Pasó su infancia en Degollado rodeado de sus siete hermanos. El 16 de enero de 1993, Carlos se casó con Marisela Mujica y juntos tuvieron tres hijos.

Tras mudarse a Estados Unidos, Carlos trabajó durante muchos años en la línea de ensamblaje de Lennox. Fue un miembro devoto de la Parroquia San Francisco de Asís en Marshalltown. En sus años jóvenes de casado, Carlos y su esposa participaron activamente en la vida parroquial y en muchas actividades de la iglesia juntos. Disfrutaba de dar largas caminatas, jugar cartas y juegos de mesa, y escuchar música. Carlos estaba más feliz cuando estaba rodeado de familia y amigos. Estaba emocionado por el próximo nacimiento de su nieto y se sentía orgulloso de sus hijos por ser personas honestas y miembros contribuyentes de la sociedad. Carlos también encontraba alegría en coleccionar miniaturas y baleros, un pasatiempo que reflejaba su aprecio por los tesoros simples y significativos. Todos los que lo amaban lo extrañarán profundamente.
