Kenneth Carson Obituary
Webster - Kenneth N. Carson age 83 died Thursday, March 16, 2017 at his home surrounded by his family. He leaves a son Kenneth J. Carson and his wife Mary of Framingham; and two daughters, Pebbles J. Carson and her fiance Bernard Baldwin Jr. of Holland and Susan M. Ricard and her fiance David Gardner of Webster. His son Craig P. Carson predeceased him in 1997. He leaves 11 grandchildren: Ashley, Nicholas, Joseph, Tess, Isabel, Samuel, Kenneth, Jillian, Jacquelyn, Terrence and Juliana. His granddaughter Sophia predeceased him in 2002. He also had 11 great-grandchildren: Elias, Ana, Eve, Taryn, Aalana, Lila, Alice, Esmae, Maria, Annaliese and Julio.
He was born in Boston, son of Kenneth G. Carson and Florence (Ryan) Carson, grew up in Oxford, and graduated from St. Louis High School. Many knew him as "Speedy". He is a US Army Veteran who served in Germany during the Korean War. His brother Richard Carson was killed in the Vietnam War. He lived in Webster for the past 33 years. He retired in 1995 as an inside salesman at Peterson Steel Corp. He was a member of the American Legion in Oxford and the American Society of Metals.
He loved cookouts and other gatherings of his family, the retired life at his scenic lakeside home, and the companionship of his dog, Jaida. He enjoyed watching sports and Western movies, playing the lottery, and going to the casinos. He loved trivia, jokes, wit and wordplay, laughed easily and loudly, and knew how to make others laugh as well. He loved to engage all the people he met, with quips, a smile and a sparkle in his eye. Few things in life made him so happy as helping someone in need, and he always stood up for the underdog. Even through the toughest times he would say he was living the dream.
Calling hours will be at Shaw-Majercik Funeral Home, 48 School St., Webster, Monday, March 20 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Military honors bestowed at 6:30 pm by the Webster-Dudley Veterans Council. The family requests donations be made to Second Chance Animal Shelter in East Brookfield, www.secondchanceanimals.org. A guest book is available at www.shaw-majercik.com where you may post a condolence or light a candle.

My Dear Friend Ken. The view from my window has always been brighter with you in sight. Kind words, supportive talks, sincere smiles. You my Dear Friend, have brought me Understanding, Love, Patience and Acceptance of what life brings. I love you as a Friend, Brother, Father and Confidant. I thank God for every moment He allowed me to share with you and for the great thoughts that I shall always possess. Carpe Diem
Watching his dynasty
Ken Carson
March 19, 2017
My Dad had a "carpe diem" philosophy of life. He loved his kids, his 11 grandkids, and the 11 great-grandkids... he called them his "dynasty" with his usual big smile. And I and all the rest of us loved him back for his humor, his generosity-- and even for the way he'd push us to be more, and accept us for who we were at the same time. He overcame a lot of sadness in this world to remain a steady and strong presence in all our lives. As blessed as I've been to have had him all these years, the loss of a Dad like that is very difficult.
A Grateful American
March 19, 2017

Your loved one will always be a part of our country's story. As such, their sacrifice on behalf of our nation will always be honored.
