He was born January 6, 1936 in Denver, Colorado, the son of Onesimo and Sylvia (Vasquez) Cordova.

Carlos started working for the J N Marshall Company in the warehouse in his 20s. He retired in 1999 and then helped Mary at home with whatever needed to be done.

Carlos enjoyed completing word search puzzles and tinkering. When he was younger, he used to enjoy using metal detectors to find treasures.

Carlos especially enjoyed time spent with his family and friends. In younger years, he also traveled to New Mexico to see relatives and the Four Corners.
