Carl Davison Obituary
Carl leaves his partner of 26 years, Kelly Gouin of Mount Pleasant, SC his mother, Judith (Gosline) Drolet, of Worcester, Massachusetts, brother Brady Davison of Blackstone, MA, sister Melissa Kerswell, brother Douglas Reed and wife Linda of Hampton New Hampshire, brother Michael Davison and wife Debra of Falmouth Massachusetts, brother Frederick Davison and long time partner Hen of Florida, and many nieces and nephews. Carl is predeceased by his father Frederick S. Davison. Carl will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Carl worked as a skilled carpenter for many years and took great pride in his work.
Carl was always there to lend a helping hand to his friends and family, bringing joy and laughter to those around him. He had a deep love for all animals and living creatures. Every morning, Carl would sit outside with his dog, Ellie May, giving her a back rub and treats. He enjoyed traveling, whether by cruise or airplane, and his favorite trip was to London, England, a long-time bucket list destination. In his younger years, Carl enjoyed 4-wheeling and snowmobiling.
A memorial service to celebrate Carl's life will be held at a later date. Details will be shared with family and friends once arrangements have been made.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Pet Helpers Adoption Center in Charleston, South Carolina in Carl's honor.

Dear Uncle Carl,
Im incredibly sad I didn´t get to see you as of late. I remember you visiting on and off growing up..you were always so happy and warm, made everyone laugh with your stories and jokes. You were one of my first role models, I wanted to be able to light up a room and make others smile just by being my silly self. I think I´m a lot like you in that way, wanna make everyone have a good time, relax, be a goofball.
Hope whatever´s next is awesome, and I´ll see you again one day.
You will be missed immensely. And we all love you! Wish you got to meet my daughter.
Your "cheeky monkey"

The world just got less fun and nice. That kid had a heart of gold and such a kind soul. So many laughs with him growing up and then again as our paths crossed at Uncle Fred´s bar in Boston where Carl tended bar.
Mike, Fred, Brady, Missy, and Chipper - so sorry for the loss of your beautiful brother. He was 1 in a million.
