Carlos or “Chapa” as many knew him was kind and funny in his own way. He had a nickname for everyone and it was kind of like a rite of passage to get a nickname from him. He was the life of any room and you would know when he was around because there would be so much noise. He was loved and seeked out by many and would not disappoint. He wanted the best for everyone and would always treat them with kindness. He adored his siblings and would visit with them on a daily basis. Every pet he came across was dearly loved by him. His heart, personality and charisma was unmatched.

Mr. Cabello is survived by his wife of 48 years of marriage, Maria Teresa Cabello; faithful loyal companion, JC Cabello; daughters, Irma Yvonne (Armando) Blanco and Carolyn (Gustavo) Salazar; grandchildren, Ethan Enrique Cabello, Carina Yvonne Salazar, Abel Javier Cabello, David Ivan Blanco, Armando Blanco Jr, and last but not least baby Catherine “Cat” Erias Salazar; siblings, Luisa( Bernardino) Sandoval, Francisco(Gloria)Cabello Jr, Minerva (+Eliseo) Perez, Margarita(+ Cruz) Hernandez, Ricardo Cabello, and Rogelio (Carmen) Cabello.
