I returned to the Peoria Brickyard today to purchase more bricks, and I asked for the nice young man who assisted me the first time. It has struck me deeply to learn of Carson´s story. Even tho our encounter was short, he was fully engaged in helping me pick out the right colors of bricks for my project and he wanted me to be happy with the selection. He was a caring, thoughtful young man who left a positive impact with me. My condolences go out to his family.

My very first memory of Carson is the 1st day of 5th grade. My boys were new to his school and he was the 1st person to greet us by the school doors. I´ll never forget him. He greeted my boys like he was their best friend already and told us not to worry, he´d show us around and make sure the boys knew where to go and what to do! And he did! And every morning after that, he waited for us and took my boys under his wing! What a sweet kid he was! ...I pray that he is enjoying the presence of God!! Praying also for his family and friends that feel his loss!
