I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Carlos at Parkview Community Hospital. There we became instant friends and our relationship evolved in family. Carlos was my brother and his wife Lydia is my sister. Carlos had a heart of gold and would do anything and everything for the ones he loved. He was the definition of selfless and I looked up to him. He was there after losing my dad and through so much more. I thank god that he brought him and Lydia in my life because they both have helped shape the person I am today.
Even though I moved out of state, we still talk often and were making plans for him and his family to visit me in Texas. My heart is broken that he isn't here anymore, but I know he is still watching out for his family and friends from Heaven.
With love ,
Janelle and Jonathan Patterson

Dear Lydia and Carlos jr.
I never had the pleasure of meeting your husband Lydia and your dad,Carlos jr.. but just with the brief time I got to meet you , He was a good man, to have raised such a fine young man. Everything I have seen written by your mom, shows the amount of love between them both. And of course you are the result of that precious love. I have always believed that when we go home to the Lord, God says we have finished what we were meant to do. I Know we try to understand the whys,but only God knows . I believe your dad was welcomed to his glory by the Lord telling him "welcome home good and faithful servant" He will b you and your mom's Angel keeping watch. And Lydia, you had the joy of knowing you were the love and he was yours of your lives. I will be here for you both always, anytime. God bless you both. Love Connie

I don't know if I can fully express what Carlos meant to me. We worked together every day and my day was not complete until we had our first laugh of the day. Los and I worked hard, laughed, cried, joked and even ate together. He was my protector and made me feel safe. Even after we no longer worked together, Los and I stayed in touch to see how the other was doing. We often talked about the crazy fun times at work. You will be forever missed big guy. You have a heart of gold and it was always your mission to take care of those around you. You were always so proud of Little Los and Lydia. They made you smile and I know your heart was full. Until we meet again, continue to protect those you left behind. Love you always.

Carlos....your presence could be intimidating to those who didn't know you...but those of us who did knew the gentle and kind man that you were. You were dedicated to your family that you loved with everything you had. You treated people with respect but you were also a no nonsense kind of guy. I could always count on a bear hug anytime I saw you. Your passing shocked so many and made us pause to ask if this really happened. So rest peacefully dear Carlos and smile down upon us. Keep Lydia and Carlitos under your watchful eye from Heaven.

I met Carlos at Parkview Community Hospital . He worked as a security guard at that time. I remember him always making sure we were safe. In our down time he was always cracking jokes. Every day I saw him he would make me laugh.
When I heard the news of his death it seriously hurt my heart. I loved him and Lydia, As a couple they inspired me to become better. Los ...You will be missed. 😥

My memory of Carlos are as a former coworker at Parkview Community Hospital where we worked for many years. Carlos was a man I could always count on to help if he was needed. He did it willingly and with a smile on his face. I will never forget his kind hearted ness. I pray you will rest in eternal peace knowing you were a good human being and will surely be missed by those that knew you.

From the moment little Carlos (as I call him) showed an interest in my daughter Bella, Carlos and Lydia lovingly welcomed not just Bella but our entire family into theirs. Carlos and Lydia treated Bella as their own and have always continued to do so.
Little Carlos asked Bella to be his date for the winter formal at Ramona High School. Lydia and I of course wanted tons of pictures so we ventured over to Riverwalk with the kids all dressed up before the dance. Once there, Little Carlos always the Gentleman (I'm sure learned by his father) gave Bella a piggy back ride down a steep hill because she was in heels and was having difficulty walking. Of course I got that pic!! Lol but my favorite part was Bella trying to pin on the Boutonniere to Little Carlos' jacket. We laughed as she poked herself and Big Carlos graciously took over pinning the flower on for her. We then took a "fake" pic of Bella "pinning" the flower. Carlos and Lydia then took the kids to dinner before dropping them off at the dance.
I have always been in awe of the young man Carlos and Lydia have raised. Such a caring loving sweet soul. My daughter, family, and I are blessed to have known and loved the Morton family.

