Carlos Ceballos, 71, of North Haven passed away peacefully on Jan. 14, after living with Alzheimer’s disease for several years. He was the beloved husband of Nancy Ceballos for 35 years. Carlos was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Oct. 17, 1950, and was the son of the late Elba Santini and Osvaldo Ceballos, Sr.

He was the devoted and much-loved father of the late Katrina Ceballos, Carissa Vega (Mauriel), Christopher Ceballos, and Jillian Ceballos (fiancé Yader); doting grandfather (aka “Grampy Scampy”) of Soleil and Kai Vega; and loving brother of Osvaldo Ceballos (Terry) and Lynette Hoyt (Fred). He is also survived by nephews Antonio Hernandez (Yesenia) and Richard Ceballos (Melissa), niece Elizabeth Ceballos (Bruce Moore), sisters-in-law Jeanne Clement and Carol Delfino, and his former wife Sonia Caban. He was predeceased by his mother-in-law Anita Clement.

Carlos obtained a B.A. from Fordham University, an AAS from Long Island University’s Physician Assistant Program, and an MPH from Yale University School of Epidemiology and Public Health. Carlos was a medical officer in the Connecticut Army National Guard and later worked as a neonatal physician assistant at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford. He transitioned into public health administration, working at Fair Haven Community Health and the Connecticut State Department of Health Services. In 1992, Carlos became the coordinator of School-Based Health Centers for the New Haven Public School system. During his tenure, Carlos expanded the program from 2 to 15 centers, providing equitable access to medical and dental care to students in New Haven. He retired from this position in 2014, having made a profound impact on the provision of health services for underserved families in the community.

Carlos enjoyed photography, history, the outdoors, and charting the course on family vacations that touched on all three. He was a lifelong learner who enjoyed sharing his discoveries with his loved ones. Carlos was an active member of the Boy Scouts of America since he was a young boy and became a troop leader later in life. He was an active parishioner of St. John’s Episcopal Church, where he served on the Vestry, led a variety of community outreach projects, and participated in the Brotherhood of St. Andrew.
