Matt Carroll, You will be missed. Love you man...

Matthew Carrol has gone to be with Jesus this morning August, 30th. 2018. He passed peacefully under hospice care.

Thank you for being there for me, Matt. You where always so helpful to many. We will meet again someday my friend. RIP

One of the great ones.

Rest in peace

Crappie fishing will be good everyday.

He's catching three pound fish and watching the Longhorns as we speak.

Very sad will be missed. Praying for family

He will be missed for sure! He was a great guy, and you knew it the second you met him. Always doing for others. Rest In Peace Matt!!! He gave me the awesome opportunity to fish with Wally Marshall for a whole day at the Lake Palestine G2G. I will never forget that day.

Net Girl, myself and all of your friends still here will miss you Matthew. We will see you again. We know where you went. Save us a seat please.

RIP Mr.Jiggum....I bought my first hand ties from you, and ill put my last halo magic up in in your memory...

I can't wait to see you again. Tie me some jigs my friend. Love you more than you will ever know.

RIP Mr. Carroll, I still have some of the best hand ties made. I will use them with honor!!!!

A huge man with a huge heart, who was a champion for JESUS. Truly made this world a better place, glad to have known him. May God bless and comfort his family.

Rest in peace Mr. Carroll. Condolences to the family.

Matt was a true friend to all. I was truly blessed to know him.

Great man !!! RIP Jigum .. we lost a great one !!

Never had the privileged to meet Matt. Spoke with him several times over the phone. Also used his Jigs a bunch over the years! "Jigum Jigs Catch Fish"! The good Lord has one more SUPER fishing buddy to fish with! Prayers for his family and friends!

RIP JIGUM. I love you bud. Learned a lot from you and I will miss you.

RIP Matthew.

I still remember fishing with you and Ernest Paty. The highlight of my 50+ years of crappie fishing. Only thing better would be fishing with my dad one more time.

What a good person he was for sure always wanting to help others. He taught me a lot about tying jigs, and we had a lot of fun chasing the thump, and making memories together. He was a very close and dear friend of mine and will be missed. Like I told you on Wednesday Jigum when we visited its not good bye, its see you later my friend. RIP Jigum

Matthew always helped me when I started tying jigs and you could tell he was a genuine person. Glad I was able to cross paths with him.

RIP Sir.

Jigum was one of the GREATS!
Always willing to help a person in need

Had the honor of putting him on fish a couple of times and bust a gut laughing





RIP Matthew.......save me a few on that big BP

Had the honor of meeting and knowing Matthew after he moved to the Austin area. Enjoyed the time we spent together over the last year and a half. Had some good laughs eating biscuits and gravy at Ross' Old Austin Cafe. Proud to be able to call him a friend. I have been blessed knowing you and will miss you Matthew.

RIP Jigum better guy than I will ever be, his fight is over, but his will lives within us, fish on

He will be missed. Prayers for his family.

Matthew was a good and honest man. Made lots of jigs for me a few years back.
Praying for all of his family. He will surely be missed.

True Legend! RIP Sir!

I truly loved that man, the world lost a gentle giant. Anyone know when the funeral will be?

God's gain and our loss. But Matt, we're so happy that you have the best fishing hole ever.

Brian, I read on Matts FB page where his wishes were to be cremated and spread about his favorite fishing lake.
No services are scheduled.

Rest In Peace Matthew, you will be missed

He was a really good man. Prayers for his family.

RIP Matthew.The world was a better place because of you and Those World Class Jigs that came from your hands. You`ll be missed.

Sad to hear this. Prayers go out to friends and family.

RIP jiggum!

I was a bass fisherman when I met Matt. I ask him for some advice about crappie fishing. The conversation lasted over 3 hours. I could not believe that a man I had never met would share so much knowledge. I still have some of his jigs. None better. There are few men that you just cannot say anything bad about. Matt was one of the few. The world is a lesser place. RIP Matt.

Praying for the family.

Very sad to hear the news....prayers to his family and friends.

R.I.P. Jig'um....

Like many others, I too liked Matt. Prayers for his family during these times.

Did not know him. But, judging from the posts he was a fine individual. May our Almighty Father provide his family and friends with comfort, peace and understanding. And, may all his heavenly thumps result is solid hooksets in the roof of the mouth. Rest In Peace, Sir.

Only met you once, but it was a great meeting. My life has been enriched having met and visited with you.

Later on we should hold a tournament in his honor . Im sure he will be there in spirit, Matt was always game.

RIP Mr. Carroll

I never met him but I felt I knew him from all the posts he made.

He helped me with advice about getting started tying as a hobby.

Condolences.

Matt was a great guy! He will be greatly missed.

We have to do something. Maybe a tourney that all proceeds go to a kids fishing program? Something.

RIP Matthew. Prayers out to his family.

I did not know Mr.Carroll but always seem like a genuine person and obviously very much loved. Prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Mathew

Rest in peace Matthew.

RIP Mr Carroll. Thanks for all you've done for the crappie fishing world!

It is a sad time when we loose a guy like Matthew! Last time I got to talk to Matthew was several weeks ago and he was calling to help another guy which is the way he was. We spoke over the years a good bit and he was always a really nice good man!

RIP Matthew!

I hope when my time comes I have the strength to face it with as much grace, dignity and selflessness as Matthew did. He was, and will remain, a true inspiration to me and my family.

My condolences to the family and his friends

Well as the Christian knows we mourn knowing that we will meet again, I never met him on Earth so I will see him in Heaven. I did talk to him when ordering jigs he made and he was very helpful and just a great guy.

My condolences to his friends and family.

Matt was a great man, excellent fisherman, and made me plenty of quality jigs!
Was hoping he would get well enough to fish with me again on Lake Somerville.
Last time we fished together was Lake Granger. Matt was not doing well at that time either, but he pushed himself to go even though he had to bring along his oxygen bottle.
We had a blast that day and I was happy that Matt was able to fish.
We talked about fishing Somerville, but sadly Matt never got well enough to make the trip.
Will catch up with ya Matt @ Lake Heaven!

Prayers for Jiggum and his family. I bought my first crappie jigs from him. It was always neat to see what samples he put in the orders. RIP

How tall was Matt?

At least 8' tall.

I know that all crappie were small in his hands.

RIP Matt

AMEN...

Fishing, talking, learning from Matthew has made my life fuller and more complete. I will never forget the Day Matthew called me and immediately asked to speak to Rachel (my daughter). He had heard that she out fished her dad on her first time fishing with his Jigs. He had three questions...1) could he post a photo of her on his website; 2) could he send her some more Jigs; and 3) could she give her dad a hug for him...

Some people survive their passing and remain as an inspiration to us as we continue our lives...Matthew Carroll is one such man...my God Bless you Matthew, my friend.

I never got to meet this man, but after reading all this, I’m sad I didn’t. Sounds like he was as solid as The Lord makes em. RIP brother.

Being a rabid Sooner fan, fishing trips with Matthew were always interesting to say the least. He was a rabid Longhorns fan. We spent more time trying to knock each others hat in the water, knock fish off, etc. Good times. I bet he's rolling over the demise of the Longhorns the last few years.

A true Texas gentleman. I can't wait to meet again.

It’s so true...I ALWAYS wore a TCU hat whenever I visited or fished with Matthew...his comments were always entertaining...plus, I would occasionally provide him with some Aggie or Frog stuff, just to watch the anguish on his face! And he always hated that phone call right after (and during) the TCU/UT football game! Nothing like it, he was a died in the wool Longhorn! I used to ask him if he thought the horns would ever win another game against the Frogs...his responses covered a multitude thought and emotion! I really miss him...
