Officiating the ceremony is Brother Victor Carson, assisted by Brother Ben Carson. Kit was born on March 4, 1933 to James Henderson Carson and Beuna Adams Carson Gunter in Bossier City, Louisiana and passed away on Wednesday, March 3, 2021 in Bossier. Kit was a Louisiana State Wildlife Enforcement Agent that went "by the book" and adhered strictly to the Code of Wildlife Enforcement Ethics. He would write his own mother a ticket if warranted! He was a Senior Wildlife Agent when he retired with the Enforcement Division. He was a professional bass fisherman with a B.A.S.S. tournament trail. He was also an over-the-road truck driver. He served in the United States Navy during the Korean conflict. Varnum had a burning love for gardening, canning and sharing his bounty with family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, James Henderson "Sonny" Carson, Jr. and John Paul Carson. Left to cherish his memory is his loving bonus mother, Aline Young Carson; brothers, George Joseph "Joe" Carson and wife, Ginger, David Benjamin "Ben" Carson and wife, Martha and Victor Hubert Carson and wife, Theresa; sister, Marguerite Carson Mills and husband, Rick and numerous nieces and nephews. Honoring Kit as pallbearers will be James "Kip" Carson, Johnathan "Harmon" Carson, Ben Carson, Jr., and Sgt. Troy Parker. Honorary pallbearers will be Sgt. Wesley Walker and Sgt. Billy Crawford. The family would like to express special thanks to the dedicated nurses and staff of Northwest Louisiana War Veterans Home in Bossier City for years of selfless love and compassionate dedication. Many thanks to special nursing friend, Cathy Palmer. The family also wants to thank Calvin and Evelyn Murray for all the help and concern shown to Kit throughout the years. The family would appreciate all the Covid guidelines to be followed.
