Carson, as he preferred to be called (his brother in law is Larry), became Husband to Carolyn Belden and Daddy to Annie Belden on December 25, 2001.

Carson loved cattle and livestock shows, working, his dogs, raising his bottle calves, fishing, gardening, bird watching, and talking football with his nephews.

Carson also enjoyed telling a good story, about his work experiences and shenanigans there, his time as a 4-H leader in El Dorado and Nevada Counties in California, and life in general. He also enjoyed telling a good joke, and they could range from mildly to wildly inappropriate.

After moving to Summersville, Missouri in 2016, Carson eagerly anticipated the annual return of the fireflies every spring. In the winter he loved all things Christmas: Christmas trees, Christmas lights, Christmas music, and Hallmark Christmas movies.

In the last year, Carson found great joy in spending time with his newest granddaughter Josephine.

Larry Carson was preceded in death by his parents George and Agnes and his sister Sharon Eversult.

Carson is survived and will be deeply missed by his wife Carolyn; a son Clint Carson and his partner Jennifer Milne; grandson, Brandon and his wife Brittany; great-grandchildren Bode and Gracee; a granddaughter, Ashley Carson White and her husband Steve and great-grandchildren Aubrey and Amelia; daughter, Lenore Cossey and her husband James; granddaughter, Devin Cossey; grandson, Isaac Cossey; daughter, Annie and granddaughter Josephine as well as step-daughters, Sondra (Higby) Murphy and Heather (Higby) Gardner.
