Tribute

Carson Donald Holmes

Carson was born in Duncan and lived most of his life on Vancouver Island. He was kind, funny, and always had something interesting to talk about.

With many talents, including music, math, science and cooking, Carson struggled to find his life direction, but had finally decided to follow his father to the woods. He was halfway through the Forestry Resource Technology program at VIU.

Carson loved family gatherings, and he was adored by both grandmothers and children for his patience and kindness. He is survived by his parents, Don Holmes (Mel) and Kathryn Holopainen (Scott). His sister Raili Holmes will miss not just her brother, but her best friend. Carson is warmly remembered by his friends and classmates, and by many aunts, uncles and cousins across Canada and in Finland.

No service. Remember him by cooking or eating a fine meal, by going for a hike in the woods or a fast run down a ski hill, but most of all by hugging your loved ones.

Don sorry to hear this condolences my friend

From: Cheryl Gibb
Relation: Neighbor and my sons best friend

We are all so very saddened and heartbroken to hear this news.
Carson was always at our house while growing up. Carson was a part of our family.
I would be in the kitchen and hear Carson come into the house and two step it up the stairs, say “hi Cheryl and Is Wyatt home”? Carson always had a smile on his face, was always happy and was the politest boy we knew. Our son Wyatt met Carson when he was 5 yrs old, and they were best friends throughout their youth. Carson and Wyatt had so many great times together.
Thank Goodness for All of our Many Cherished memories of Carson.
You are in hearts forever Carson! ❤️
Deepest Condolences to you Don, Catheryn and Raili

I remember Carson when he was a teen and these relative strangers ( us)showed up early for a visit … he was such a great host for several hours till you guys got home. I fondly remember how he made us so comfortable. I was always welcome in your home as a child Don and it felt like the tradition continued. Thank you for sharing your family with our family.

From: James Lis
Relation: Best Friend

Carson had been one of my oldest and dearest friends since the age of 10. We would speak several times a week and shared many great adventures over our near 2 decades of friendship. I am so deeply saddened by his passing, and I feel like a part of myself has been lost. I will always cherish the amazing memories, and the joy he brought to my life.
