David Wayne Carson

David was very adventurous as a child. At family functions he would rather be off looking for birds or crawdads in the river than playing typical childhood games. As an adult David had a passion for training dogs for show and spent many years in the field. He loved being outdoors and enjoyed fishing. He also enjoyed antiques. He could hold a conversation with anyone.

Persons who knew David would describe him as one, who even while down on his luck, would never give up. He tried his best to stay positive and had maintained a level of integrity that many, in similar situations or doing much better in life, struggle to ever reach.

David is survived by his mother Susan Dadulo of Chehalis, daughter Caitlin, 21, of Centralia, and his son Dakota, 17, of Olympia. Also brother Danny Carson and sister-in-law Cindi of Adna and brother Bryan Pendleton and sister-in-law Tacy of Centralia, nieces Britany and Alexis Carson and Kaylee Pendleton, and nephews Derek Carson and Carson Pendleton. David also has MANY cousins, aunts and uncles that he enjoyed visiting as a young boy. Also thought of Brenda Dearcos and Holly Pollard of Centralia as sisters and friends for 36 years.

He was preceded in death by step-father John Pendleton, ex-wife Rhonda Carson, grandparents Luther and Beulah Pendleton, and Harry and Maralee French.
