Tribute

Carlos was raised in Carpinteria, California, a beautiful coastal town. He attended the local college earning both an Associate's and Bachelor Degree. Even with all his education he loved being a big rig truck driver the most. This provided him the opportunity to indulge in his favorite pastime, which was exploring and experiencing different cultures. This he was able to do while driving through cities, states, and countries. He loved walking and riding his bike (Sweat Pea) along the beach in Santa Barbara. He was an avid sports enthusiast loving March Madness and college football. He was also a giver and always showed his appreciation to others. So for him to donate his body made perfect sense when he shared his wishes.
