Their Story
Remembering Duke A. Carrillo.
Duke was lost on February 8, 2020, after collapsing during the last portion of the semi-annual physical readiness test.
He was a native of Flower Mound, Texas. At Flower Mound High School, he was a three-year varsity letterman in football and wrestling and captained both teams. He attended the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Rhode Island in 2018 before joining the Naval Academy class of 2022. As a Quantitative Economics major, Carrillo earned high marks including a 4.0 GPA in this last semester, according to literature handed out at his services.
"He worked his entire life with a constant goal to serve his country," according to a memorial pamphlet. "Duke was fiercely loyal with the strength of a giant and the tenderness of a teddy bear."
