Carlos was my good friend. I spoke to him this am before this happened, he was giving me shit about the cheap headsets I gave him.... I still can't believe this. He was a fellow boater and good friend. I know few if any others that would do for me what Carlos has done for me and my family. I feel privileged to have him as a friend.
Carlos was a good man and a TRUE gentleman. Most of you will never come close to being the stand up guy he was. If you broke or needed help, Carlos was there. He went out of his way MANY many times to help me out of a jamb.
I'm at a loss for words here.
He will be missed dearly by his friends and family.

iv kick it with this hommie a few times, he is a really good dude with a big heart and a friend of a bunch of my buddys..if the timing is wrong to talk about it sorry!!

What happened to Carlos I just saw his boat on Sat..

[DAVEO]

He will be greatly missed.:cry: :cry:
I cant beleve its true!
I also will need a ride for this one.

[RACER52]

:(
I dont know where to start, I may not have known Carlos as good as some of our ***boat peeps but the Mrs. and I thought of him as our friend. I actually came on line hoping that there was not a post regarding our loss (***boat community, family and friends) but since it was in good taste I thought I would post.
Los will be missed by many, and the Mrs. and I give our deepest and most sincere regards to his wife and kids. We are in shock and can only offer our best wishes to them.
I'm sure it will be said many times over but Carlos was a great friend and would have done anything and always offered more help than what was needed. We will do the same for his family.

Finn, thanks for calling and giving me a heads up about this. I have highlighted part of what you said as I couldn't have said it better myself.
I had my arms around him on Saturday and like you am at a loss for words.
Carlos will always be remembered as someone who would go out of his way to help you or be the first one to get behind a boating event. At Shasta this year he talked about how he just wanted everyone to have fun boating and he certainly was a catalyst for that.
Carlos was someone we all hope to be associated with during our life. Someone who had a huge heart and wasn't afraid to show it, a person who really did care when he said he did and wasn't just blowing smoke up your ass, a true hot boat guy who I will always remember as ONE OF THE BEST.
I will contact the family tomorrow before moving ahead with any thing until I get their input. Damnnnnnnnnnnnn I miss him.

I am at a loss for the right words, and you summed it up very well Troy. Carlos was going to be dropping a part off at my house tonight to help me out of a jam at the shop. Carlos you be missed by many! RIP good friend. My heart goes out to his wife and children.:D

[Lofty]

We all miss you so much already Los! Don't anyone forget, THIS is the man who kept this sport real for us all!!!

[Den Isle]

Bon Voyage Carlos!
To a place where there is only race gas, excessive boost, and outdrives that never blow up.
We will celebrate your life instead of mourning your passing.
My condolences to Sondra, little Carlos and Tatianna.

[DCBob]

Son, Husband, Father, Friend to many, Friend of mine............I will never forget what a true and loyal friend you have been to me and so many others. The ***boat world will not be the same without you........ boating will not be the same. May God Bless your family and help them through these terrible times.

[abraman1326]

Wow, this is a shock. I only met Carlos a few times, and he always went out of his way to bs w/ Lisa and I, and make us feel comfortable, and he didn't know us from Adam. I remember hearing about the party under the bow while he was making speed runs @ last years B2B. What a great man, and he'll be missed!!! If there is anything we can do to help this even Terry, let me know...
BRA

[Dimarco21]

A kind/good person to my family, who always made my kids laugh with his jokes. Our hearts go out to Sondra and the kids, such a great loss for them and all of us in the Hot Boat community. R.I.P. Los.

[Boat211]

I dont think I can add much to what has already been said. We saw Carlos on Sunday night at Orwood. He had been prop testing. He had a few of his buddies there. My family was pretty much in the car but he made a point to go say hello to my wife and kids. That is just how he was. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. RIP CARLOS.

[Familycat]

Just saw this thread. What happened to Carlos!
Rick

[Robbie Racer]

It's a sad day for our boating community. :( I didn't know Carlos all that well but he still went out of his way and took the time to tow me in twice when I broke at B2B. He will be missed by many. RIP Carlos.

