Carroll Franklin Biddix, age 82, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at AdventHealth in Hendersonville.

A native of Buncombe County, Carroll was born September 3, 1938, the middle child of the late Rev. Frank Young Biddix and Dovie Geneva Lewis. He was also preceded in death by wife, Margaret Amelia Joyner; sister, Wilma Jean Thomasson; and brother, James Earl Biddix.

He is survived by children, Tim Biddix (Janet), of Mills River, Tony Biddix (Kathy), of Weaverville, Randy Biddix (Marilyn), of Candler, and Tammy Peek (Don), of Fairview; and step-children, Tracie Esposito, of Asheville, and Brian Esposito (Laura), of Madison, Alabama. He was the very proud grandfather of eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; two step-grandchildren and one step-great-grandchild.

Carroll retired as Operations Manager from Canteen in 2001 after 34 years of service. He was a preacher’s kid who enjoyed singing in church quartets in his younger days. He loved spending time with family, woodworking, traveling, family history, and helping others. Carroll was a jack-of-all-trades who could do anything. He was known for his work ethic, honesty and integrity, and was well thought of by those who knew him. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

There will be a graveside service at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday March 7th at the Pisgah View Memorial Park in Candler. The Reverends James Lamb and Randy Biddix will officiate.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Liver Foundation or the American Cancer Society.

  1. Dear Family, such a loss of a sweet family member and cousin. May God give each of you the comfort that only He can. God Bless all!!💕

  2. Sincere condolences to the family for your loss, and we pray that you find comfort and peace.

  3. CAROL hired me at canteen in 1972. very good boss and great to work for. sorry for your loss. I know Margret was glad to see him come come through the gates of Heaven.

  4. I have the please of working with Randy and Tony and have gotten to see up close the character, kindness and workworking and homebuilding skills that Carroll passed onto his children. Our dearest thoughts go out to the family at this time as losing a parent is one of life’s toughest challenges. It is comforting to know that his struggle was brief and his passing mercifully quick. May the family remember the good times and let the pain quickly recede.

  5. I really enjoyed listening to Carolls stories on the Biddix/Joyner family trees. The heavens gained a great angel to join his wife Margaret(my aunt).

  6. We were sad to hear about Carol. He was faithful to visit others. He came to our son Lee’s memorial, and came to visit us later.
    He will be greatly missed; but just think where he is-” to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”.
    Keeping you all in our prayers.
