Lance Cpl. Carlos A. Aragon of Orem, Utah is a 2008 graduate of Mountain View High School where he was friendly, quiet, and respectful. He liked to challenge himself. He would often climb the trails behind Bridal Veil Falls all the way to the top. But his favorite way to reach the top was to go straight up the mountain. Born in Mexico, he moved to Orem as a young boy. He enjoyed 70′d rock music, four wheeling, although he didn’t own his own all terrain vehicle. He satisfied that passion by driving light armored vehicles in the army. He immediately enlisted in the Marine Reserves soon after high school. Carlos was adventurous and passionate about skateboards, cars, and guitars. He never liked drawing attention to himself or even be praised for something good he had done. He leaves his mom and stepfather, Rosa and Brad Halladay. He died at age 19 while supporting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