[Mrs Luvnlife]

Didn't personally know Carlos, but our hearts go out to his family and friends :(....stay strong! Sounds like he was an upstanding individual and a kind of friend that everyone needs to have.

[TOBTEK]

WOW...... What a shocker! WHAT the heck happened? My heart hurts for his family:(

[BIGJOEDUCKSLAYER]

A friend of mine will greatly be missed by all. My condolences go to family and friends.

What a great, stand up guy Carlos was. He was their for anyone that needed help. You will be greatly missed, RIP. Our hearts go out to his
family.

[40FlatDeck]

So sad.:( Was this a boating accident? I met him at this years Desert Storm. Let me tell you, looks can be decieving!:D He was one of the nicest guys and truly crazy about boats. We talked in length about his new Nortech and some of his older boats. RIP

[Uniqueperformancewest]

I agree, there is not much that can be added to the very kind words that have already been expressed by others. I too had the great priveledge of being introduced to him at the Discovery Bay Boat show this year. My father and I got to hang out with him, and we went to dinner and he was the funniest guy I had ever met. But he was a real nice guy to, despite the hard shell. He truly will be missed.
John

[abraman1326]

Wow, such a sad turn of events. I certainly feel for his family. I hope they know we wre here for them in their time of need. I have no idea if they even know we exist, but if you are reading any of this, please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do for you in your time of need!!!

Talked To A Memeber Of His Famliy A Few Minutes Ago Its Really Ruff Around There So I Made It Short And Let Them Know What Was Going On The ***boat Site And If They Needed Anything We Are Down To Help Out And Also About The Lunch Run And If They wanted to particapate or Need A Ride On The River Theres Plenty Of Open Seats...so Sad Couldnt Even Continue The Phone Conversation!!:(

Hey guys, I think the lunch run memorial is a great and heartfelt thought and will be a good thing for everyone. But howbout this week, lets stick with posting our thoughts prayers and all of the great experiences/times (post pics if ya got um)we've all shared with Los. Kinda let everyone digest what has happened here and share in the personal loss with friends and family. My .02

I think that is a great idea. I will start another thread all together about a lunch run so that we can get a head count togther and make some arrangments as needed. I think this thread should remain just the way it is, a place for memories to be shared.
I for one can never forget the look on my 9 year old daughters face when my boat broke at last years Cat Attack and Carlos asked her if she would like to ride with him and his family on the big boat, she smiled all night long in anticipiation of the ride in the race boat as she called it.
Carlos I will never forget your since of humor or your huge heart...a true Gentle Giant. Many men will try all of their lives and never be half the man you were.

[grads2112]

Some of my best memories at the poker runs and events that I've done are when Carlos and crew would show up. You would think it was the President of the United States showing up the way people would snap pictures of him, his rigs and boats... he definitely knew how to make an entrance. And then for him to come over and not only acknowledge my wife and I but sit down and carry on a conversation with us and ask us how we've been in a way made us feel special. He was a very genuine guy and always a gentleman to my wife and I and will be greatly missed.

[Big Warlock]

They had a suite next to ours at the Desert Storm Poker run this past year. Very nice people. Always said hello and were joking with us. Sorry to see this happen. RIP.

[charitycase]

Our thoughts & prayers also.We just met him at the last HB photo shoot.Great guy.Again,our condolences.Casey & Christina.

[Dave C]

God bless Carlos and his family..... lost is a true hard-core boater...:(

[Familycat]

The Best Family sends it's condolences. We are truly sorry for your loss.
I don't have too many stories about Carlos as I was just getting to know him. Most wouild agree that he was never dull and always smiling.
I do have one story that until today did not realy register propery. It was Saturday morning at Cat Attack. Donna and I were driving down to the store to pick up some ice. Carlos was pitting on the props on his new Nor-Tech, one of the coolest boats I haver ever been around. He stopped and started to walk over to us to say hello. The prop slid off and hit the ground. We felt so bad and were concered if it had done any damage. Carlos, on the other had was more concerned as to how were were. There is something to be leaned from a guy like that.
We later laughed about it in the bar that night. Carlos, his brother, DCBob, Pierre, myself and few of the usualy suspects had a few froster beverages that night. It was a good time. It was the last time I spoke to Carlos.
Rick, Donna, Brad, Bailey

