We regret to announce the passing of long time Metra Territory Manager, Carlos Muniz on May 11. He was 56 years old.
Muniz was a friend with a big heart to those he worked with and to the dealers he supported.
Sean Rombach of Metra said, “While Carlos worked at Metra Electronics he touched the hearts and souls of everyone that ever met him. He was a great friend to everyone that he met,” and a “devoted father and grandfather to his family. He was truly the heart of the Muniz family. He will be greatly missed… ”
Muniz served the Southwest territory including Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas.
Metra outside rep Jonathan Brothers said, “He was known for his big New York attitude, his hilarious sense of humor and big heart. He tried to help any dealer in any way possible. He was always trying to lift everybody up around him.”
Brothers added, “We worked together for nine years. He took me under his wing and was a mentor and kind of a father figure to me and a coach. We grew to become good friends and colleagues.”
A Go Fund Me has been set up to benefit Muniz’s family here.
Carlos was indeed a great man with a big heart, I had the pleasure to be mentored by him! Todo un caballero!
