On October 6, 2023, Carlos Carreras died as the result of a auto accident in Arthur County, NE. He was 34 years old.
Carlos, the son of Julie and Michael Carreras, was born in Garden City, KS, on April 9, 1989. As an infant the family returned to North Platte where Carlos grew up. He was active in Boy Scouts and was the top popcorn seller for several years.
Carlos graduated from North Platte High School, then worked various jobs before going to work for Contractor Services, a job he'd been doing for the past 8 years.
Carlos was independent and appreciated his Native American heritage. He was liked by everyone and like his father, he liked to play pool. Carlos especially loved his daughters, Lily and Luna, and would do anything for them. He has been taken from us all too soon.
He was preceded in death by his father, Michael.
Survivors include his mother and stepfather, Julie and Dana Lyon of Kentucky; daughters, Lily and Luna, grandmother, Mary Carreras, and his friend, Daniel Small, all of North Platte; as well as other family and friends.
Cremation was chosen and services will be held at a later date. Online condolences may be shared at odeanchapel.com. Odean Colonial Chapel at C & Sycamore is in charge of arrangements.
