Daniel P. Carson

Age 74, of Minerva, passed away, Saturday, August 8, 2026 in the Aultman-Woodlawn Compassionate Care Center. He was born April 1, 1952 in Alliance to Eleanor (Myers) Carson of Minerva and the late Paul Carson. He retired as an engineer from PCC Airfoils after 47 years. He graduated from Minerva High School in 1970 and also attended Kent State University.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife, Lora (Hinton) Carson, son, Clint T. Carson (Bridget Reagan) of Minerva, daughter, Devon L. Carson (Matt Morrison) of Cincinnati, two sisters, Linda (Kenny) Pitts of Columbus, Darlene Lutz (Joe Hart) of Minerva and a grandson, Sylar G. Carson of Minerva. He is preceded in death by his father and two brothers, Rodney and David Carson.

Dan was an avid golfer and sports fan, especially when it came to watching the OSU Buckeyes. Anyone that worked with Dan appreciated his dedication and willingness to help everyone, with whatever he could. If you met him, you loved him. He cherished his friends (especially his partner in crime, Oz), loved to laugh and have fun. Dan's greatest love was his family. He never missed a chance to talk about how proud he was of Clint, Devon and Sylar and their accomplishments. Dan and Lora were together for 25 years and were truly meant for each other. Family, friends, laughter and the dances they shared, kept them young at heart.

Following cremation, a Celebration of Life will be planned for a later date. Those wishing to send condolences may sign the online register at www.gotschallfuneralhome.com.

The family would like to thank the amazing staff at Aultman Compassionate Care at Woodlawn, during this very difficult time.
