William Carroll West, Jr., 87, formerly of Fort Smith, stepped into heaven to meet the love of his life, Donna on Monday April 26, 2021.

Carroll and Donna moved to Little Rock with $85.00 to begin a life journey of 66 years. Carroll loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing with friends in his Ranger Boat and RV’s across America.
