Carroll Russell Hebbel Jr.

Carroll Russell Hebbel, Jr of Stevensville, MD passed away at his home on December 29, 2023 at the age of 60. Carroll was born in Amherst, MA, on December 19, 1963, the son of Carroll Russell Hebbel, Sr. and Janet Parker Hebbel. Carroll grew up in Towson, MD graduating from Loch Raven Senior High School in 1981. He began his lifelong career in landscaping with his first company, K&C Grounds Maintenance. Carroll enjoyed working outdoors, applying his extensive plant knowledge and creativity. He was working at Chester River Landscaping until an idiopathic spinal cord injury forced him to stop working. Carroll married Kathleen (Virden) Hebbel on November 14, 1998 in Ocean City, MD where they first met in 1979. They moved from Baltimore to Kent Island with their son, Michael in 2005. He never regretted his move to the Eastern Shore where he forged many friendships. Carroll was an enthusiastic sports fan, especially NASCAR. He traveled annually to the races with a great group of friends. He was a member of many over-30 soccer teams and was an English Premier League fan. He played golf and cheered on the Baltimore Colts and then the Baltimore Ravens. Carroll loved trips with family and friends to the beaches in OCMD and OBX. His Tree Frog drinks were legendary, and his secret pulled pork recipe goes with him. Above all, Carroll cherished being with his family and friends. In July of 2022, Carroll suffered a spinal cord injury which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Undeterred, he faced this adversity with a remarkable sense of humor, indomitable spirit and open mind. With a jolly disposition he worked tirelessly to regain his mobility. The outpouring of love and support from family and friends during his recovery became a source of strength for Carroll, Kathleen, and Michael. In addition to his wife of 25 years, Carroll is survived by sons Michael Parker Hebbel and Kyle Russell Hinton Hebbel; his parents, Carroll & Janet Hebbel; his mother-in-law, Virginia Jacobs; his sisters, Kerry Carroll (Rick), Kathy Koumentis (Alex), Mary Pat Thompson (Dave); brother Keith Jacobs (Lynette); as well as nieces and nephews Robert, Rachael, Tanya, Lexi, Brian, Kate, Brendan, and Nick.
