Carlos was born on February 9, 1937 in Billings, Montana to Charles Garcia, Sr. and Cesaria Soto Garcia, Sr. Carlos was a proud Vietnam Veteran who served in the United States Air Force for 20 years and worked for the State of Washington for 20 years prior to his retirement. Carlos had several interests but his most passionate was bowling. He was a dedicated bowler early in life winning several trophies and later in life he achieved several 300 games in addition to winning several medals at the local Senior Olympic Games.
