The death of the 35-year-old restaurateur Carlos Abrahams was announced when his wife, Ronjera Abrahams, shared the devastating news on Monday.  'To my forever love, my best friend, my husband words cannot describe the pain that I feel,' she wrote on Facebook.  The beloved husband and father owned Crav’N Caribbean, a Jamaican restaurant and food truck in Charlotte.  Abrahams, who owns a hair salon business and performs home decorating for owners of Airbnbs and VRBOs, shared little surrounding the circumstances of her husbands death, but said that she would 'never be the same.' 'God please just strengthen me even more as I try to navigate life without the man that I’ve been with for 16 years while raising our children,' she wrote. The couple made headlines last year after Abrahams gave birth to quadruplets in December 2024.  After learning of the rare pregnancy in the summer of that year, Abrahams recalled to the Charlotte Observer how her husband had been her rock.  The death of the 35-year-old restaurateur Carlos Abrahams was announced after his wife, Ronjera Abrahams, shared the devastating news on Monday The beloved husband and father owned Crav’N Caribbean, a Jamaican restaurant and food truck in Charlotte The couple made headlines last year after Abrahams gave birth to quadruplets in December 2024. Now, the four infants are 18 months old and Abrahams said she would be moving home for support in raising their children 'What are we gonna do,' she recalled asking Carlos at the time.  'We're gonna take care of them,' he replied.   After 36 days in the NICU, the four newborns, Ariayah, Aniyah, Cayden, and Carter,  were finally on their way home to their three other brothers.  Now, the four infants are 18 months old and Abrahams said she would be moving home for support in raising their children.
