Carlos Alberto Cortes

Those who knew Carlos will remember a man who brought lightness to everyday moments—his sense of humor offering comfort, connection, and a welcome ease in the company of others. He carried that spirit into the routines that made a home feel steady and cared for.

Carlos especially enjoyed vacations and spending time with his family. He could often be found watching the History Channel, taking interest in the stories that shaped the world. He also liked to fix things, approaching life with practical hands and a willingness to make what was broken work again. He was fond of *Rocky*, the movie, and Rocky, their dog—both sources of companionship and familiar happiness.

He is survived by his wife Kerri; his children; Melissa, Carlos Jr. and Alexia; his grandchildren; Aiden, CJ, Adrian and Xavier, and his brothers; Antero, Juan and Jorge.

He is preceded in death by his parents Jose Antero and Maria Esther; and his aunts Elsa and Ena.
