Thinking of you all at this time. Praying for strength and comfort for your family.

You have our deepest sympathy. It was an honor working with a fellow veteran. I hope that the Family can find comfort in the treasured memories that you will always have.

Carlos Rentas and Family

My condolences to my family, the Mairena family. I met Carlos and his wife Mo in 2007. This is really the best couple friendship I have ever had. We became family so quickly called each other´s sister and brother. I was big sis Carlos was little brother and Mo was little sis. We all connected and bonded so quickly. Carlos was definitely a family man and loved all of his family so very much especially his beautiful wife, children and grandchildren. Carlos had a calm loving spirit and always would give a word of encouragement, and he took life seriously. Sometimes I would think that I was funny, and I would look over to Carlos and he wouldn´t be cracking a smile at all, he would just do that to see how I would respond and then crack a smile. I will always cherish the laughter we shared together. Family I´m praying for God´s comfort over our family and friends. Sis, Pierre, Corlissa, CJ, Goretty, Junie and Penelope you all must stick together for life that´s what brother would want. I know that you´re missing him very much and that´s well expected.That´s why it´s important to keep memories and to make memories and love for one another. Love Always Big Sis / Auntie

Carlos had a strong work ethic and was serious about work, but always had some hilarious one liners that would crack us up laughing. It was never a dull moment with him around. He was a giving, considerate person, someone I could always count on. He quickly became a friend. I will miss him very much. My condolences to the Mairena family.

Carlos has been 1 of the coolest friends I've met during my beginning NAVY days on board the USS Peleliu 98-99. I enjoyed all the times we link up. We became brothers. I love you Bro, and you're missed already

Carlos became part of our family when he met my cousin Nisa in Charleston. At first, I struggled when Sissy and Pierre had to move after he was re-stationed, but it didn´t take long to see that he was a man of strength, kindness, and love-a true blessing to us all.

Carlos had a calm and steady spirit, and the love he showed for his family was evident in everything he did. I will always cherish the laughter we shared, the warmth of his welcome, the memories made, and yes-even his unforgettable BBQ.

He and my son Devin shared a special bond, one filled with banter, silliness, and joy whenever they were together. That connection spoke to the heart of who Carlos was: someone who loved deeply and made others feel loved in return.

Though I´ve always been a Cowboys fan, in honor of you, Carlito, I´ll smile whenever the Giants are playing. Love you. Miss you. Always.

I worked with Carlos for a brief time at USPS. He was a hard worker and great colleague. I know his life was well lived, by all the hilarious stories and wisdom he shared with us. His energy and laughter was infectious, even at 5:00 am! I´m praying for God´s comfort over his family and friends for the days ahead.
