Jeff Carleson, age 31, passed away due to natural causes.

Our brother, son and friend has been set free to roam the wilderness he loved.He was a gentle giant, his heart and sensitivity greatly belying his physical presence. He was loved by all who were touched by his spirit and unconditional love. He appreciated beauty wherever he found it. Music helped him to understand his own emotions. His sense of humor was unequaled as anyone who knew him could attest. He loved to laugh and to hear those he loved laugh with him.

Our lives will be much emptier without your innocent spirit Jeff, but we take comfort in knowing that you are now running free without the confines of mortal life. We love you more than mere words can express and we will never forget you. We are thankful that you graced our world if only for a short time and hope you have now found the peace that eluded you in the material world.

You will live in our hearts forever.
