Dear Family and Friends,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Carlos Manuel Lao (August 7, 1958 – June 11, 2026).

Carlos was a hardworking construction worker who took great pride in building homes and communities, as well as the lasting friendships he made throughout his career. He enjoyed spending time at his local hangout, the excitement of electronic slot machines, and sharing stories and laughter in good company.

A devoted father, Carlos is survived by his children, Jessica and Shawn Lao. He was preceded in death by his son, Randyn Lao; his mother, Manuela Lao; and his brothers, Radame and Richard Lao. His family finds comfort in knowing he has been reunited with them. He will be deeply missed by the many friends and loved ones touched by his kindness and humor.

We invite you to join us for a Celebration of Life to gather, share memories, and honor Carlos:

Date: Sunday, June 28, 2026

Time: 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Location: High Tops Bar, Edgewater, Florida

Carlos will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

I had many good man-to-man conversations about life and family. If you knew him, you were blessed by his life lessons and good advice!

My dad came to my apartment 8 months ago and dove my trike scooter around the circle he had so much fun.
