Carlos Manuel Pérez Lara, 58, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2025, in Dallas, Texas, where he resided for the past 35 years. He was born on March 14, 1967, in Tampamolón, San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
Carlos was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, whose love for life and generous spirit touched everyone around him. He immigrated to the United States in search of new opportunities and, with determination and long hours of hard work, built a successful painting business that reflected his commitment and perseverance.
Although he made his life in Dallas, he never forgot his roots and cherished every visit to Mexico. When he wasn't working, he was almost always surrounded by his family: tending the grill, a beer in hand, music playing loudly, and a soccer game on in the background. He loved ranch life, good food, and the laughter that filled the air. Carlos had a big heart and a generous spirit; he was the kind of man who never hesitated to help family or friends in need, no matter the time or circumstance. His joy came from being with his loved ones, sharing stories, joking with his sense of humor, and making everyone feel welcome. His family describes him as their pillar: strong, reliable, and full of love. His warmth, his laughter, and his endless willingness to help will be remembered by all.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Miriam, and his six children: Carolina, Blanca, Carlos, Karla, Alejandra, and Carlitos. He was a proud grandfather of Leonardo, Allison, Jayden, Jacob, Aria, and Carlos Eduardo. He is also survived by his siblings: Eneyda, Bertha, Elpidia, Rebecca, Francisca, Elpidio, Leopoldino, and Marily, as well as many nieces, nephews, and other relatives who will deeply miss him.
Carlos will be remembered for his big heart, his humor, his love of music and good company, and his endless willingness to help others. Carlos's life was a testament to perseverance, love, and joy.
Carlos Manuel Pérez Lara, de 58 años, falleció pacíficamente el 1 de noviembre de 2025 en Dallas, Texas, donde residió durante los últimos 35 años. Nació el 14 de marzo de 1967 en Tampamolón, San Luis Potosí, México.
Carlos fue un esposo, padre, abuelo, hermano y amigo devoto, cuyo amor por la vida y espíritu generoso conmovieron a todos a su alrededor. Emigró a los Estados Unidos en busca de nuevas oportunidades y, con determinación y largas jornadas de arduo trabajo, construyó un exitoso negocio de pintura que reflejó su compromiso y perseverancia. Aunque hizo su vida en Dallas, nunca olvidó sus raíces y atesoraba cada visita a México.
Cuando no estaba trabajando, casi siempre se encontraba rodeado de su familia: atendiendo la parrilla, con una cerveza en la mano, música a todo volumen y un partido de fútbol de fondo. Le encantaba la vida en el rancho, la buena comida y las risas que llenaban el ambiente. Carlos tenía un gran corazón y un espíritu generoso; era el tipo de hombre que nunca dudaba en ayudar a familiares o amigos necesitados, sin importar la hora ni la circunstancia. Su alegría provenía de estar con sus seres queridos, compartiendo historias, bromeando con su sentido del humor y haciendo que todos se sintieran bienvenidos. Su familia lo describe como su pilar: fuerte, confiable y lleno de amor. Su calidez, su risa y su infinita disposición a ayudar serán recordadas por todos.
Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Miriam, y sus seis hijos: Carolina, Blanca, Carlos, Karla, Alejandra y Carlitos. Fue un orgulloso abuelo de Leonardo, Allison, Jayden, Jacob, Aria y Carlos Eduardo. También le sobreviven sus hermanos: Eneyda, Bertha, Elpidia, Rebecca, Francisca, Elpidio, Leopoldino y Marily, además de muchos sobrinos, sobrinas y demás familiares que lo extrañarán profundamente.
Carlos será recordado por su gran corazón, su humor, su amor por la música y la buena compañía, y su infinita disposición a ayudar a los demás. La vida de Carlos fue un testimonio de perseverancia, amor y alegría. Su legado perdurará a través de la familia que formó, el trabajo que realizó y las innumerables vidas que tocó.
