IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jose "Carlos"
Prieto
March 18, 1991 – October 28, 2025
Mr. Jose Carlos Prieto, age 34, of Dalton, Georgia, departed this life Tuesday evening, October 28, 2025, at Emory Medical Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Carlos was born on March 18, 1991, in Weslaco, Texas. A 2009 graduate of Dalton High School, he later attended Dalton State College. He was a member of Saint Joseph's Catholic Church.
Carlos was a devoted father whose greatest joy in life was his beloved daughter, Penelope Marie Prieto. His face lit up whenever he spoke of her, and his love for her was boundless and pure. He cherished the time they shared and held her close to his heart always.
Carlos also held deep love and respect for his mother and father, Sara Hernandez Prieto and Juan Luis Prieto, Sr, whose strength and kindness shaped his life. Family was at the center of everything he did—his parents, brothers, nieces, nephews, and cousins were his constant companions and greatest blessings. His laughter, generosity, and gentle spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his daughters, Penelope Marie Prieto and Rahlyn Green and their mother, Veronica Blackstock Prieto; parents, Juan Luis Prieto, Sr. and Sara Hernandez Prieto; grandmother, Flaviana Rodríguez; brothers and sisters-in-law, Juan Luis Prieto, Jr., Victor Manuel and Ruth Prieto, Luis Alberto and Melody Prieto, all of Dalton, GA, and Hector Ivan Prieto of Dallas, TX; nieces and nephews, Stephanie Prieto, Anisa Prieto, Luis Prieto, Jr., Manuel Angel Prieto, Maria Natalia Prieto, Victor Jesus Prieto, Abram Mateo Prieto, and Sarah Rosa Prieto; and cousins, Lilly Gonzales and Luis Morales, both of Houston, TX.
Services to celebrate the life of Mr. Jose Carlos Prieto will be held Saturday morning, November 1, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. at Ponders Melrose Chapel with Father Juan Jose Teran officiating. He will be laid to rest at Ponders Colonial Hills Memorial Park Cemetery and Mausoleum, with his family serving as pallbearers.
The family will receive friends at Ponders Melrose Chapel from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Friday, with Rosary being held at 7:00 p.m.
