I can’t believe this!! I just saw Carlos a few weeks ago . He has always been a great friend and helped me out with several projects . He is probably one of the few people I would ever speak Portuguese with. So many memories of talking about Ronaldo, the Portuguese National team, Benfica, his love of driving across the USA. He had so many funny stories. I am totally shocked and saddened by this horrible news. RIP

I can not believe you are gone, way to soon. You were an amazing friend to me. You made a huge difference in my life. We spent the last month together as you made a beautiful pergola for me and an awesome pony wall. You remodeled my entire home and did an amazing job. You were always helpful, patient, trustworthy, hardworking and always went the extra mile. I was planning on seeing you Monday, to paint my barn but that day never came. My heart is broken for you and your family. I have...

We are still in disbelief that Carlos is no longer with us. What a wonderful friend/family member he was to us.
We are comforted knowing that he lived life to the fullest. Worked hard and “played” just as hard.
What an honor and a blessing to us to have been a part of his life. Such a loving husband, father and friend who will be so sorely missed.
Rest in peace Slick. Until we
