He accepted the hand of his savior to which He had given his life and trusted in His restoring and sustaining power to see him home. Milton was born on June 28, 1944 to Milton Harwell Carson Sr. and Marita Ella (Jordan) Carson in Newark, New Jersey. He grew up in the church and valued his Christian education. Upon accepting responsibility for his faith, he had his confirmation in 1956. Milton attended school in Asbury Park, a small seaside city on the New Jersey coast. Known in the village as Kit and Topper, Milton graduated high school in 1962. Thereafter, he swore an oath of enlistment with the United States Air Force. He was faithful to his country stateside and in numerous deployments. Milton completed twenty-two years and four months of service and was honorably discharged on August 31, 1985 at Patrick AFB located on the East Coast of central Florida as Cable Antenna Systems/Installation Supervisor. During his extensive military career, Milton received numerous decorations, medals and ribbons. He was the recipient of the Meritorious Service Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon, NCO Professional Military Education Ribbon, Air Force Longevity Service Award Ribbon, W/4 OLC (Oak Leaf Cluster), National Defense Service Medal, Air Force Overseas Service Long Tour Ribbon, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, Air Force Good Conduct Medal, w/6 OLC (Oak Leaf Cluster) and TAC NCO Academy.

His occupation took him to Kadena AFB, (Japan), Kelly AFB (San Antonio, TX), Patrick AFB, (Florida), Bergstrom AFB (Austin, TX), RAF Croughton (England), Sheppard AFB (Wichita Falls, TX) and Thule AFB, (island of Greenland). Following his military career, Milton decided to use his mechanical skills and became a mechanic for several years for various employers. He enjoyed the names of Unk and the Magician. If it was broken, Milton could fix it! Milton joins his parents Milton Sr. and Marita, as well as his stepson, Victor Gerard Gibson in eternal rest. He leaves cherished memories to his loving wife, Jessie Mae Mercer Carson (Austin, TX), two sons Milton Carson III (Cary, North Carolina) and Todd Eugene Carson (Austin, TX).
