Charles Carroll
Charles Patrick "Pat" Carroll, 77, of Atwood, went to meet the Lord Jesus on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at Rawlins County Health Center in Atwood, Kansas. He was born September 17, 1941 to Charles Miles Carroll and Angela "Violet" Meloragno-Lombardi in Denver, Colorado.
Pat attended Mount Carmel Catholic School in Denver where he was a three sport athlete, who excelled in football as a linebacker and baseball as a catcher. He also sang in a band, the Rivieras, who earned an invitation to American Bandstand. Pat graduated in 1959 and later joined the Marine Reserves, where he set a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) target shooting record in basic training while stationed in San Diego.
In April 1961, he met the love of his life, Magdalene "Madge" Horinek on a blind date. They wed in October of that same year. To this blessed union were born seven children.
Pat truly loved sports throughout his lifetime, playing years of both fast-pitch and, later slow-pitch softball well into his sixties. He was the award-winning sportswriter of "Dago's Sports Shots" for the Citizen Patriot/Rawlins County Square Deal for over 40 years, covering his beloved Atwood/Rawlins County Buffaloes for the entirety of his career. He was also a well-respected and accomplished District Magistrate Judge for over 20 years, lauded by all for his fairness and understanding.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Madge, of the home; daughter Gina (Ron) Montgomery of Jennings; sons, Craig (Jackie) of Colby; Rodney of Atwood; Christopher (Nicki) of Colby; Tim of Dodge City; Roman (Katrina) of Goodland; brothers Billy (MaryAnn) Lombardi, Jeff (Sandy) Carroll all of Denver and Miles (Ruth) Carroll of Yuma, AZ; 14 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren (plus one on the way), and many other relatives and friends.
Pat was preceded in death by his parents and step-parents, his son Keith, sister Kathy, brother Gary, grandparents, wife's parents and five brothers-in-law.
