When he had saved sufficient funds, he purchased one of the first pump trucks in the area and began selling fuel oil to homes in Greensboro.
His affiliation with the YMCA began as a young boy. When he was a little older, he would give young boys movie money if they could recite verses from the Bible. The YMCA always held a special place in his heart. He is a life member of the YMCA. Carson served on the Board of Directors of both Bennett College and NC A&T University. He was also President of Piedmont Associated Industries.

He married Fanny in 1987. The family wishes to publically thank Fanny Bain for her tireless efforts in her role as primary caregiver for Carson Bain in his fight against Alzheimer’s disease. With her 24/7 love and devotion, he was able to live at home for the 13 years he struggled with the disease.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 122 N. Elm Street, Greensboro, NC 27401-2818, or to the Carson Bain Memorial Scholarship at the YMCA, 620 Green Valley Road, Suite 210, Greensboro, NC 27408.
