Carlos was a remarkable scientist. He had
incredible intelligence, intuition and vision, which
made him among one of the most cited and high impact
chemists in the whole world.
All the cherished memory working together with him will keep in my
mind forever! I will always remember his smiling face, his
good sense of humor. He will be in my thoughts forever. His spirit lives in my
heart now and forever. Thank you, Carlos!

Carlos we will miss you very much! You were truly a unique presence in both of our lives, thank you for being such a good friend!!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

The entire Eckerd College Community deeply mourns the loss of our friend and classmate Carlos. We were in awe of you as a person and as a professional. May your family find peace at this horribly difficult time.

Carlos was brilliant. He was also genuinely kind, deeply compassionate, and humble. What a wonderful combination. I feel so fortunate to have known him. He did great work in efforts to benefit others. He is missed by many. But through his work, many will thrive. Thank you, Carlos!

Usually we say in my religion, "May his memory be eternal." In Carlos' case, his memory WILL BE eternal due to the tremendous advances he made in his chosen professional career. A truly brilliant man with a heart of gold.

Carlos, well done in this life...no telling what you'll top it with next! I am grateful to have known you, largely through your mom, but I was a huge fan wishing you well from afar!

It is apparent Carlos touched the hearts of many across the world not only through his work but with this sweet nature. My thoughts and prayers are with your family Carlos, you will be greatly missed.

So sorry for your loss, may his memory live on in the lives of those influenced by him, be comforted by prayers in the God of hope and tender mercies, fond memories and the love and support of family and friends