[DCBob]

I was sitting here with Brother Steve (Nice Pair) reminising while picking out pictures of Los on the many runs/lunches etc we have all been on together. I couldn't pick out one single good story to tell because each and every time I've ever been anywhere with Los there was another good story! If you are so lucky as to meet, know and become friends with a Carlos one time in your life cherish that time. Carlos was a once in a lifetime friend to those of us lucky enough to have shared his friendship! RIP Bro :(

Los has been such a big part of all our lives and can never be replaced. :( He had a way of always being there for his friends like no other. Dan and I both are so heart broken about this as we have become close with Los and Sandra over the last few years. Los helped get us into this game and we will never be the same because of how he touched our lives. Always felt like he was invincible and I feel like such a lucky person to have known him. We had some great times together and know we will probably never meet another soul with such a BIG and generous heart. Our hearts go out to Sandra,the kids, and the rest of their family. RIP Los... We Miss You Our Good Friend.

[Frequent Flier]

I had the pleasure of meeting Calos at the Shasta Photo Shoot this year and found him to be a true boat enthusiast and a real gentleman. He treated me as if we had been friends forever....RIP

[TUNNEL T]

god bless my brother ,many great memories thanx. my heart goes out to sandra and kids , please let us (prietos ) know if there is anything we can help out with !

I would like info if ANYONE knows about the funeral and services. Jason

Police investigation 2 homicides Monday in Oakland
FROM STAFF REPORTS
Article Last Updated: 07/25/2007 09:23:35 AM PDT
OAKLAND — A 21-year-old man was shot to death Monday night in East Oakland, the second killing in nine hours.
He was identified as Antoine Williams of Oakland.
The shooting took place at 9:34 p.m. Monday in the 1600 block of 90th Avenue where it intersects with Plymouth Street, police said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Police do not have a motive or a suspect.
The killing was Oakland's 69th homicide of the year. Last year at this time there were 78.
Also on Monday, Carlos Guzman, 38, of Antioch, was gunned down at 12:30 p.m. at an East Oakland stereo installer's shop in the 5100 block of International Boulevard.
Guzman was an American offshore boat racer, well known in local racing circles, and had brought his $600,000 boat to the shop to have a music system installed. The boat, "Frisco Cat," was on a special trailer because of its large size.
While he was there, the killer rode up on a motorcycle, opened fire on him numerous timesand then sped off. He was killed instantly. Police doubt if robbery or carjacking was the motive.
"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that he was selected out to be murdered," Sgt. Tim Nolan said Tuesday.
Nolan said police have an idea why Guzman was killed, but would not elaborate.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money for information leading to an arrest in each killing. Anyone with information should call police at 238-3821 or Crime Stoppers at 238-6946.

[Smiley]

I only got to meet Los a few times and getting to meet people who are larger than life like Los is not an every day happening. Reading all these great stories and hearing about what an amazing person he was just makes losing him all that much harder.
The first time I met him was on one of the cold weather runs a year or two ago when he and little Los took the STV out and lost the prop shaft and NP had to tow them into Union Point. Los just laughed shook his head and hopped in with NP and everyone had a great day! Even after meeting Los once he always had kind word and that big silly grin. And boy could he chat your ear off!
Cherish your loved ones, your memories, and the friendships you have every single day for you never know what tomorrow will bring. My prayers are with his family and all of his friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Keep his memories close in your hearts and he will be with you always.

