Gregory David Carlson age 59, of Delran New Jersey passed away on July 9, 2021 following a brief illness. In a life which was all too short Greg was many things to many people.

He was an athlete and martial arts competitor. He shared with his daughters a love of equestrian activities and was active at Wood Edge Stables. Greg also devoted countless hours to coaching his daughters’ soccer teams, an activity which gave him great joy.

In addition to his commitment to his family, Greg was a businessman and entrepreneur, who worked for Evers Corporation, Marshall Industrial Technology, and as a self-employed engineering consultant, work which took Greg around the world to five continents. Greg was also devoted to community service and was a past member of the Delran Sewage Authority.
