Carlos Enrique Romero, M.D.

Carlos Enrique Romero, MD, passed away on September 7, 2019 in Houston, Texas at the age of 75, loved by his family and friends. He was a man filled with enthusiasm for life, friendship and the practice of medicine. A native of Guayaquil, Ecuador, his passion, drive and inexhaustible determination lead him to discover and live the American dream with his family in the great state of Texas.

After graduating from the University of Guayaquil’s School of Medicine, he continued his medical training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. His professional career allowed him to serve with dedication countless Houstonians in the demanding field of Anesthesiology.

His love of conversation, fellowship and building bridges across cultures served Dr. Romero well in his role as Honorary Consul of Ecuador in Houston. As a member of Houston’s Consular Corps for 34 years, he ceaselessly shared generous hospitality with Ecuadorians who traveled to Houston to receive world-class medical care.

He is survived by his wife and children. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. John Vianney Catholic Church in memory of “Carlos E. Romero, MD” at 625 Nottingham Oaks Trail, Houston, Texas 77079.
