George Edgar Carson Jr. was born December 14, 1933 in Denver, Colorado to George Edgar Carson Sr. and Gladys (Halverson) Carson.
George graduated from South High School and attended classes at the Emily Griffith Opportunity School.
George enjoyed the Denver area especially fishing in the mountain streams. George was a lawn mower technician for Carson Bros., the family business. After the business closed George worked for Steel Inc. until a car accident in 1974 brought him to Canon City to be under the care of Canon’s nursing homes facilities which eventually enabled him to ride a bike and/or walk collecting and recycling cans. Then a pedestrian/truck encounter required George to depend on a walker to take advantage of all Canon City has to offer and the kindness of its residents especially the First United Methodist Church that he attended regularly.
George is survived by his sister, Edith (Carson) Cook and brother–in-law Charles “Bud” Cook; nephews, Tom Cook, Dane(Patti) Cook; nieces, Cheryl (Conrad) Lindberg, Linda (Jim) Hitt; three grandnieces and one grandnephew.
George was preceded in death by his parents and dear friend, Marlene Mezo.
Graveside services are being arranged by Holt Family Funeral Home of Canon City and Crown Hill Cemetery of Denver. The services at Crown Hill Cemetery will be held at a later date.
