Carroll R. Grimm, 71, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2018 in Cypress, TX.

Carroll, known to many as C.R., was born March 17, 1946 in Cameron, TX to Clinton and Ida Stoebner Grimm. He is preceded in death by both of his parents and younger brother John L. Grimm. He was baptized into the Christian faith in May, 1946 and confirmed his faith on August 28, 1960 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Thorndale, TX.

C.R. is survived by Scherry Grimm and his children; daughter Kim and partner Corey Kerr, Shawn and partner Faye Liffick, and Megan and husband Jason Wootan. He is also survived by his grandchildren and numerous family, friends, and colleagues.

Upon high school graduation, C.R. attended Stephen F. Austin State University where he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture Science. He joined the Army National Guard and served four years before returning to school to earn his Master's from Texas A&M - Prairie View.

In 1970, he began his career as an Ag teacher at Cy-Fair High School. He would stay at Cy-Fair for the next 41 years before finally retiring in 2011. Through his commitment to the Cy-Fair Ag program, the FFA and the Cy-Fair Rodeo, he built a legacy that touched thousands of students and families. He not only taught students agriculture in the classroom, he taught many about life.  His legacy was built on work ethic, a passion for teaching, a love for animals and simply giving freely of his time and knowledge. Many have referred to him as a legend and while he would laugh at this, he was also so proud.

The family will be receiving visitors Thursday, March 15, 2018 from 5-8pm at Klein Funeral Home, 1400 W. Main St., Tomball, TX. Services will be held Friday, March 16, 2018, 10:30 am at St. John Lutheran Church, 15235 Spring Cypress Rd., Cypress, TX. Burial will take place after the service at Detmold Cemetery, Thorndale, TX.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Grimm Scholarship Fund so that his family may continue his legacy by helping students.
