It´s been a while happened to come across your page... I remember hearing the mortar then them rushing you to the mash and taking you off the vehicle... Horrible day... Seems like yesterday... You could impersonate anyone you were gifted... Hope you´re in a good place!!

Amy and Tony. It's been years and my deepest condolences. I know Tony has passed as well but GOD Bless TJ n his father. Always Stan & Maria Falcon

Hey buddy! Another year has passed and yet another year I have not forgotten about my friend! You are loved and remembered daily as I still wear the bracelet bearing your name! Will never forget you my friend! Until we see each other again! Keep resting in peace....

16 years and it still feels like it just happened. I´m eternally grateful that I knew you. I am so proud of you for following your dreams and passions. The world is a better place because you were in it. I remember the last call vividly and I treasure that. You truly were one of my best friends. I´ll never forget you or your love for our great nation. Rest In Peace, Teejay.

Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let you and your family and friends know that we have made a small donation to Cal Farley's Boys Ranch to honor and remember Rafael A. "TJ" Carrillo Jr. US Army Specialist. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals across the American youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. ...

Another Memorial Day has past and you are not forgotten my friend...

Thank you for giving you all. May you be rejoicing with the Lord!
