James Carlson Obituary
James effortlessly lit up a room when he entered, and he had an uncanny ability to spread joy to those around him. His charming and optimistic personality was contagious to most people he met. It almost feels as though everyone knew James in some way; he had an impact on so many people's lives throughout his incredible journey and his presence is sorely missed.
A loving father and son, and irreplaceable friend, James leaves behind a hole in our hearts. He is survived by his son Alexander, his mother Ellen, his lifelong friend and brother Matthew, and many members of his extended family. James' loved ones will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest, just as he would have encouraged us to do.
