CARROLL: Richard ‘Richie’
Posted By On March 22, 2026 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 9 Comments
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard Carroll a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who passed away on March 22, 2026. He leaves behind his beloved wife Darlene. His beloved children Kevin Delaney, Natasha Carroll, and Rj Carroll. Proud grandfather to Carter, Kylie, Brooklyn, and Bryson. He will be lovingly missed by his siblings Glen, Lori, Bernie, and Troy. Lovingly remembered by his mother Theresa. He will be missed by many other friends and family. Richard is predeceased by his father Richard and brother Darren.
Richard was truly one of a kind—a man with the kindest soul, always willing to give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He lived his life with generosity, strength, and an unwavering love for his family.
A skilled welder by trade and a hardworking man, he took great pride in his work and was known for his strong work ethic. He was tough and rough around the edges, but those who knew him best knew his heart was incredibly soft and full of love.
He had a deep passion for cars and always made sure he had the best of them, something that brought him pride and joy over the years.
Above all else, his greatest love was his family—but especially his beloved wife, Darlene, the love of his life. She was his whole heart, the queen of his world, and the one he cherished deeply every single day. Their love was something truly special and will forever be remembered by all who knew them.
He adored his children and grandchildren, who meant everything to him. His love, guidance, and presence will be deeply missed but forever carried in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Though he may be gone, his memory, his love, and the lessons he taught will live on forever.

Condolences for the family of “CARROLL: Richard ‘Richie’”
Darlene, Kevin, Natasha & RJ
I was devastated at hearing the news of Rich’s passing. Even though he was a friend, I hadn’t seen him in at least fifteen years. Please accept my deepest sympathies. I must say that you wrote a beautiful tribute to his memory and he will be missed by many.
One of the things I do in my retirement is to help our with the Budd Retirees. I do writeups on various things for our Facebook site. One of those things is to notify our members when we lose a Brother or Sister. I have already published Rich’s obituary to our Facebook site and through email. Typically, our members respond in the FB comments and share memories of friends who have passed away. I know Rich had a lot of friends in the plant who will share their condolences and memories. Please feel free to go to that site and have a look. It may bring you some comfort. It is called Former Employees and Friends of Budd Canada/Kitchener Frame. I hope all of you get through this okay.
