David Randall Carroll of Bay City, TX was born February 18, 1947 in Velasco, TX to his loving parents, Lois Lusk Cummings and Ebbie B. Cummings. He was called to his Heavenly home July 23, 2019 at the age of 72.

David graduated from Van Vleck High School in 1967, and Wharton County Junior College in 1971. He retired from Celanese Chemical Plant in August of 2010 after 37 years of working in Operations.

David always felt that the Lord was calling him to help others in their time of need. One of the ministries he loved was the Harvest House Food Pantry. He loved seeing all the people that came on Wednesdays. When David retired, he was blessed to be able to volunteer all of his free time at the Harvest House, and to serve and feed the hungry in our community and Matagorda County.

David is preceded in death by his parents; mothers-in-law Ann Sciba and Dorothy Cartwright; father-in-law Mack Cartwright; niece Diana Cartwright, and brother-in-law Ted Grantham.
