** In Loving Memory of Larry Carlson **

Larry is loved, missed and will be remembered forever in our hearts. Larry was a wonderful Son, Brother,Grandson, Cousin, Nephew, Friend. Larry was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He was sweet, kind, had huge smile. Larry is survived by his siblings, many other relatives in Minnesota, including the Twin Cities area. Like his Dad and brothers, Larry was excellent at carpentry, construction. He was working in Idaho and had moved to Soda Springs Idaho. Larry never married or had children. Larry died tragically when he was a very young man.

Larry is survived by many relatives in Twin Cities Metro MN.

Larry's Brother Terry Carlson passed away in Colorado in 2012.

Larry's Minnesota Siblings buried Terry's urn next to were Larry

is buried. The two wonderful beloved brothers are now both laid

to rest next to each other. They share the Upright Headstone.

Family called Larry by his given name Larry. It appears per his headstone provided by his employer at Washington Construction in Idaho,

his employer and friends in Idaho called him "Bill".

He was an Electrician's Helper.

The circumstances surrounding Larry's death are very sad. In Larry's honor and his Memory, it appears documenting his situation is important for family history. Larry's Family is still grieving losing him and the circumstances are still painful and sad. Larry grew up in Brooklyn Center MN. Larry was working in Idaho at the time he passed away. Larry died a tragic death while vacationing in Florida when he was a very young man.

(victim of homicide) The person responsible for his death has never been found or prosecuted. Larry's Family tried to bring justice for Larry, but as of 2020, the case remains unsolved. Larry is buried in Idaho as his Family did not know he passed away until there was just enough time to get to the funeral. An Idaho friend of Larry's knew Larry had told him he had family in MN, but didn't know who they were or how to contact them. That friend placed the obituary notice in the Mpls MN newspaper. A neighbor of Larry's parents saw the obituary and brought it to Larry's family. With almost no advance notice, Larry's Family who could get a plane booked immediately went to Idaho to attend his funeral. Nobody knew who they were or where they were as Larry was vacationing in Florida. Larry was inpatient at the University Hospital Jackson Florida while before passing away, but neither his family or friends anywhere knew that until after Larry passed away. Larry was not able to communicate and the hospital didn't know who is relatives were or have any

contact info to notify anyone. Family and friends didn't know where Larry was,

what had happened to Larry or that Larry was hospitalized and died.

Florida officials eventually found Larry's Employer, after Larry passed away, from his car being abandoned for a very long time and trying to track down the owner of the abandoned car. The Florida police finally located Larry's employer in Idaho.

Larry's Employer cared for and respected Larry enough to handle

Larry's Final affairs. Larry's Employer arranged and paid for

Larry's Funeral, burial and Larry's headstone.

Larry's Employer did not know how to contact Larry's Family. Larry's Family is very grateful and appreciative for his altruism. If they had found Larry's Family, they would have buried him in the Twin Cities MN area. Larry's Family was shocked and heartbroken about the circumstances surround Larry's death.

Larry's Brother Terry John Carlson

passed away October 2012 unexpectedly in Colorado due to medical issues.

Per Terry's wishes, he is laid to rest with Larry. When their grieving Siblings

went to Idaho for Terry's interment they

met some of Larry's friends. It brought comfort to Larry's Siblings to be able to make phone contact with Larry's landlord and a a a friend of Larry's. They were surprised when they arrived in 2013, there were flowers on Larry's grave. The cemetery was able to give them contact information for the woman who visited Larry's grave and left him flowers regularly. All these years. She was relieved, but saddened to hear the true story surrounding Larry's death. Larry's Family were very appreciative of Larry's Employer for handling Larry's final affairs, but always grieved that Larry was buried so far away. For Larry's Employer to take care

of Larry's Funeral and Burial for Larry was heartwarming. Everyone who knew Larry loved and remembered him. Larry was on a vacation when he passed away, not work related. Larry's brother Terry, prior to his death had always expressed if anything ever happened to him, he wished to be laid to rest with Larry. Terry's Memorial Services were in MN. His Family held private Internment for Terry in Idaho. Terry is now buried in Idaho with Larry. He shares Larry's Gravesite and the other side of Larry's Headstone. They were brothers and best friends. While grieving the loss of both brothers, his siblings have some comfort they are together. Larry is no longer alone in Idaho. Larry's Parents Iris and John have passed away. Larry's Family and all of us who were blessed to have known Larry have many fond cherished memories of him in the short time he had with us.
