Miss you Carlos. Miss your friendship and playing together on the Columbia soccer fields.
Rest in peace, Eric

Dearest Family of Carlos (Los) - I am so sorry for 'our' loss of this very fine man, (my) brother, cousin and best friend a sister-friend could ever ask for.  Carlos has been in my life since he made me my 1st sesame bagel back in 1992, and he and I have been besties ever since. He integrated into my family as if he were born into our 'crazy', but when I got crazy or upset, he ALWAYS knew how to calm me and even came up with his own awesome phrase I will share with you all to hold tight to when LIFE starts to beat YOU up. He would see me getting upset, come over to me and put his hands on my shoulders and say, 'you gotta blow that s--t out!' Carlos style! I was crying 2 days ago outside  in nature and getting angry at Life for taking my Bro, and as if he were sitting right next to me, I heard his voice say those words, 'sis, you gotta blow that 's--t out.' He did. God bless your FREE SPIRIT, mi hermano, mi amor. I missed you yesterday and now FOREVER, my Love. RIP with Mama and Woodie.

I played soccer for many years with Carlos and enjoyed our time together on and off the field.  Along with complementing each other well with our play on the field,  we both took turns coaching our Tuesday night coed soccer team.  Since his birthday was Nov. 1 and mine Nov. 4, we would each wish the other happy birthday at the same time every year.  In the last few years, I’ve followed his travels to Colombia on Facebook and couldn’t believe all the pictures of daring and fun activities he would post from zip lining to rappelling down waterfalls to snorkeling/scuba diving to flying through the air in a parachute or was it a  paraglider?
In my mind, I always hoped we would once again join up and play soccer again in our 50s.  Farewell friend.  My memories of you will stay with me for as long as I live.
Thank you and rest in peace.  
Your teammate, Eric
