Carson Reid Chrapkowski

Carson Chrapkowski, age 14, of Middleton, Idaho, passed away on September 19, 2026, leaving an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew him. Born on May 10, 2012, Carson brought an irrepressible warmth, energy, and joy into the world from his very first day, giving everyone a new title as Mom, Nana, and Papa.

Carson was the absolute heart of his home and a cherished light in his community. He was known for his jokes, kind heart, and deep talks, his favorite aunt’s sweet cheeks, and being a helping hand and leftover eater. He lived his 14 years with a vibrant spirit that was truly meant to change something in this world. Whether he was out riding his bike; going on Pokémon runs with his friends, Uncle Rod, or Tommy; watching South Park or movies his Uncle Hunter suggested; hanging out at home giving us crap; making his siblings eat worms and dandelions; swindling Nana for some extra cash for food; or sharing pictures with Uncle Brandon of the stars from camping trips, Carson threw his whole heart into everything he did, making sure he made Tommy proud while putting his big foot through ceilings at Papa’s jobsite. His light shone brightly in every room he walked into, every football field he stepped on, leaving an unforgettable mark on everyone blessed to know him.

Carson is deeply loved and survived by his mother, Jade, and dad, Tommy Nelson; his siblings; his grandparents; as well as a vast circle of aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends who adored him beyond measure.

While his time with us was far too short, Carson taught everyone around him that love is the anchor that holds us through life's deepest storms, and that true impact isn't measured in years, but in the hearts we touch. His legacy of kindness, laughter, and love will live on forever. We love you, big guy. LLC (Live like Carson)
