Carson enlisted in the United States Army in 1954. While serving he was trained as a crane operator and helped build several buildings. He was also trained as a Military Police Officer. After being honorably discharged in 1957 he was awarded the Good Conduct Medal. Carson went on to marry Shirley Hubbard on November 27, 1957 in Wise Virginia; together they moved to Washington in 1958. He worked for Weyerhaeuser for 35 years until his retirement in 1998. He was a member of the Crossroads Church in Raymond, the V.F.W. and a member of the IWA. Carson enjoyed hunting and fishing, carpentry and gardening, he always had a project. He and Shirley traveled around the country to all 50 states; including many trips to see family in Virginia.
