Carlos or "Chapa" as many knew him was kind and funny in his own way. He had a nickname for everyone and it was kind of like a rite of passage to get a nickname from him. He was the life of any room and you would know when he was around because there would be so much noise. He was loved and seeked out by many and would not disappoint. He wanted the best for everyone and would always treat them with kindness. He adored his siblings and would visit with them on a daily basis. Every pet he came across was dearly loved by him. His heart, personality and charisma was unmatched.
