James Carson Obituary
He attended the University of Alaska, Fairbanks for two years. His first job after working on the family farm and college was at the Matanuska Dairy Co-Op in Palmer. He then worked for B&C Supply (now CarQuest) until he retired, a job that took him from Wasilla to Fairbanks to Anchorage and finally back to Wasilla again. Throughout his life and in retirement he enjoyed the AK Railroad, haying the field, small engine repair, bird watching with friends, fishing the Kenai, camping, snow machining and golfing in Hawaii.
His family states "Dad lived a long and happy life. Late in his retirement, he enjoyed putting around the farm, playing with the cats and watching the trains to see if they got a new engine. He is deeply missed, leaving a hole in our hearts that will never be filled."
He was predeceased by his wife, Bernadette (Bunny) Rose Carson, and many other family members. He is survived by lots of family and friends who will carry on his memory.
A Celebration of Life Potluck will be held Sunday, January 12, 2020, from 2-6 pm at the VFW Post #9365, 301 E. Lakeview Ave., Wasilla. In lieu of flowers please send memorial donations to Alzheimer's Association of Alaska or Mat-Su Animal Shelter, 9470 E. Chanlyut Circle, Palmer, AK 99645.