Great to see so many good people to make this great day happen. :) Again thanks to D-rat, DCBob, Nice pair & Shorty for getting it all put together. :) Jen, that was a great tribute to Los, very heart felt. :( 707 Dog I do want some of those t-shirts you made, very cool. PM me with info. :cool:

[Poker Runs West]

It was great to see the turnout for the run. Sorry we had to miss out on the video but I had a commitment back in Sac.
A great man is very much in the hearts of many.
With the blessing and encouragement of the family we are dedicating the entire days events on October 13 to Carlos with the party that night in remembrance of him. See the new thread here.
We could use pictures and video clips to put together something for that night. Jen could you contact me with help on this since you already have something together?
Eddie said he has the commemorative t-shirts covered, looks like we have the stripper pole and t-shirt contest put together and a great band hired.
Anyone that wants to help out give me a call.

Thanks to everyone who played a part in making it so memorable. Thanks again to Keith and Maggie for the fun ride back. It felt good to let all those petals fly for our fallen comrade at 105+mph. If anyone would like a copy of the tribute video please pm me with their address and/or info. Look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

most of you know I've been off the boards for a while focusing on other things, but the Delta Lunch Bunch holds a special place in me with great memories in the short 2-3 years I've gotten to know some of the NorCal peeps doing what we love....burning gas in the sun, fog, wind, rain, whatever.
So I decide to jump on during lunch today and come across this shocking thread. Can't say I knew Carlos as well as many of you but like the trend of comments have established, what a great guy that didn't let his obsession with the most insane boats get in the way of asking how life was treating you first. Thanks to the Delta bunch I had several good times boating on the same runs as Carlos, his family, & whatever crew fought to get a seat on one off his badass rigs. Whether it was on the delta, in Sactown during B2B, or at the Cat Attacks....it was always fun to float with & run along side him...well, actually as he blew past us. Always cool with a big happy smile, always had time to chat, & again always genuinely inquired as to how you were doing before anything else. I'm just blown away by this and saddened that I could not be a part of the memorial lunch run in honor & respect of Mr. Carlos Guzman. I still remember being at Orwood for my first Delta Lunch run and watching him & his crew roll up in an amazing super-slammed H2 with the 32 Advantage in tow. Then seeing him roll up other times with The Wild Thang, Then the STV, Rappin with him at B2B's on the Poker Runner, Cat Attacks, watching him bombing in the E-Ticket, and finally seeing him on the freeway heading through Sac with the superbad Nor-Tech on the way to Shasta this year which I am now especially saddened that I missed. The Carlos I knew had an exceptional love for the ultimate in powerboats, made it happen with a stable unlike any other, yet was down to earth and just another guy on the water who lived by the boater's rule every time out. Our lunch runs will forever be changed with an obvious void and I think it safe to say....every lunch run from now on will be a memorial of sorts for the sudden loss of one of our own. RIP Carlos Guzman. I'll miss seeing you on the water.

Carlos was one of the best guys you could be around, my family and I will miss him. My middle daughter said the other night while up in Lake Shasta as she was getting ready to sleep on the top deck of the houseboat she pointed out to me that there was a new star in the sky and that it is Uncle Carlos looking down on us shining as bright as he always had. This brought tears to my eyes. I will now always look up to see his star in the sky and remember was great friend and person he was to me and my family. We all will miss you.

[Phat Matt]

Damn. I just found out about this. That's crazy!
RIP Carlos. :(

[diggler]

I want to pay my respects to Carlos as well. I didn't know him well, but he was always laughing it up. I think most of us could do well by following his example of being in a great mood all the time. It certainly had a positive affect on the folks around him. RIP Carlos

thats pretty cool that some took the time to write that up, but what was sad was the list of memorial shrines around that city tooooo sad !!

[hulshot]

What can I say or add that has not been said. We will miss you Carlos. There are many good thoughts and memories that I and we will all hold close to us of our times with you. The Lunch Bunch and many others have lost a good friend. Keep burning the race gas and dont ever let off. The memories will live on forever. RIP LOS........ :(

[customryder]

How is his wife doing? I had the pleasure of meeting her when Carlos came to KY to buy the nor tech.. they were both very friendly.. I hope his family is well
God Speed Los

Dang..I just saw this thread. Unbelievable. Carlos was a cool ass dude. The last time I saw him was at the poker run in Havi. He showed me his boat and hauler and was stoked about the whole setup. Im shocked and saddened to see such a loss. RIP my friend.
