We are mournful to announce the passing of Carlos Medrano. Born October 9th 1958 - Died April 2nd 2026 Carlos lived for 67 years and touched the hearts of many. He left wonderful memories with family and friends alike. He was the pillar of his family, some might say he was also a pillar in their lives. He enjoyed cooking, working, and spending time with his family.

A brave soul who graced our lives with compassion and benevolence, Carlos’s presence will surely be missed, his absence will be felt. Carlos may have passed on, but his spirit lives on in our hearts forever & always. When you take the time reflect on what kind of person Carlos was you could always count on him to show up for you .

As we bid goodbye to you papa, all of your “monstrous” would like to say thank you for always supporting us, thank you for giving us this wonderful life, and thank you for teaching us to remain true to who we are in this world full of pain and deceit, there couldn’t be a better example of someone who is genuinely courageous . We will cherish the memories of us laughing together, the hugs, and the “stupid MFs”. We love you so much.
