Carlos was born on July 14, 1961, in Chicago, IL to Raymond Garza and Martha Stark. He gave his life to Christ at an early age.  He graduated from Gordon Tech High School. He continued his education and service in the Air Force as a Jet Engine Mechanic Specialist in Lubbock, TX. In which time he met his wife Janie Lucio and her daughter Amanda Tanguma. Soon after, Carlos and Janie gave birth to Emily Vaughn. The family relocated to Chicago to further his career. Thanks to his greater ambitions, he was able to be self-employed, which made him available for not only his family but anyone in need. He worked as a self-contractor of Olsen Rugs for many years while attending night school for Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration in Bensenville, IL. He loved his family and friends. His heart was filled with laughter and jokes. He enjoyed listening to spanish and dance music. His favorite past time was cooking and baking for the family; he was always looking for the next new recipe.
