Carleton Henry Morrison Jr.

Carleton Henry Morrison Jr. (75 years old) passed away tragically in Petaluma, Calif., the evening of April 6, 2018, from a plane crash as he was flying his private plane home from a business trip.

Carl was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Carleton Henry Morrison Sr. and Linnea Setterlind, the oldest of three children. He will be remembered as a man who loved his faith, his country, and most importantly his family.

He was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in various responsibilities throughout his life, including Bishop, Mission President of the Spain Las Palmas Mission, a Sealer in the San Diego Temple, and most recently an Area Seventy executive secretary.

He was a retired Lt. Colonel serving 20 years in the Marine Corps as a Judge Advocate, a veteran of the Vietnam War, and a Vice Commander of the Pacific Region in the Civil Air Patrol. After retiring from the Marine Corps, Carl started a successful environmental public relations business, as well as his own private law firm.

He is survived by the love of his life and dear wife, Mary; children Robert (Shannon), Stephanie (Michael), Michael (Christina), Steven (Erin), James (Kadee), Christine (Marco); 23 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
