About Carlos:
 
Carlos Gustavo Ambriz Garcia lived in Kansas City, KS with his family and was a 10th grader at Wyandotte High School. He leaves behind his mom, Amapola, and his siblings Itati, Luis, Isabella, and Jordan; his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins; and many friends.
 
He often went by the nicknames LOS and Clutch. His friends and family say he always came in "clutch" for them whenever they needed anything. The nickname also represents his love of cars. He hoped to design cars when he was older.
 
He took great care of his family, often making breakfast for his 9-year-old brother in the mornings and acting as a father figure to his younger siblings. When his older sister was in high school, he made a point to show up to all of her band performances. While he took on many responsibilities beyond what’s typically asked of teenagers, Carlos was still a kid who loved to play video games and hang out with his friends. His mom remembers him as "goofy, smart, leader, super big brother, car fanatic, and loving son."
