Carlos Basulto Romero

Carlos Basulto Romero, 91-year-old beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed away July 31, 2022. He was born in San Pedro Tesistan, Jalisco Mexico and came to Watsonville as a teenager spending his entire career in agriculture. In 1972 he had an unfortunate accident which left him paralyzed. In spite of this, he and his wife continued to raise their family and taught them valuable life lessons…perseverance, strength in the face of adversity, humility, and kindness. Carlos loved being around his family and had a passion for soccer. He was truly an example to us all by having a “never quit attitude” and showing us there is always hope and love through faith no matter what life brings. We are very blessed to have had him in our lives. He will be greatly missed.
