Torres, Carlos "Chucky"
For Carlos (Chucky) Torres, the last few months were a new beginning. The past was past, and the future lay before him. He dreamed of buying a new home, going on a vacation to San Diego, taking care of his 94-year-old mother, and getting a new dog after his beloved dog Paco died earlier this year. In fact, 61-year-old Chucky, born on August 10, 1955, in Phoenix, was a new man with a mission: to embrace life, love, and family and leave the pain of illness behind. But it was not to be. Chucky Torres, son of Carlos Torres (senior), deceased, and Arsenia Cota Torres died Tuesday, November 15, at Maryvale Hospital of complications from a virus and dehydration. He leaves behind his beloved mother, Arsenia Torres, son Anthony Torres, and sisters Theresa Torres Roop (Ernie), Cecilia Torres Best (Stod), Linda Torres, and Rachel Torres Carrillo. Chucky is also survived by his nieces and nephew, Theresa Tweeddale, Lisa Sexauer, Lisa Carrillo, MariaLinda Miles, and Corey Best. Chucky's intelligence, sense-of-humor, and GPS abilities or his ability to locate, without a map, any place in Phoenix, will not be forgotten. Carlos attended Arizona State University and retired from Arizona Public Service Company where he worked as a meter reader. The funeral mass will be at St. Simon and Jude Cathedral at 10 a.m. in Phoenix followed by internment at St. Francis Cemetery. After the interment there will be a luncheon following at the St. Bernadette Hall at St. Simon and Jude Catholic Church. Visit the guest book at www.almooregrimshaw.com

Please tell Chucky's mom & sisters how very sorry I am. I was the neighbor that lived in apt 3 between Carlos and your mom. I had moved out of the apt. about 3 years ago, so many times I thought about stopping by and saying hello to Carlos and your mom (I am sorry that I didn't). I am very sad that Carlos died. I pray for God's comfort for you and your family. God bless you all. Debbie Neuteboom

Dear Celia, Teddi, Cecelia, Linda and Rachel
My deepest condolences go out to you. I'd spent a lot of time talking to your mom on the phone over the years and always enjoyed it. When I met Chucky, it was apparent where he got his positive attitude from, and that special way of telling the truth even if he was lamenting the hand life dealt him. I really enjoyed his visit with us and was looking forward to another one. He promised he'd visit but his dedication to looking after Celia was such that he didn't want to leave her .
Please know that he'll be missed and we will keep you in our prayers.
Fiona

God speed Chucky. You were there for me even when I didn't know you were. You gave Kristopher and I so much love and laughs. I am comforted knowing you are with my grandfather. Rest in peace and put in a good word for me. I love you and miss you.

To the Torres Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

I'm sorry to hear about your family's loss. I wanted to share a scripture with your family of Isaiah 28:8. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
