Liam Carolan Obituary

I just saw this sign waiting in traffic looking around and seeing the rememberance about liam, may god bless your family’s soul. Your still remembered 15 years later.

I didn't know Liam but I saw the sign where he died. I saw it while waiting on traffic. Small condolence that it might be, know that the sign you placed got me to look up Liam. He is still remembered in 2017.

Wow it's been already a little over two month's since Liam passed away and I have to honestly say that it hasn't gotten any easier, with out him here. Liam nothing feel's the same anymore. I just feel such an emptyness in my heart without you, you were such a caring an amazing little brother. The best I could have ever asked for. You and me we had our own special bond and I would have done anything for you in this world I could. I even think you took advantage of me sometimes, because you know I couldn't say no to you! I have so many memories of us as kids and of you and me at the Irish parade, I never had so much fun with anyone. You were the most proud always to be Irish and you looked the most Irish out of the 3 of us. I wish I had so many more memories of all the things I always wanted us to do together, but we just never had the chance, and that hurts more than words could ever say. I also can't say enough about how thankful I am that my girls could have had such a wonderful and great uncle you were, Liam you were beyond compare how much you cared about your niece's, they just would tell eveyone they had the cooliest uncle in the world, you did so much with them. They have such special memories of the time they spent with you.No matter what they were doing you would always find the time for them even though you were still young yourself, you would let them hangout with you and your friends when they would go by Mom's and never complained. You still payed them all the attention they could have ever asked for. They will forever be heart broken by losing you. I love you Liam always and forever and you will live in our hearts forever,not a day goes by that your smiling face doen't cross my mind a thousand times. Until we meet again my guardian angel. Love, always your big sister. Meghan

We just heard about your loss, we are deeply sorry. Kathy and Nick Mariano

Dear Carolan Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the sudden and tragic loss of Liam. I remember him as a little guy many years ago when your Tim and my son Andy were buddies at St. Eugene School.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Liam was a really great guy. Even though i didn't know him much he was fun to be around. may he rest in peace forever.

i will always remember when me and nicole (shorty) ran all the way to calvins house one night from taft. we were scared about something. him and liam came outside and hung out with us til we calmed down. he was a great guys who everyone and anyone could talk to. my heart goes out to his family, friends, and his girlfriend. r.i.p

i remember liams roof top parties. they were amazingly fun.. he was so nice.. he'll always be in my heart

Liam, I miss you alot buddy. I will never forget the times we use to run around Catherine Courts and swim in the private pool overthere on half days after Dirksen.. Or when we were huge wrestling fanatics and we use to stand around Bally's and wait for the wrestlers to come so we can get an autograph... I rememeber how happy you were when your brother brought home an autograph from your favorite wrestler, Edge.. We were ecstatic.. Then when my sister took us to WWF Smackdown back in 2001... The whole day I have been in shock.. I still can't believe you're gone.. My whole family is saddened by this ugly news.. You were like a brother and I will dearly miss you. Goodbye my good friend,

liam was a very nice person and a great guy. I just met him not to long ago and I had many laughs with him. One day I will again. God Bless you and your family my prayers are with them.

We are very sorry for your loss, may time ease your pain.

My deepest condolences to all who knew Liam. You are in my thoughts and prayers. This is indeed a tragedy.

I will never forget Liam. He was a true friend and to me he was my big brother and always will be. I was introduced to him from my sister Mimma and they were the bestest of friends. I will remember all the times he used to come over and just hang out with me or with all of our friends. Those times will never be forgotten. Liam was never one to judge anyone and he got along with everybody. He was the kind of guy that you would instantly like the instant you started talking to him. I will miss and love you forever Liam and i will always have you in my heart and you will always be the big brother that i never had. R.I.P Liam

May God be with your family , and Vicky at this time. Words can not express the sorrow me have for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dennis, Susan, Vicky and all of Liam's family and friends. Please accept my deepest condolances on the loss of a very very special person.

I will never forget the times I spent around Liam. The laughs we had outside on the driveway, the poker games here at our home or how he'd always see me from the pool area and always take the time to wave as I drove through Catherine Courts. I will also never forget how he'd sneek up on me when I was working outside often scaring the hell out of me. He'd just stand there and smile and say " How's it going Mr. R " ? His next question often seemed to be " Do you have an extra cigarette "? Then we'd hang around and shoot the breeze.

I always found it amazing to see how Liam was able to bring so many friends from so many different neighborhoods togrther and how those friendships have grown. He accepted everybody and never judged them. Amazing ability !!!

The corner here by our house and the world in general will be a different place forever without Liam. I know I'll be always be expecting to see him casually walk or stop by. I already miss Liam dearly and always will. It has been my extreme pleasure to have known you ! Rest in peace my friend and I wish you heavenly peace.

Dennis and Susan, no bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I'd like to share with you a bible scripture that has brought me comfort many times. Isaiah 26:9 says 'your dead ones will live. A corpse of mine, they will rise up. Awake and cry out joyfully'. Yes, Almighty God has not only the power but also the desire to resurrect persons whom he chooses. May Jehovah God give you the strength to cope with the loss of your lovely son Liam.

RIP Liam. We all Miss you. Our prayers go out to your Family,Frieds, and loved ones. We Love you.

Vicky's next door neighbors the Bell family have you in our thoughts and prayers. Craig, Adrienne, Amanda, Taylor and Halsted (Chicago, IL)

I met Liam through his best friend Mimma, we hung out so many times throughout my junior and senior years of high school. I have so many great memories that he was apart of, it saddens me to see him gone. My prayers and heart goes out to his family, friends, Vicky and Mimma.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Liam’s family, Vicky and friends. Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow. We cherish the memories we were able to share with Liam– especially the late nights in the back yard. We were blessed to have him as part of our “extended” family.
Liam we miss you dearly. You are in our hearts – forever.
A quote from Ireland : “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.” Rest in Peace, Liam.

My son Nick always talked about Liam I just wish I had gotten to meet him. My prayers to his family and all his wonderful friends. Draw strength from each other. God Bless

I never knew Liam; I am a friend of Ed Smollen's Dad, who alerted me to this tragedy. My heart goes out to all, family and fiance.

Our deepest sympathies to the Carolan family. Liam was a good student, and an outstanding cadet while in our unit at Taft. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time of great sorrow.

I am the mom of a soldier in the 333rd. My deepest sympathy to Liam's family and friends. I hope the "family" of the 333rd can comfort Tim at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Liam.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Carolan family and Vicky. Stay strong guys. RIP Liam (you were one of a kind)

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My condolences to the Carolan Family so sorry for your loss. Jeff Husir

Liam was a genuine soul, he was an honest man, and he was a true and real friend. His smile and good cheer were always present if you were around him, he was different. I never thought that the first time I had met him that what I thought would be a 5 minute conversation would turn into something that I will treasure forever. Liam, I will miss you with my entire heart, and will forever remember you for your trueness as a human being and how real you were as a friend. God bless you, I hope to see you again someday up in the big blue sky, I'll bring a case of Miller Lite and the acoustic and it will be like old times. For now you will always be a part of me and and an example to live by. I love you and God bless.

Dear Carolan Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Liam. I remember him as a little boy when we lived by you in the townhouses in Norridge and how he loved to play with his lego guys. My deepest sympathies.

Tim and Family. We are so sorry for your loss, our prayers are with you in this time of need. Matt & Monica
