Dear Ceci, Eli, Emi, Maria, and Family,

I can hardly find the words to fully describe how kind and caring Carlos was. He was one of the best friend's I've ever had at the CU. His smile and funny antics were such a joy to be around, he always made everyone laugh until they cried. He will be missed here on earth by so many, but his new job as an Angel was needed more in heaven. I'm grateful for the years we worked together and how I was able to meet Ceci and the kids when he changed the spark plugs in my car. So many memories, it still seems like just yesterday. 
I will miss my friend and he will forever be in my heart.

Please know that each of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God grant you the peace and comfort during this time.

My brother inlaw my freind. I will miss your smile all your kindness the good times we had.

Carlos you and your story was so inspirational. The love between your sister and yourself is rare and beautiful. You have a very loving family. 
I know your looking down on everyone and smiling, knowing that support will continue. I know you are now at peace and even though you are no longer here on earth there will not be a day that goes by were you are not thought of or missed by so many. Just As your departure caused sorrow It will also bring smiles and laughter because it will cause so many to think of and remember all the good times they had with you. Your memory will go on. 
With much love and admiration

Ceci, Eli and Emi, Maria, Jason and Family,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of Carlos.  He was a good Dad, Husband, Brother and Friend. He will be missed by so many but especially his wonderful family. I pray that God will comfort all of you during this difficult time. Carlos was an amazing friend to me and I will forever hold his memory in my heart.  My love to all of you.

Ceci and family, 
My heart and prayers are with all of you. I miss seeing you and Carlos everyday. We have become good friends and I cherish our time we have had together. We talked about everything and anything and had a lot of laughs. I loved to make Carlos smile and will never forget his beautiful smile and long eyelashes. He kept us on our toes and didn't let us forget anything. I truly enjoyed the time we had together and am honored to be a part of your lives and help in any way I could. I will always be here for you.

Maria & Ceci, my heartfelt sadness goes out for you and your family.  But now all Carlos' struggles are over and he is at peace- no more suffering, no more tears, no more pain.  love to you both.
Jan V.

Ceci, God give you strength to accept his decision, you don't know me but I knew about your husband illness because your sister Cristina Rico share it with me I prayed for him and you more than once and now lets pray for him and thank God for taking him because now he's not suffering.  Rest in peace Mr. Cervantes.... ;-)

Tio/Nino Carlos,
   Where to even begin?... First of all, a Guinness world record sized "Thank you!" is in order. From the moment I was potty-trained, you took me on many adventures: Taught me to drive your bug at the ripe age of 5, took me to my first Dodgers game, went to the drag races, and you treated me like a son/side-kick. I'll never forget the many Christmas' in which you'd sneak off and pretend to be Santa delivering me a new bicycle on the front porch. Your love and generosity were second to none, and have helped me become the man I am today. You will be greatly missed, but may you rest in peace, and know that Ceci, Emi, and Eli will be taken care of by everyone that loved you.

"Coño!" :)

My deepest condolences to your entire family Maria and Ceci. May God bless and give you strength during this difficult time. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel named Carlos who will forever be in your heart.

May you rest in peace Carlos. 
We love you so much.

Chuck... Thanks for being an amazing buddy!  You met me as an awkward 10 year old and saw me blossom into clumsy adult... You saw me mature from only focused on me... to being partner to Max and mother to Charlotte... I will always cherish our memories... (starting the bug on 3rd - and you making me cry, getting my 1st speeding ticket - cause you told me take it, finding that awesome bridge somewhere in LA and never finding it again, you waking me up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday or putting me on your shoulders as you rode a bicycle and jumped off curbs...) I will miss your physical being but you will always be with me in my heart...  I love you... and will be just a heart beat away from Ceci, Emi and Eli... 

Love you Chuckle Berry Hound!
Christy...

Maria, Ceci, Emi, Eli and family - I am so very sorry for your loss. Carlos was an amazing human being....selfless, thoughtful, genuine...an amazing spirit that made an impact on this world.

More than 25 years ago, Carlos was responsible for bringing me to my true passion and career, credit unions.  He helped me get hired on and was my trainer. We shared a love for VW's and he helped me rebuild the engine on my '63 bug.  

We connected every once in a while and he talked about his amazing family. He was so proud of you. 

I'm so sorry I lost touch when I moved, I had no idea that Carlos was fighting such a battle. My heart sank at the news. 

I wish you strength and love. Carlos will be missed. 

Carlos, rest in peace. Thank you for your guidance and spirit. Until we meet again.

