Gus had a love for sports, especially the Dallas Cowboys, and was a lifelong sports enthusiast. He began playing soccer at just five years old, a sport he truly loved and excelled throughout his life. Soccer was more than just a game to Gus; it was a passion that stayed with him.

But perhaps his greatest passion was music. At just 15 years old, Gus began dedicating his life to music, building a name and a legacy as DJ GRock the Legend. What started as a passion became a lifelong calling. For more than four decades, he shared his love of music with others, bringing people together through the sound, energy, and joy he created. His dedication was unwavering, continuing to DJ until just two days before his passing. Music was not simply something Gus loved; it was a part of who he was. His name, his music, and the memories he created will continue to live on.

Gus was preceded in death by his beloved brother, Albert Carrizales Jr. He leaves behind his loving children: Amber Nicole Day, Destiny Veressa Jefferson, Asia Breion Anguiano, Marcus Carrizales, Gus Carrizales Jr., Mallory Delores Ytuarte, and Trenton Steve Martinez (Carrizales), who will forever carry his love and memories in their hearts.

He is also survived by his father, Albert Carrizales, and stepmother, Mary Carrizales; his mother, Betty Gomez, and stepfather, Ruben Gomez; his sisters, Lisa Marie Carrizales Maples and Monica Renee Carrizales; his younger brother Ruben Nicholas Gomez; his stepsisters, Gloria Gomez Pina and Michelle Gomez Martin; his nephews, Ray Valdez and Marc Saucedo; his niece, Amerie Janessa Hinojosa; and countless other family members and loved ones who cherished him.

Rest in peace, Gus. You may have left this world, but you will forever live on in our hearts. DJ GRock the Legend — gone but never forgotten.
