Daniel Peter Carlson, known as Dan, died at the age of 83 on December 19, 2021, from heart difficulties surrounded by his family at the Pinedale Medical Clinic.

Ruben and Hazel Carlson were the parents of two boys with Dan being the youngest. Dan was born in Pinedale on August 10, 1938 in the house he grew up in.
