Carlos tweets about his Own Obituary
Additionally, he tweeted a passage from Blood, Sweat, and Tears’ song “And When I Die” that may serve as his own obituary:
And when I die
and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
There'll be one child born and
a world to carry on, to carry on
I'm not scared of dying
and I don't really care
If it's peace you find in dying,
well, then let the time be near. https://t.co/Gvgud53rr6— Carlos Pacheco (@Cpachecoficial) October 11, 2022
