Carter Chavez, 22 years old, passed away on Saturday, April 6, 2024. He moved to Colorado Springs from Southern California when he was just 3 years old.
Carter was born on May 2, 2001 to Frank Chavez and Marie Ovalle (Ovalle-Sokol) in Orange, California.
Carter loved landscape photography, sharing his photos with all of Colorado. He also was an avid Lego collector and built an enormous Lego city that included amusement parks, beaches, train stations and even a football field. He loved riding the Colorado OHV trails on his ATV and traveling with his mother, stepfather and friends. Carter graduated high school from Falcon High School during the pandemic in 2020. His favorite music was by Twenty One Pilots as well as For King and Country.
Carter is survived by his loving mother Marie, stepfather Eric Sokol, father Frank Chavez, grandmother Marlene and siblings Christopher and Chase.
