MUSCATINE, Iowa -- David Leo Carlson, 40, Muscatine, formerly of Sibley, died Tuesday,
June 14, 2005, after a brave battle with Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Memorials may be given to the American Cancer Society specifically for Melanoma research,
Big Brothers and Big Sisters, American Red Cross or the Humane Society. A memorial
scholarship has been established in his name at WITCC especially for Spanish speaking
students.
He was an avid golfer and a very caring friend. He enjoyed Hawkeye football, the Green Bay
Packers and Pearl City Rugby Club. He was a huge fan of musical artist Prince. His wit and
charm will be missed.

helping Spanish speaking clients find employment.
He enjoyed teaching several semesters at Muscatine Community College. He was a board
member of the Louisa-Muscatine Red Cross and active in Big Brothers and Big Sisters
organizations.
