My last fireworks show was with Chris. We worked together side-by-side one afternoon in the Nevada heat as we set up for the grand reopening of the Palms Casino. It was my most enjoyable time on that gig. What a lovely, big-hearted man he was who had such a calming yet energizing effect on me in stressful situations. I will always be grateful for his kindness, including the reassuring support he provided from New York while I was working admin/logistics on a KSA world record. It was my pleasure to know Chris. May he rest in peace.

Always in our hearts, Chris, you will be sorely missed.
My first introduction to the Carlino family was at a Wed night family dinner, a dinner held weekly in this big Italian family. When I asked Dave what I should wear, he said, "well my brother Chris always wears a Grucci shirt, you'll be fine." I immediately headed out shopping to fit in with a brother that wears designer chothes (Gucci). Of course when I got to dinner, I was seated right across from Chris, wearing his signature t shirt, as welcoming a presence as I could ever hope for. And from then on Chris welcomed me and treated me like a sister. He was a presence at every party and dinner, and he'll remain present in my heart forever.

Sandy, Nicole & Christopher,
I want to extend my heartfelt condolences on your loss to you & the entire Carlino family. I can’t imagine what you must be feeling right now. No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. But take comfort in knowing that Chris is now resting in the arms of our Lord. I pray for you to have the strength to get through these very difficult times. The ones we love are never gone; they live within our hearts. I spent the last exciting 25 years working with Chris and watched him touch so many of our lives. I am so proud to have been his friend and share in so many accomplishments. I will cherish those memories forever. May God put Chris in a special place where he will be watching over us, the people who loved and cherished him!

I will miss working with you and miss your presence immensely Chris. I never forgot that time in Morocco I told you to give me the job nobody else wants to do, and you did. Later driving by on your ATV you stopped and said, hey Kev, be careful what you wish for, you always had a wicked sense of humor! It has been a honor to work with you all these years and I will miss you and think of you on every show. God speed Chris...

I want to extend my deepest condolences to you & the entire Carlino family. I pray for you to have the strength to get through these very difficult times.

May God guide you, and may you find peace knowing how much Chris was loved by so many.
Love,

Dear Sandy, Nicole and Christopher. Phil and I had the pleasure of meeting Chris at our office in 1993...27 long years ago, but for Phil and I it seems like just yesterday. We had the honor of watching him develop his career, find love and have a beautiful family. When we would walk into the office Chris would always greet us with his huge smile and a warm “good morning!” When my Mother passed away, I was told “What was once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose, as for all that we have loved deeply becomes a part of us forever.” Phil and I share in your family’s grief with the loss of Chris. Trust in your faith and know he is your guardian angel forever. Much Love and Prayers Donna and Phil

Chris Carlino
I have worked with Chris over the past 20 years and can say he was one of the top Pyrotechnic project leaders on this planet. I was blessed to work with Chris on several of these projects. He exuded leadership when things did not go to plan and always had a way out of problems which are endless in projects he managed. I was always amazed at his consistency of being grounded in tough situations. He never wasted time with complaining but just got job done and delivered results. In the fog of war on major productions he is the best I have ever seen. Chris never wanted credit for the glory but rather took his accomplishments to better his personal family which he cherished. Chris and I are good friends and I am grateful to have been associated with him over the years. He enjoyed humorous side of life with a serious approach to very challenging situations. I can say he effected my life as a model for how to be in tough situations and values of family. God bless him and his family.
