Carmelo Perez, who left us on December 25th, 2024, was the life of every family gathering. He wasn’t the type to act sporty, but put a game on the TV with a cold beer, and he was your man. Whether it was sipping on his Anís del Mono or throwing back a shot of Henny, he made sure the good times never stopped. Carmelo was always there to cook, clean, and make sure the music was bumping, because let’s be real, what’s a party without him? His laughter, stories, and dance moves (yes, he tried) will be missed, but we know he’s up there cracking jokes and making everyone laugh. Rest easy, Carmelo, I you’ve earned it, but don’t worry, we’ll save you a seat for the next game. You’ll be missed, hermano, padre, and all-around legend.
