Thomas Robert Carlson, age 56.
On Tuesday, January 5th, Tom Carlson of St. Paul (formerly of Andover) passed away. He went to be with our Lord and our mom, whom he loved both dearly. We are thinking Tom and mom are cleaning
together again.

Tom was preceded in death by Arlene Carlson (mother). He was survived by long time love, Wendy Lewis. He is also survived by Richard Carlson (father), Rich Carlson (Brenda), Cathy Smiley (Jim), Tim Carlson, Kelly Riebe (Ric), Kristy Stumo (Kraig), many nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, friends, and Wendy's children, grandchildren and family.

Tom was a 1977 graduate of Anoka High School. Tom was employed by Thiele Technologies of Minneapolis since 2002. He thoroughly enjoyed his years at Thiele and considered them all family.

Tom, with his big smile, will be deeply missed by all.
His heart was larger than the new Vikings Stadium.
His giving spirit and his willingness to help anyone is something we will all remember .

Tom's Memorial Service will be held Monday, January 11, 2016 at 4 PM with a visiting time starting at 3 PM at Thurston-DeShaw Funeral Home, 13817 Jay St. NW, Andover. In lieu of flowers Memorials preferred to the family.
