Carlos, our much loved friend and brother, sadly passed away on Friday 12th August this year. This page has been set up so his friends, family and loved ones can give Carlos the send-off this special soul deserves.
Carlos touched the hearts and souls of everyone who knew and loved him. He really was a truly special friend; a bon viveur to the end (and bon raconteur without end!); a “daddy”, a brother, a soul-mate to so many of us; a man who lived life fully and ensured those around him did too. There are too many great stories to tell of the joy, happiness and laughter we have all shared with this beautiful man, who made all our lives more precious and more wonderful. He was the catalyst that brought so many of us together and form lasting friendships.
In memory of this, we are asking everyone who knew Carlos to help us raise enough money to pay for Carlos’s funeral and give him a memorable send-off.
All monies raised will be spent as follows (in rough order):
- funeral costs (this is priority - we need to make an immediate payment of £1020 to get the ball rolling, and the total figure will be above £5000)**
- legal fees and other costs for handling his affairs
- venue and catering for the wake
- a memorial celebration and scattering of the ashes to be held on Carlos’s next birthday, 7th February 2017
- any remaining monies to be donated to charity
Let’s all give back a little something to a man who gave us all so much!
**funeral will be held at East Chapel,Croydon Crematorium, Thornton Heath, Friday 16th September, 3.00pm-4.30pm
**After the service we will be celebrating & remembering
