Carlos carried a deep love and pride for his culture of being Basque. He would share stories with anyone who would listen about his home and traditions he carried with him and left with his daughters to share. Carlos loved to make people laugh with his crazy and loving sense of humor. He held his loyalty to his family tight and made sure each of his daughters knew just how much he loved them.

Carlos carried the love and habit for building saltwater fish tanks. That became his passion. His warm embrace for his family will always remain in our hearts. Carlos’s quick-witted nature was contagious, and his smile and laughter brightened up any room he walked into. Carlos was a man who lived life with laughter, grit, and a heart full of love. Known for his sharp wit and the ability to make anyone laugh even in the hardest moments, he left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. Carlos will be remembered for his love and his hard work, as well as for his love of his Broncos, music, and movies, and his willingness to give with no hesitation or complaint. He will be remembered for his strength in facing life’s trials, for the way he showed up even when it wasn’t easy, for the fierce unforgettable love he gave to those around him. His stories, laughter, and legacy will echo through generations. Carlos will be deeply missed.
