He was his father's helper through all his young life. He was a very hard worker and was happiest when he was busy. He was a man of many talents and occupations which include farming, dairyman, mining, truck driving, and mechanics. Then his childhood dream of flying became a reality. He was able to volunteer for the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), fly for Search and Rescue (SAR) and for his brother Don for a time. He became a commercial pilot and flew for Alpine Air. He absolutely loved to fly and was protected many times. With God as his co-pilot, he survived three "mayday" landings.
Carlos was a spiritual giant who lived his live in service to others with a desire to please our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in all he did. A true servant leader, he taught by example and stood firm in his beliefs. On numerous occasions, he humbly stated that he was "blessed beyond measure". He was a very loving man who treated everyone with charity and kindness and made each of his family members feel as if they were his favorite, and we truly were!
