Read MoreBeto had an amazing mind. How one person could store so much knowlege is still a mystery to me. As an educator, I admired hearing him; as my family, I enjoyed having him in our home. He was gifted and skilled and loved whole-heartedly. I can only hope to encounter more people like him. God rest his soul, and God bless the family and friends who mourn him.

I see his picture and I think he's still around, planning his next trip to Texas. He was an awesome and loving man to be around. All my love and prayers go to the Carrillo family. He is greatly missed by all who knew him well, and all who barely knew him. That's how much of an impact he had on every person who met him. God bless you.

Dear Carrillo Family, I will miss Gilberto and his beautiful smile. His heart was always in the right place - a very generous man. I loved his obituary and want to express to whomever put it together did a fantastic job of capturing the true essence of Gilberto. He will be in my thoughts and prayers, and to the Carrillo Family, God Bless you in your time of need.

I remember when I was an intern at Kern River, Gilbert always made me feel welcome and checked in on me to make sure that I was adjusting to Bakersfield. On my last day of the summer, he took several of us out to lunch and shared his inspiring personal story with us. He was a big part of the reason that I decided to join Chevron. I will miss him and always remember the empathy showed for others. Peace and blessings to his family, Uduak
