I am so very sorry to hear about Carson’s passing. Carson was such a wonderful addition to my first grade class at Brock Road. What a kind, bright, loving boy that I had the pleasure of knowing. I am praying for comfort for your family in this very tough time.
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Tell Nick, Carson will be watching from above! Swim Fast!! Lots of love.
Brewer Family – words cannot express how deeply saddened we are to hear about Carson’s tragic passing. We loved having him in our sixth grade Short Pump Junior Assembly Cotillion group. I was looking back at pictures from our Holly Ball dance and love the sweet picture of you, Mary, proudly dancing with Carson in your beautiful red dress and Carson so handsome and happy in his bowtie and blazer. I would love to pass on that picture to you all if you do not have it. May that night be one of an infinite number of special memories you hold onto forever. We want you all to know that we have asked our 6C students to help us honor Carson and your family by wearing a red ribbon that we will provide everyone at the dance on Saturday night, as we hear red was his favorite color. We are holding your entire family close in our hearts and pray you feel God’s comfort, peace and healing love.
I am one of the Deacons at Hope Church along with Bruce Berger whose son was on a team with Carson. I also want you all to know that our entire Deacon team prayed for you all on Tuesday night and would love to provide any support you all may need if that is helpful.
Sending you all lots of love, peace and prayers!
Dear Liz,
Thank you so much! I love that picture and made it my Facebook screen saver. It truly was a special night and my personal favorite. Thank you for your beautiful comments. I’m so thankful Carson could attend Junior Assembly Cotillion. It was a great experience. Thank you for the red ribbon honor. It is truly so special for you to offer it. It sounds great to us. Thank you!
Mary, Michael, Parker and Graham,
