Carlos, liked to be called 'Los Dog', moved to Youngstown in 1983 after the passing of his mother Lois Williams. He resided with his uncles, Robert (Pearl)Alexander, then with Fred (Ellen) Alexander, then his cousin, Laticia Alexander, before entering residential living.
Carlos had a passion for listening to music, especially the 'GOGO' music he introduced his family to when he moved here, dancing and hanging out in his community talking to everyone who took time to talk with him. His smile and loud presence in his community will be remembered fondly.
He leaves behind a legacy of love and resilience and what true self-determination looks like, the good, the bad and the indifferent.
He is survived by family: a host of cousins and countless friends and extended family members who will cherish his memory and most of all, his special love, Candice Diane Hall.
Though he left us too soon, Carlos's spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 12:00 p.m., at Augustine Funeral Home, 75 Midlothian Boulevard, Youngstown, OH 44507 (234) 254-8403. Friends may call at 11:00 a.m.
In his memory, the family asks that the next time you see a person with a Developmental Disability treat them with love, kindness, patient and respect.
Rest well, Carlos. You are deeply loved and will never be forgotten.

4 Gulf World dolphins adjust to Clearwater Marine Aquarium, 7 still await relocation
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WMBB) – On Wednesday, June 4, News 13 broke the story about the four Gulf World Marine Park dolphins being relocated to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Crews arrived at Gulf World around 11 p.m. Tuesday, loaded up the animals and headed south. They arrived in Clearwater around 11 a.m. E.T. Wednesday morning. All the rough-toothed female dolphins appeared to immediately take to their new surroundings. The staff in Clearwater set benchmarks for the dolphins to gauge how they are adjusting. On Friday, June 6, they told local officials all four of the animals blew away those benchmarks and are 'thriving' in their new home. 4 Gulf World dolphins moved to Clearwater Marine Aquarium As for the seven remaining bottle-nosed dolphins still at Gulf World, local officials told News 13 they are still waiting on the results of some tissue and fluid tests done within the last week. The results will determine if the dolphins are healthy and able to be placed with other dolphins. Once they're medically clear, they'll be transferred to another facility that has yet to be confirmed. Some in the decision-making process don't want them to go to another 'Dolphin Company-owned' facility. They point to the fact that the company is currently in bankruptcy proceedings and the poor conditions at Gulf World. Five dolphins have died at Gulf World since October 2024. The public outcry is responsible for the relocation of all of the marine animals. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
