Chrys Carvajal and his siblings always would joke that he was their mother’s favorite child when they were kids. As they grew older, his oldest sister realized it was his obedience and drive that his mother admired.
“Chrys was always there. He was always a mommy’s boy, helping out mom, making sure she was OK,” Carvajal’s sister, Jennifer Ramirez, said Sunday.
Ramirez, 25, is the oldest of her four siblings, but even she looked to Carvajal as a role model. “We all admired him for his courage and his strength,” she said.
Carvajal, 19, joined the National Guard last year after graduating from Chicago Academy. He aspired to become a Chicago police officer when he turned 21.
