 SSG Carlos Daniel Lemus was born on December 07, 1989, to Emilio Lemus and Silvia Reyes Lemus in Los Angeles, CA. As a child he was always so kind and well behaved. His family always remembers his drive to help others even as a young child and that same drive is what encouraged him to join the United States Army at the age of only seventeen. Carlos was a Combat Medic in the 4th Squadron 9th US Calvary Regiment at Fort Hood Military Base. He married Kelly Imperial on April 10, 2015. Kelly had two daughters when they met, and he loved them like they were his own. As his wife Kelly would say, “Carlos was kind of a nerd, but in a good way.” He enjoyed making model kits of all kinds, video games like Warhammer and Gundam, and visiting Barnes & Nobles in different cities. Carlos also liked working on trucks, going for motorcycle rides on his Harley, traveling, and loved his dog, Sora. He is survived by his parents, Emilio and Silvia Lemus of Helendale, CA ;his wife and best friend, Kelly Imperial of Killeen; his stepdaughters, Adrianna Lane of Killeen and Solana Diaz-Imperial of Maryland; his two brothers, Caesar Lemus of Victorville, CA, Emilio Lemus Jr. of Sunland, CA; his two sisters Lorena Lemus of Whittier, CA, Martha Barete of West Covina, CA, numerous cherished family members, friends, and brothers in arms.

This fundraiser was organized to help provide support to the family in this time of tragedy. 

TIL VALHALLA BROTHER.
