Carlo Cayabyab Fallen Officers Foundation

Devoted son and brother, Carlo Jay Cayabyab aka “Don Carlo” peacefully passed on Wednesday September 16th, 2020 at the young age of 47 due to the Coronavirus. Carlo attended Loma Elementary, Spring Valley Middle School, and graduated from Monte Vista High School in 1991. He then went on to study at the University of California San Diego where he graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Bio-Chemistry.

Carlo also attended Platt College where he obtained a degree in Computer Graphic Design. Looking for adventure and wanting to protect and serve his country, Carlo began his Federal Service in December 2002 with the Department of Homeland Security TSA. In January 2005, Carlo transferred to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) where he spent the next 15 yrs protecting the US borders. Carlo was a very active team member with CBP where he was involved in the ATCET (Anti Terrorism Counter Enforcement Team), Narcotics Security Detail Team, MFF (Mobile Field Force), and Medical First Responder. Officer Carlo Cayabyab received the Blue Eagle Award, which is the highest award you can receive with the U.S. Customs and Boarder Patrol. Officer Cayabyab was well known in the local community, given his position as a medical first responder. As one of the few medical first responders at the Tecate Port of Entry, he was involved in many emergency medical distress calls, placing his own life at risk even as he worked to sustain the life of others. The Carlo Cayabyab Fallen Officer Fund is created to assist, support, and provide financial assistance to the families who loved one have passed away in the line of duty. Our mission is to honor the lives of our fallen heroes. Each year our fundraising group will hold activities that Carlo Cayabyab loved to participate in. Your donations to the events will keep his Aloha Spirt alive and will honor our fallen heroes.
