Carl Bernard Paris

Carl worked for over 20+ years at Arrowhead Water, first as a maintenance mechanic, and then he was promoted to purchasing. He was very proud of that achievement and was very much loved and respected during his years at Arrowhead.

He grew up with a father and brothers that loved working on cars, and from that he gained a knowledge and love for working on old classic cars. In the past 20+ years he owned and restored three classic cars. His last one, a 1955 Chevy, was by far his favorite. Some of his most favorite times were of going to car shows with his wife, Maria, his sister JoAnn and his brother, Jim, and all his other car friends.

Carl’s most favorite times were spending time with his family, eating Italian food made by him, and his family. Those were the times where he was the happiest and most at peace. Everyone loved his sauce and always requested it at every family function. His love for his family was very strong and they were always the most important thing to him.

Lastly, Carl loved his two fur-babies, Maggie, and Abby. They were his constant companions, and they gave him lots of joy and love.

Carl was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Rita; his brothers, Jerry Paris, Fred Paris, Jr., and Don Paris; and his children, Tony Woods, and Adriana Sanchez Davies.

Survivors include his loving wife of 23 years, Maria C. Paris; his children, Terry Woods and wife Marylou, Jason Paris, Nick Paris and wife Marley, Marcus Paris and wife Andrea, Shannon Paris and husband Gil Menendez, Michael Lopez, and Billy Sanchez; his brother, Rick Paris and wife Mary; his sister, JoAnn Balderrama and husband Jim; 16 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
