Wesley Carlson Obituary
CARLSON, Wesley D.
(Age 93)
Wesley D. Carlson, age 93, passed away February 18, 2011 in Scottsdale, AZ. He was born on November 28, 1917 in Winnipeg, Canada, the son of John and Lillian (Brown) Carlson. In 1946 he moved to Eastern Washington and became a Naturalized US Citizen. Wes worked a variety of jobs in his younger days before starting Carlson Plumbing in 1956. He retired when he was 89 years old. He was a hard working person of few words and high integrity who put the Lord and his family first. He enjoyed 4 wheeling, prospecting, gardening, backpacking and anything outdoors and having his family with him made everything more enjoyable.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Bonita Carlson of Spokane, WA; four children, Harold Carlson of Chattaroy, WA; Marilyn Nap (Terry) of Scottsdale, AZ; Cliff Carlson of Wasilla, AK; and Elaine Pederson of Spokane, WA; eight grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by four brothers and one sister. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, March 4, 2011, at 1:00pm, in the Alwin Chapel at HAZEN & JAEGER FUNERAL HOME, 1306 N. MONROE. Graveside services will follow at Riverside Memorial Park.

Wes Carlson was an extraordinary, kind, generous, thoughtful, reliable, and wonderful man. He was one of the very few people who I completely trusted to send him to work on a building, and just mail the bill. He was totally reliable, honest, and cheerful, no matter how bad the situation. He taught me a lot about how to deal with plumbing in old buildings, and I often quote his "lessons" to other people. I will always remember him with the greatest respect and fondness.
