Christopher Russell Carlson

I just found out that chris had passed away and my heart is hurting. we were raised together as kids and he was as close as a brother. i considered him my brother and jon also. chris used to read the encyclopedia for fun. he was the best guy ever.

I met Chris while working as a deputy in the courts. He was such a great guy, I was so sad to hear of his passing. We bonded over back issues and jokes. It was impossible to work with him and not smile and have a blast! Chris truly brightened every space he entered. The world will be a lot less bright without him in it! Rest in Peace my friend!

I worked with Chris at the DA´s office. He had a personality as big as his physical presence. He was friendly, funny, kind, and always quick to offer help. He had such a brilliant mind, and a file cabinet full of legal research that he eagerly shared with me when I was a new DA. I swear, it was as if he had every one of those cases memorized. I am so sad to hear of his passing. The world is greatly diminished by this loss. My heart goes out to his daughters, the rest of his family, and his...

I always enjoyed working with Chris when I was a clerk downtown; despite my inexperience he never lost patience with me or made me feel inadequate, and always had a joke ready on those truly hectic days.

I am sad beyond words hearing of Chris's passing. He was one of the real ones. He will be missed. :( RIP big guy.

Beautiful Tribute to a Great Guy, we will miss you Chris.

Very said to read this- I met Chris once yrs ago while working a case in SAC County and chatted about HS sports and growing up in the same area. I went to YVHS, but my sons went to CPHS and one went on the UCD so we had a real bond. Prayers to friends and family- RIP Mr. Carlson

Rest in peace, Chris...

I met Chris through a mutual friend, Bill who we worked with in the DAs office in Sacramento. I mostly know Chris from the numerous electrical projects he had going around his house. He was easy to work for and was always adding something that required my skills. It would be six months since I heard from him and he would call me and say he had new project for me. When I showed up it was like we just talked yesterday. I also knew him from the gym. He was such a ball of energy and always in a...
