Dear family of Carlos.  I am a friend that meet Carlos at Valentino's.  He was a wonderful person and a true gentleman.  He had high hopes and know he would have had an exciting life.  We never know why our God takes someone so young, but it was God's plan not ours.   I only speak English but Carlos Memorial Service was beautiful.  I will always remember his service especially with all of his family and friends that attended.  I pray to God that Our Lord will keep us all in His loving, healing arms as we love and miss Carlos.   🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤

Where do I beginning..
This still feels unreal,Very Heartbreaking that you left so soon Carlos ,Such a young & Bright person, Full of life. My heart aches for your mom, Watch over her always and give her the strength she needs.
Thank you for being the best uncle to my kids , & babysitter lol it’s funny cus I can already hear you say “I retired already” I’m happy that the kids got the chance to grow a bond with you . They loved being around you ,Tu bola de Manteca (Gorda) & Dodo (juju) will miss you so much! I will remind them about you & tell them about los nombres que les pusiste con mucho carino. I’m miss those messages you saying “how’s my favorite sister n law “ ya sabía que querías algo , Even though it was so hard to say No to you just For the simple fact that you were always helping us & others without asking for anything in return . I will forever  cherish all the  good memories about you and pictures that you left us. 

May you rest in paradise<3 
Forever and always loved & truly missed . Till we meet again , Fly high Carlos 


To my little big brother. You left without warning. Now all i have left is your memories and I will cherish them forever. Those special memories of you will always bring a smile. There's not a day that i don't think about you. If only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could talk again and hear you ask me again so I'm gonna baptize Layla still with a big smile on your face. You will forever be Layla's nino or talking to mia and belle while playing video games with Alfonso they would get so excited and be like it's my uncle Carlos mom. I still can't believe it. This one is a tuff one. I'm speechless and heartbroken. I miss you little brother and I love you. 

Damn little brother I don’t even know where to start I still can’t believe you’re gone this still feels so unreal I wish it was a bad dream and I woke up from it. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and I keep asking myself why you why did this happen to you you were such a good kid always cared for others and always help without asking for anything in return thank you for always being there for your nephew Jayden and not only him you were there for all of your nephews they all loved you they are all going to truly miss you so much. Nothing will ever be the same without you we are all so heartbroken 💔 but hopefully you are with our dad having a good time because I know you miss him a lot and watch over all of us especially our mom because she really misses you so much but only God knows why things happen I hope you rest in peace little brother I love you so much and this is not a goodbye this is an I will see you one day again 

Dear Carlos,
Thank you for everything you did for me and my papash daniel, thank you for loving him the way you did I wish he had the chance to grow up with you you were the best tio to him. Almost every night after work you would come into my room just to tickle him and I would scream to you to leave him alone I would give anything to have that again you always brought a huge smile to his face he loves you so much. We had tough love for each other and I didn't tell you this enough but I truly love you you were such a loving and happy person you were an angel such a pure soul you had so many plans ahead of you but god had other plans for you I was excited to see you grow and take care of mom because she was never going to leave your side she loves you so much I pray to god he gives her the strength to overcome this. God put me and her in a position to hold you until you took your last breath and it was the hardest thing to do. I pray to god he helps us both have peace in our heart because watching you leave this earth broke our hearts into a million pieces. I promise to stick by moms side I will help her move forward one day at a time because I know you don't like seeing her like this you always wanted her to be happy and one day she will be able to again once she feels you at peace. I hope you are resting in peace with dad enjoy him forever bro. Your memory will live in us forever. Until we meet again little bro I love you Rest In Peace ❤️😞🙏

"Vaca Lola" I Remember The First Time Hearing You Say THAT To Me ! I hated it at first, Man always clowning on me. You have no idea, how much I'm going to miss you saying that 😔 This all feels so unreal to me still, to any of us actually, it hurts so bad. My heart feels so broken, little pieces honestly. I still can’t even make sense that you are not here anymore. You leave us with so many memories, So I know they will help heal our hearts. My heart aches for you everyday  Carlitos 💔  Im so blessed to have the bond we have. Even though you said it was tough love but you showed me you loved me in your own way, bullying me 🤣 Our conversations were the funniest, saddest, deepest, realest, ama miss them ! I have so much I want to say to you, this isn't fair. The day will come, where I will get to see your face again, especially your smile ! I love you so much ! I hope you are having the best time in the skies with your dad & all the family ! Happy Heavenly 18th Birthday You Grownass Man 🥳 

Love Chata (Chada)

Carlos,
It feels so unreal knowing you will no longer be here with us. 
I am going to miss your laugh, your smile, and especially you calling my sisters LA VACA LOLA 
I know I didn’t tell you or heard it a lot from me but I love you so much and I am going to miss you… 
So many plans and goals you had and how I hoped you had accomplished them, but god had another plan for you. We will always keep your memories alive. 
LOVE YOU Carlos 

May you Rest In Peace Cuzzo love and miss you. You left us too soon but I know your happy in heaven with your pops. 🙏🏻♥️

LA VACA LOLA is going to miss you

Carlos, 
So many dreams and goals you had planned. Yet, God had another plan for you. To be by the side of your father, and to also lead your grandmother to his side. Your God parents will miss you dearly.  How to forget the last time I saw you. You came to say Hi to everyone always as humble as respectful and responsible that you were. I will keep that memory with me. Until me meet again.

Hi Carlitos , 
I love you , ❤️ can’t even make sense that you are not here , thank you for all the laughs 
Thank you for just being you, you are one of a kind , and damn we all we miss you . 

Love you ,

Betty C

Happy Birthday Brother❤️
I still can’t believe this is happening, it’s so hard to accept that we will no longer see you or hear you laugh. You had so many plans ahead of you ! I always got you in trouble when I would get a call from school but it worked you graduated early “ CONGRATULATIONS “ for that. You won’t be here to walk for your diploma but we will for you. I miss you brother and will forever love you.

A Message to Carlos,
I still dont know why i was called fat ass when you were fatter then me.  But with that being said I want to thank you for everything you did for me, all our memories, and most important being someone i could look up to. Growing up with you has been one of the best things I could ever ask for ,but your time here is done. I could go on and on explaining memories we have but i know for a fact that if you were still here you would've called me by now and said "fat ass hop on" or something dumb to make me laugh.
Before I go I just want to give you a 
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY
Thank you for everything, Ill see you again when its my time.
Rest In Peace
    -Fatass

As a teacher, there are certain students that will forever remain your “favorites”, Carlitos is one of my favorites. Despite a global pandemic,  he had a burning desire for a bright future and even graduated early. He was always on zoom with his classmates and I, learning and laughing. He was always a pleasure to talk to and I loved how confident and thoughtful his responses were during class discussions.  
I always felt Carlos was an old soul, since he acted older than his age. Especially when it came to how seriously he took being an uncle. He would say, “Ok Ms. I'll see you later, I have to take my nephew to Chik Fil A”.  He always expressed his love for his family. He was a remarkable young man and I know in time we will meet again. My deepest condolences to his beloved family.