Carlitos, you are going to be miss am truly grateful of knowing you since childhood.I remember the great times we had at Saint Matthias dances, going to terminal island speedway to watch the car races. R.I.P. Bro till we meet again on the other side.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May he RIP in heaven surrounded by peace a happiness as he watches over you all.  I pray in the name of Jesus.

Charlie, I had the honor of having known you since childhood. I will always remember you as a kind, warm hearted person. Rest in peace my friend.

My thoughts prayers meditations and love for your family ... I am a friend and colleague of Christina's and care for her deeply ... May Carlos' love and memory be with you always ...

May this candle burn as bright as the loving bond you and your brother shared...

Carlos and his entire family inspired me in so many ways over the last few years. One of the strongest families I have ever met. But more important, a family filled with so much love and devotion. Carlos will continue to live on in all of you. Peace, love and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. I only met Carlos one time at Maria's but felt like I knew the whole family through Maria these last few years. My prayers for comfort is with the family. Jody Henderson

Carlos the courage, strength, dedication, fight & love you showed your family only says you were one AWESOME, Son, Brother, Husband, Father, God Father and friend. May you dance and be free of all pain, Rest in Peace Carlos.

Chucho,.. I miss you so much my brother. I miss joking around with you and cracking up. Talking about visiting Cuba,. Fixing up Emi's Ghia,. Being able to afford floor seats at a Championship Laker game,.. and listening to good music. I will never forget you & your genuine care & love of others. You taught me so much,.. and you had a gift for bringing people together making each individual feel like you had been friends with them for years. Asta Pronto primo que Dios te tenga en su Gloria and I will see you again. Say hello to Alex for me.

Sweet Carlos, I will always remember your welcoming personality and eagerness to help anyone who was in need. Most of all, I will remember your beautiful warm HEART.     It is an honor to have worked with you all those years. To your amazing family who has been so strong for you, I know you are so proud, I pray for their journey ahead.       Al and Angela Ghilarducci

Nino Carlos,

I miss you already. You have and always be an important person in my life. Your generosity, enthusiasm (especially for VWs), and love will forever be remembered. I am grateful for everything that you have done for me throughout my life and will cherish the memories of all the great times we had together. Every time I go bowling, eat a beef bowl, smoke a cigar, watch an SDSU game, or see a bug, I'll be thinking of you. 

I know that when I go on all my crazy adventures (scuba/sky diving, white water rafting, traveling abroad, etc.) I will always feel protected because I'll have you watching me from above. I promise to always make you proud and live life to the fullest.

Love,
Steven

My Dear Carlitos, I have so much to say, yet I can't seem to find the words. but, thank you is all that comes to mind. Thank you for always being there,thank you for your neverending support, thank you for all the love you rendered especially to my boys. Thank you my beautiful brother for for allowing us to be part of your life. I love you and miss you so much, I am grateful that you are now resting and in the presence of our Lord. Till we meet again. Love Nana

Dearest Family,
Carlos loved you so intensely that he fought so hard to remain with you. He left you with so many memories to fill your heart to help ease the pain. We miss his smile, his humorous ways, the love in which he lived each day. These days my mind is flooded with thoughts of him. So many moments that evoke a smile or a chuckle. Let's celebrate him in joyfully. I love you Ceci, Emi, and Eli.

My dear sweet friend, I will miss you so much, but I know one day we will see each other again.

My deepest sympathy to the Cervantes Family.  Cherish your fond memories.  We all look forward to the day John 5:25 will come true for all the ones we loved and loss.

My Sweet Brother--
I am so proud of your courage & bravery throughout your battle. You are an inspiration to many & a hero to me. My love for you is endless & my bond with you unbreakable. I am truly blessed to have you as my brother. I will forever cherish our memories & laughter. I know I'll see you again. 

Amor eterno e inolvidable
Tarde o temprano 
yo estare contigo para

CARE FOR CARLOS

Dearest Carlos, I just want to personally thank you for allowing me to be part your family. I have to admit, I was a little nervous the day I asked for Maria's hand in marriage, but you made me feel very comfortable and welcome from day one. The opportunity to be part of something wonderful has been an experience I will cherish forever and I will do my best to help keep that going in your honor. You are a great friend to many who always put the needs of others before your own and a wonderful Husband and Father that I greatly admire and strive to be myself. Heaven has gained a servant guardian angel who we know will be watching over all of us. Rest in peace my Brother-in-law knowing your strength, humility, passion and smile are in the hearts of all that you touched dearly.
