.

Danny worked many years at Sedalia Veterinary Center alongside his brother, Jim, as a large animal vet assistant. Later Danny took on numerous roles in the Agricultural service business at Jones Brother's Agri Service in LaMonte up until his death. Danny was also a farmer, caring for cattle early on and then switching to row crops later in life. When he wasn't working, Danny enjoyed all things outdoors especially hunting, fishing, and camping. Danny also enjoyed being a PopPop and sharing his love of the outdoors with his granddaughters.

Danny loved life. His love for life and adventure started at an early age with memorable family trips all over the states. However, his most treasured memories were those he made here in the community of LaMonte. From being heavily involved with JC's Big Buck Club to opening up his own bar, Danny's Place, he always surrounded himself with community. In 1987 Danny established the Crystal Springs Big Buck Contest, where not only countless memories were made, but also lifelong friendships were gained. Danny did not know a stranger and was generous to a fault. To know him was to love him and he was loved by many.

Danny is survived by his wife, Angie; daughter & son-in-law, Kaylee & Travis Warner (Clara, Elaine, & Josephine); a sister, Pat (Robert White); three brothers, Jim, Chuck (Diana), and Mark; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Clarence, his mother Valetta, and a dear friend, Bill Barr.

A celebration of life gathering with family and friends is being planned for a later date.
