Carlos Alvarez

Carlos Edward Alvarez died peacefully at Forest Hills Center on Tuesday, July 11. He

was 52.  He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Caitlyn and Jonathan Stiffler of

Columbus; his mother Jacqueline of Circleville; and siblings Gloria (Dean Gulick) of

Houston; Jacqueline (Sharon Stevenson) of Pelham, Massachusetts; and Matthew

(Eleanor Rhee) of Raleigh, North Carolina, and 7 nieces and nephews.

Before a brain injury eight years ago, he worked as a field service engineer for Siemens

and Cummings, traveling the world installing and repairing heavy mechanical equipment.

He enjoyed snow skiing; boating, white water rafting, and water skiing; playing the bass

guitar and listening to live music; and keeping birds. He was an excellent cook: his

rigatoni was legendary.  In keeping with his wishes, his body will be cremated and ashes dispersed over Solitude Mountain in Utah and along the Crystal Coast of North Carolina.
