Carlos and I used to play together when we were little so when I heard he died I was shocked that someone my age was gone so soon. It is a tradegy and he will be missed. I don't want to remember him as a tradegy but as a good friend who I grew up with at Lamplighter Apartments and a 2008 Classmate. Rest in Peace Carlos.

You will never be forgotten.

To Carlos and Family,
I want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. I know there aren't any words I can say to comfort you right now, and only the strength of GOD will see you through. One thing I do know from experience is that people grieve differently (some for a short time, and some longer), but one thing I do know is that the Lord will never leave you, nor forsake you. We truly miss Jay coming through that door on Sunday mornings to church. But, we know that he is smiling down on you saying "Daddy you raised me well". Have comfort in knowing you were a great Dad to Jay!!

My Dear Carlos and Family,
Words are so inadequate to express the pain that I feel over the loss of Jay. Jay was such a joy to be around. He warmed my heart and always brought a smile to my face. He was our big baby and we all loved him unconditionally. I know that the Lord has a plan, and as time moves on we will be able to understand it by and by. Carlos, I know that you were the best father you could be to Jay and he loved you dearly. Rest assured that he is resting and the Lord is taking care of him. I say thank you for sharing Jay with me for 18 years, from the time he was born, he has always been a part of my life. and I will miss him.

I love you Jay!

Pam Smith

To Carl and family my deepest sympathy goes out to you and the rest of the family. I will always remember Jay and the smile that he always had. I know that he is smiling and looking down on everyone.
I know that it is hard now, but you can only take one day at a time.

The family is having a hard time, you were snatch away from us…..Jay I love you with all the fiber of my being... I told you I love you and I showed you as well. Thank you for being not only my nephew but also my son. I enjoyed every minute of our time together, from the time taking care of you as a baby, the fun we had on the driving trips to California and all the states we stop by and learned something new and firsthand. The wonderful time in the kid’s area of Circus Circles in Las Vega, going back to campus with me and dancing the whole time with all the girls at the dance. Being in my wedding and coming up to me and saying”Auntie I never rode in a Limo before “of course you rode in the limo with me to the reception. We had a wonderful time in Florida, especially the pool; I can go on and on. Jay, I need you to watch over ALL OF US, and I know you know how much your family and father love you. He only wanted the best for you; give him a kiss and a hug every night until he sees you again. It is very hard, we are going to miss you Jay but I know you are in a better place now; you are with God setting at the right side of his garment. I thank God for allowing you to come into our lives. love U, Auntie!

To the family of Carlos Roberts:
I am truly deeply sorry for the sudden and shocking loss of Jay. It was an event that when I first heard about it, I was just in utter shock and disbelief. It seemed like yesterday that the class of 2008...well we, were "released" into such a surreal world. We now quickly find ourselves questioning God asking him "Why did you take him away from us? He was so young...", but we just have to trust his judgement because beyond this world, there is a place called Heaven. It's a much better place to live than this world down here. CARLOS IS NOW SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE (ANGELS) THAT LOVE HIM UNCONDITIONALLY. Please keep your faith in God and know that it is He who can bring us through ANYTHING. May God continue to bless you all and I pray that he helps you through this time of sorrow.

Love Forever & Always,
