His wife, Anita would always say he loved watching either the cowboys with the horses or the cowboys with the football. He enjoyed always riding around with his youngest grandchild, Elijah who they were never a stranger to anybody. 

He worked many years in the oilfield which he would always talk about. His grandchildren most remembered when he would come home after a long day at work and he let them enjoy all the leftover goodies in his lunch pail. 

He enjoyed his ranch where he had several animals Muneca, Bobo and all the chivos. He had so many goats at one time that he was able to name each and every one of them after each grandchild. 

Carlos loved his family but even more he loved his faith in God. Carlos was a Christian man who attended church on the regular, he prayed for his family each and every one of them until the very last moment…
