Steven Carroll

We are saddened to announce the passing of our husband, dad, and papa, Steven Paul Carroll.

Steve passed peacefully at his home in Montello, Nevada at age 69. Steve was born on October

3, 1956, in McCloud, California to Elliot Carroll and Cleta Radebaugh. Steve’s earliest years were

spent in Yreka and Santa Rosa California. In 1966 he moved to Atwater, California to live with his

grandparents Paul and Leona Radebaugh. Steve always had very found memories of living with

his grandparents. Later, even naming both of his children after them.

When Steve entered the work force, he worked in the garlic fields of California picking garlic by

hand. Later he would work in a chicken processing plant creating a lifelong distaste for chicken.

He also worked in a nursing home as an aid where his strength was a great asset. He later

started a lifetime career with the Southern Pacific Railroad where he worked as a Signal

Maintainer and later a Gang Boss. He worked for the Southern Pacific and later the Union Pacific

Railroad for almost 37 years. He met lots of lifelong friends during his time at the railroad.

In April 1985 Steve met the love of his life Leena Carroll. They got married shortly after meeting

on May 30, 1985. Steve and Leena were married one day shy of 41 years. In 1986 they

welcomed the birth of their daughter Courtney Leona and in 1987 welcomed the birth of their

son John Paul. Steve and Leena raised their family in Spring Creek, Nevada. Many camping trips

were had in the summers and many hunting trips were had in the fall.

In 2005, Steve welcomed his only grandchild Kayden Paul. Steve loved Kayden and was a

wonderful grandpa creating many lifelong memories with and for Kayden. In 2025 Steve was

able to watch Kayden marry his high school sweetheart, Rylie. This, along with so many other

events, were proud moments for Steve. Steve was proud of the family he and Leena created.

Steve will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
