Ismael Carlo passed away April 14, 2015 at the age of 65 years. He was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico in 1949. After graduating from the Autonomous University of Guadalajara Medical School in August 1975, he followed his call to dedicate his professional life to treat the most severe mental illnesses.

DeBakey VMAC and Baylor College of Medicine Psychiatry Faculty assisting in the healing of our veterans.
He was active in his community and enjoyed gardening and cooking. He was known as a loving father and a proud grandfather, a teacher, a mentor, a healer, and philanthropist. He was patient and fun-loving and enjoyed the brighter side of life with a passion for good food, music and the company of friends and family.
Ismael Carlo is survived by Lydia, his wife of 40 years. His children Ismael and Maria, mother Awilda, his brother Ivan and his sister Awilda, his nieces Tatiana, Natacha and Angela Marcela, and his grandchildren Gabriel, Olivia, Alexandra, Matthew and Mark.

Dr Carlos was my supervisor during some of my rotations. He never treated me like his subordinate, always took the first step in any task, he was always side by side in patients care, always gave respect to everyone. His greatness was that he never thought himself superior to others. He will be missed!

An empathic and compassionate physician who gave his patients hope and inspired junior colleagues. His love of caring for others will live on in the lives he touched and influenced, such as myself. Prayers and thoughts to Lydia and family during this difficult time and appreciation for sharing him with us through his work.

A great man of integrity. A psychiatrist who was invested in his practice of care and concern to and with his clients. A healthcare leader in a challenging system who always made you feel valued and a colleague. His passing is a great loss. He certainly touched my life and impacted my practice.--Diane Davis (retired VAMC RN)

It was nothing short of a blessing to have met and worked alongside Dr. Ismael Carlo. Dr. Carlo was an advocate for individuals that lacked the ability to effectively express their feelings, fears, and dreams. His departure has left a paramount, unspeakable void within his workplace and within countless hearts.
An intelligent, compassionate, honest, unbiased, and graceful leader is what I will remember him as. He possessed an infectious smile and captivating laugh that would send a ray of light through the darkest circumstance or situation. He shared guidance and wisdom that is simply invaluable, to say the least. He had such a profound, positive effect on my life and I will forever be grateful for it.
Far too often earthly angels are cast in the backgrounds of chaos, confusion, and uncertainty; but not Dr. Carlo. His humility, his poise, his grace and his gift appeared to be right at the forefront to readily assist others.
There are no particular words that will truly allow me to express my admiration for this individual. As each tear falls, I can only be thankful that I was fortunate enough to encounter such a selfless person. His demonstration of humbleness and altruism is what I will refer to, as I take strides to be the example that he was for me.
Although he has departed us in the physical; I am certain that his spirit has left lively footprints within the hearts of those he touched.
God bless you Dr. Carlo
May peace comfort your family, assuring them that all is well with you.
