Seth Carr, Justin Sullivan, Ethan McClister, Brandon Sheehan, Brandon Leach, and Jack Hadley will serve as pallbearers.

Born December 28, 1949, in Glasgow, he was a son of the late William Carson and Opal Kathleen Ramsey Lawless. Carson was a United States Army Veteran and a paratrooper of the 101st Airborne Division, with over 200 jumps in his military career. He was a salesman for John Deere farm equipment for more than 40 years. Carson was a member of the Caretakers Riding Club, and he enjoyed riding his motorcycle for charity, while raising money for worthy causes. He was also a farmer, and a well-known farrier in the community. Carson was a big-hearted man that loved his family and all those lucky enough to be part of his life. He was a good father to his children and a good "Pa" to his grandchildren. Carson was the type of person that never met a stranger. For those that knew him, he was a living legend. For those that didn't, they missed an opportunity to gain a lifelong friend.

Survivors include three daughters, Sunni Gayle (and Craig) Leach, Cristal (and Terry) McClister, and Dawnlyn (and Mike) Stamper, all of Russell Springs; a son, Justin (and Magan) Sullivan, of Russell Springs; two sisters, Carol Lane, of Richmond, and Judith McDaniel, of St. Louis, Missouri; twelve grandchildren, Bethany Carr, Haley Cook, Seth Carr, Ethan McClister, Brandon Leach, Erin Bell, Joseph McDowell, Elizabeth Stamper, Kayln Fair, Alyanna Fair, Kyle Carr, and Jordan Carr; three great-grandchildren, Gabriel Rios, Jaxon Bell, and Brylee Bell; and a very special friend, Sandra Biven.

In addition to his parents, Carson is preceded in death by his wife of 34 years, Carol Browning Lawless, who passed away September 9, 2019; and a brother in-law, Harold Lane.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Caretakers Riding Club, c/o Mike Berry, 213 Dogwood Hollow Road, Jamestown, KY 42629 or Hospice of Lake Cumberland, 100 Parkway Drive, Somerset, KY 42503.
