He is also lovingly remembered by his sons, Carlos and Jehu; his daughters, Ivonne, Zaira, Susana, and Noemí; and his brother, Edmundo, with whom he shared many cherished memories. Carlos leaves behind a rich legacy through his 17 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild, all of whom will carry forward his love, wisdom, and passions.

He was preceded in death by his dear grandson, Axel, whose memory remained close to his heart.
