Carlos M. Pablos Guevara

Carlos M. Pablos Guevara, age 82, of New Castle, DE, went home to be with the Lord Wednesday, January 10, 2018. Carlos was born in Humacao, Puerto Rico to the late Francisco Pablos and Victoria Guevara. He graduated from Juan Ponce de Leon High School in Puerto Rico and attended Temple University School of Business Administration in Philadelphia where he studied law enforcement. Carlos honorably served in the National Guard in Puerto Rico and then served in the Philadelphia Police Department for 15 years. He was selected by the Police Commissioner of Philadelphia to be a member of the security team for Mayor Frank Rizzo’s tenure. Carlos was president of the Spanish American Police Association and belonged to the Lions Club Fraternity in Philadelphia. He was so dedicated to helping others in need that later in his career with the police department he transitioned into a new role in the Community Relations Department. In this position Carlos mentored the youth and worked numerous events directly with the communities he served. After retiring from the police department, he worked as a security supervisor at Harrah’s in Atlantic City for nine years. Carlos was always involved in the communities where he lived – Philadelphia, New Jersey, Florida, Tennessee, and Delaware. He held many volunteer positions. He loved working with the youth and was a Boy Scout Troop Master. Among the many awards he was presented in his lifetime, he received the yearly St. George emblem presented by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for his outstanding contribution to the spiritual development of the Catholic youth. He enjoyed the outdoors whether it was camping, fishing, hiking or hunting. Carlos looked forward to casino trips and traveling around the country in his RV. While home, he worked in his beautiful vegetable and flower garden. Carlos was a man of many words, but he also was very thoughtful and generous. He would give you the shirt off his back and his last dollar. Carlos worked countless hours during the holiday spreading cheer and delivering meals to under privileged families. Carlos is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Lydia; sons, Francisco & wife, Lisa and Victor & wife Barbara Jean; granddaughter, Bianca; 7 siblings; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins. Carlos was a man of discipline, hard work and respect. May he rest in peace. A visitation will be held Tuesday, January 16, 2018 from 10-11 AM at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 12 Winder Rd., New Castle, DE 19720 followed by a Memorial Mass at 11 AM. Burial will be private.
