Carson will be remembered as “The Great One” to those he knew. Our father always had a joke ready to share when he walked into the room. Dad, your life was a blessing to each of us, your memory will be treasured, and we love you beyond words. You may be gone from our sight but you will never be from our hearts. Carson leaves behind his beloved daughters Catrina Rousch and her husband Steve and Courtney Keener along with his son Chris Walsh, his life partner Betty Valentino, and 2 granddaughters whom he loved dearly. As our father preferred simplicity we invite you to remember our Dad privately.
