Paul David Carson, age 70, of Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 25, 2025. He was born in Portsmouth, Ohio, on May 9, 1954, to William Carson and Helen Brown.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, William and Helen Carson. He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife of 40 years, Lu-Ann Carson (née Owens); his daughter, Monica (Grant Thomas) Carson; his son, Nicholas Carson; his cherished dog, Bailey and grand dog, Dexter; his sister, Sharon (Patrick) Carty; and many other family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

Known for his warm spirit and sense of humor, Paul had a unique ability to brighten any room he entered. His dedication to his family was evident in his enthusiasm for coaching his children's sporting events, where he proudly celebrated their achievements. A generous and kind-hearted man, Paul was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Paul had a passion for lawn care, finding joy in cutting grass, weed whacking, and mulching, while also cherishing his quiet moments of rest. Paul had a passion for music, especially Bruce Springsteen. He shared a deep bond with his wife, ensuring her safety during her travels with thoughtful calls. Throughout his life, he embodied resilience and courage, inspiring those around him with his unwavering spirit. Paul was able to donate his corneas as his final gift of generosity. 

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Stray Haven Pet Rescue, P.O. Box 571, Aurora, IN 47001.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
