The Ground Zero family is mourning the loss of Carlos Sanchez, affectionately known to many as “Carlitos.” A former board operator and longtime supporter of the program, Carlos was far more than a colleague—he was a devoted friend, a talented broadcaster, and a source of kindness and encouragement whose presence enriched the lives of all who knew him.
Carlos had a natural enthusiasm for radio and an unwavering passion for broadcasting. From his earliest days with Ground Zero, he threw himself wholeheartedly into his work—whether managing the board, collaborating on projects, or sharing new ideas. For him, Ground Zero was more than just a program; it was a community, a family united by curiosity, exploration, and a shared love for the unknown.
In recent years, Carlos faced significant health challenges, yet he never let them define him. He approached adversity with courage and resilience, holding onto his laughter, creativity, and dedication to others. Even when illness kept him from being in the studio, he remained deeply connected, always dreaming about new ways to contribute to the world of radio.
Among those dreams was a paranormal podcast in Spanish, a project he was excited to launch with Clyde. This vision reflected his creativity and his commitment to reaching new audiences, particularly Spanish-speaking listeners who shared his fascination with the supernatural and unexplained.
Beyond his work, Carlos will be remembered most for his warmth and compassion. He was a friend who listened without judgment, celebrated the victories of others, and offered encouragement during difficult times. His humor, empathy, and generous spirit touched countless lives, leaving behind cherished memories for everyone fortunate enough to know him.
As we grieve his passing, our hearts are with his family and closest friends. While the pain of losing him so soon is immeasurable, we hope they find comfort in knowing how deeply he was loved and how widely he will be missed.
Carlos leaves behind more than memories—he leaves a legacy of kindness, passion, and perseverance. His laughter, his voice, and his presence may be gone, but the lessons he shared and the love he gave will continue to inspire.
