Carson was a beloved son, brother, and friend to so many people. Everybody who was touched by his existence knows how special and unique his soul was and cherishes the memories we have of him. Carson never failed to put a smile on the face of anyone who he was interacting with. His selfless character put the happiness of all his friends and family before his own, and this beautiful quality of Carson would ultimately lead to his tragic end. On March 2nd, 2023 Carson's loved ones would painfully learn that he had taken his own life at sometime during the night. While we are rightfully confused and saddened by the questions left unanswered, we know that Carson would want us all to keep moving forward purposefully and full of joy, smiling the whole way on. We ask that you help support the Baranek family as they go through this very difficult time by donating whatever you can as arrangements are being made to properly lay their beautiful boy to rest. We love you, Carson, rest in peace. Phi Alpha, brother.
