Carlos Estrada Gallegos

Our beloved father, Carlos Estrada, left this world on November 25, 2023, at the age of 96. He will be sadly missed and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Carlos was born on November 24, 1927 to Reyes and Guadalupe Estrada in Chihuahua, Mexico. In 1956 he married the love of his life, Carolina Madrid and they had 5 children. In 1965 they settled in Lancaster, CA and they called it home ever since. He worked as a farmer until he retired. In his later years, he kept busy maintaining their property, listening to his favorite baseball team, Dodgers, on his little radio, doing word searches and scratching lotto tickets. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and imparting his special Grandpa wisdom.

He leaves behind his cherished wife, Carolina; his children, Adrian, Carlos, Elva (Rocky), Lupe (Frank), Reyna (Terrance); his grandchildren, Gabriel, Selena, Andres, Terrance Jr., Gabriel and Leah.