I worked with Lydia and Carlos at Parkview hospital in Riverside. I worked there 2009-2018,not sure how long they worked there,seemed like the entire time I did. My memories of Carlos was nothing but warm and cozy thoughts. I remembered him always smiling,and willing to go above and beyond for coworkers,patients and anyone he knew or crossed paths with.. I remember Christmas parties with him and Lydia, they always looked stunning,super happy and in love. They were always talking about their son Carlos,and showing pictures of him and were very proud of all his accomplishments. May Carlos rest in peace and his family remember him for being an amazing Husband,Father, Son, Brother,Uncle and friend. Your presence will truly be missed. God bless the Morton family.

I remember Carlos when I worked at Parkview Community Hospital as a nurse, Manager of Patient Relations. Carlos at that time was a Security guard. In my position I would have to call security at different times to help with some issues with patients and families. Carlos was the sweetest guy, and always professional and helpful in my situations dealing with issues. I also knew his beautiful wife, Lydia who was the sweetest person. I knew that their love was so loving, and also their undying love for their son. I am so sorry for the loss of a gentle, beautiful man of God, loving husband and father. May you Rest in Heavenly Peace Carlos..

Rt 66 did this short story about a lowrider and his bomb.
The life and history of the two.
Big Carlos, Lil Carlos & the painter Art Ramos.
One of many great moments in the journey that has brought our family many get togethers.
This is the life that Carlos has raised our kids & grandkids in. They only know the lowrider life.
They are always down to support their Dad.
Now this bomb appearing in many of Nani's videos and sang about in his raps.
3rd generation of more memories for this family.
This car is not an idol. It serves the purpose of a man's love and teaching his kids family love, respect and loyalty.
So when you see a man cruising in his bomb, just know it's not about the money it took to get it there but the man that made is dream come. And the family he takes along for the ride.
Lowriding is a lifestyle, not a hobby. - Carlos Jr.
You live forever in our hearts and memories.
Thank you both for the previous time and place you keep in our hearts forever. ‘til we can hugs again...
We love and miss you JJ & Mommy!!!

JJ,
From the moment Mommy and Daddy brought me home from the hospital you were eager to love your baby sister. Mommy would tell me how much you wanted to see me and hold me. You were the best big brother. You were always trying to keep me from danger. You are only a year older but always made sure everyone knew that I was your baby sister. I tried to show you I was a big girl my whole life.
There is so much that was never said between us but me made amends and moved forward in life together. I never felt like we needed to talk about, what happen what should have happened, like true family we just let it go and picked up where we left off. Our break gave you time to realize and see with your own eyes that your “littlest” sister was grown and able. You always said I was mean and tough but the grown part was hard for you. I get that. I am just so happy that we got to a good point again.
Thank you for always loving me and my boys. Thank you for always taking good care of our parents. I completely enjoyed the last few years of birthdays and family celebrations we had together. So many memories we shared and laughed about. It all was truly good.
We have shared so many good, bad, hard and loving times together. They say no one in life knows what growing up was like but your siblings. It built us into the people we are and brother we were built to move mountains.
I didn’t know our last conversations would be our last. The last text or the last time I heard your voice. This is so unreal, I am in disbelief, my heart aches with every beat.
JJ you left us with your most precious gift, your son, Litos. I love him so much and will forever cherish him. Litos is a piece of you that shines like a gem. So smart, talented and your’s.
You always said take care of your family. Rest well JJ, our family is one. Paradise is your’s brother. I love you forever!

I met Carlos through his mom Sylvia who was my friend and supervisor. He took my son under his wings and showed him how to drive a tow truck. Carlos was a very kind person. He will be missed.

Although my relationship was closer with mama Lydia, Carlos also became a huge part of my life... without hesitation you let your wife take care of me and everything I needed during the toughest times of my life. Ever since I met Carlitos, the three of you gained a special place in my heart. Earth and the people who love you are saddened by your physical absence but your love and care is felt stronger now that you’re gone. I promise we’ll do whatever we can to take care of Mom down here... Carlitos couldn’t have a better mama... thank you for everything you did and allowed mom to do for me and mine while you were here... you are greatly missed and will be loved forever.
Sending an endless amount of hugs up to heaven for you, Carlos...
Love, Karla M.
