Daniel Donald Carlson

Our Hero and Angel

​Age 58, of Vadnais Heights, passed away peacefully, following a courageous battle with a rare lung disease on November 26, 2019. 

Preceded in death by father, Donald; and father-in-law, Richard Keran.

Dan was a devoted teacher who went out of his way for the child that needed inclusion. He also absolutely loved doing magic tricks for the kids and all of his nieces & nephews. The thing we loved most about Dan was his huge heart. He made a big impact on many lives through acts of kindness.
