Donation Support

My name is Noraleen Bishop. I am the mother of Ian and a close friend of Carlos Aguilar-Duran. We recently received the tragic news that Carlos was murdered in a homicide several days ago. We are devastated by this unexpected loss. Carlos expressed his wish to be cremated, and we will honor that wish. Any donations received will go toward the cost of cremation, as well as an urn, and any additional items needed for his memorial services.

He is survived by his son, Ian Aguilar, his Mother, Francisca Aguilar, his Brother, Juan Aguilar, and his Sister, Carolina Aguilar.

Carlos was born in Mexico City, Mexico, and moved to the U.S. when he was about 7 or 8 years old. He attended school in West Wendover. Carlos had a talent for technology and loved working on cars and learning about mechanics. On November 6, 2015, he became the proud father of his only son, Ian J. Aguilar. Carlos was a great father; he was patient and taught Ian everything he could. They enjoyed going on outdoor adventures together.

Carlos was not perfect, and he acknowledged this. He made many mistakes and struggled with addiction throughout his life. However, he always wanted the best for Ian and worked very hard to improve his sobriety for his son's sake.

The family is grateful for any donations, support, and prayers they receive during this time.
