Tom Carroll, 59

Tom Carroll, 59, of Schwenksville, husband of Regina (Shore) Carroll, passed away Sunday April 12, 2026 at Einstein Montgomery Hospital.

Born in Philadelphia, he was the son of Thomas Donald and Barbara Gail (Crump) Carroll.

Tom was an avid hockey fan and loved playing. Watching his sons play (sometimes 4:50 am practice) gave him the same thrill as when he played himself. He loved movies and quoting lines from movies. Family movie night was the highlight of his week. But mostly spending time with his children was his great joy. Each year they got a “Dad Day” where they didn’t go to school and got to pick whatever they wanted to do for the day. This dad day event was something Tom always held in his heart and gave him more joy than whichever kid was missing school.

He worked for the same company for 34 years. The company’s name changed but to Tom it was always known as “Cage Graphics”. Where he worked with his friends. The bond they had with so many stories they shared made memories he never forgot.

Surviving along with his wife and parents is his daughter Kaitlyn Carroll; sons Austin and Luke Carroll; and sister Carol Ann O’Neil wife of Bill.

Funeral Mass will be held Friday April 17, 2026 at St. Eleanor Catholic Church, 647 Locust St., Collegeville, PA 19426. Burial will follow at St. Ann’s Cemetery, Phoenixville. Visitation will be held Friday from 10:00-11:45 AM at the church.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tom’s memory to Tunnel to Towers Foundation at https://t2t.org/donate/

Add My Condolences

Tom was a good kid. He loved his job & all the characters he worked with. Cage was like a family. He loved being part of it. He came to work even when he was sick & could barely walk. He & I would talk & laugh about the crazy dudes that came & went. He loved going to Byrnes Tavern for crabs. He had a very nice way about him & was always laughing. I will miss him. Peace & love forever. John Holt

Tommy was my closest cousin when we were young. I often tell friends that my childhood growing up was like the movie "The Sandlot". Just a bunch of us guys that grew up together and playing every sport imaginable. The driveway between Kerper and Unruh Streets was our ball field/basketball court/hockey rink that provided so many memories that I cannot recall today without a big smile on my face. Echoing Glenn's comments, Tommy was a wizard with a hockey stick. He was the best player on our Blazers hockey team. I will miss him forever.

Im sorry to hear of the passing of Tom. He is my NORTHEAST HS classmate. He was always a good guy during our school days.

It was nice to see he continued to be a good guy, husband and father - well after we graduated many years ago.

May his many happy memories be a comfort to his friends and family in the coming days.

So sad that Tom has left us so soon. As an employee, Tom was one of the most dedicated and devoted employees I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He was always accountable and he held his fellow employees to the same standard. Tom was a hard worker and a valued team member who was, among others, the foundation of our success. As a person, Tom had more than his share of trials however he never complained. He always offered his support and was compassionate to others and I am grateful to have had Tom as a friend. He will be missed by so many!

This is so sad. I remember when they ordered jerseys with the name Blazers on them. They were so excited. Just a great bunch of neighborhood guys who just loved playing street hockey. I think it kept them out of trouble!😂 Great memories treasured. RIP Tom. Sending thoughts and prayers of comfort to all Tom’s family and friends.
My sincere sympathy, Mrs Zig. 🙏🏻

Although I lost touch with Tom through the years,he is what I consider one of my friends I’ve had in Life. Always up for fun and I have so many great memories of times with him. For those whom have known him since his teen years,you know he was the person who started our friend hockey team the “BLAZERS”. We met so many people through the years from playing street hockey and had so many great times.Tom loved hockey and everyone knew how much he loved Wayne Gretzky. It was awesome to watch and play hockey with Tom. His ability to stick handle was prob the best in the area.Above all that he was truly a great friend who you could depend on always. Thanks for being you TC#99 RIP 🙏🏻

I hired Tom 41 years ago. One of our top hires ever if not the best! He embodied a spirit for mischief and other types of fun which made growing a business more than work. He loved his family coworkers and friends. I had dinner with him and a few others last month. One dinner I’m glad I didn’t miss. When the going got tough Tommy Carroll was at the front of the line. I will miss him a lot and I’ll love him forever. I am unable to attend his services but will be there in spirit.
