John Collins Arsenault Obituary

John was born in Denver and grew up in Original Town Superior, CO. He attended Fireside Elementary, Horizons Middle School and New Vista High School and received a BA from the University of Colorado also attending McGill University and University of Arizona. He was a musician, artist and employed by Real Capital Solutions as a stock analyst. He will be remembered for his kindness and gentle spirit. He studied and learned from all religions and enjoyed his travels to Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Nicaragua, Grand Canyon and many trips to visit relatives in Canada. He is survived by his parents, Cynda and Marcel Collins Arsenault and predeceased by his sister, Erin Arsenault. He will be missed by so many family and friends who love him dearly.

Marcel & Cynda, you are both in my thoughts as you cope with this loss. I have lost friends, colleagues, brothers-in-arms, and buried my father just last June... But none of that can compare with how it must feel to lose a child.

I wish you both healing and peace.

Dearest Cynda, No one should lose their beloved son or daughter. Though I didn't meet John, I know he was precious, unique and full of spirit. We don't get to understand, but I trust we will meet them again where they are full of their enormous joy and peace.

Dear Cynda,
I just learned about this heart heartbreaking news today. I was shocked and sadden by this. I remember meeting John at Ras Kassa's when he came to see you for something. That was our first meeting to get to know each other. This was in 2015. That short encounter with John left a great impression on me. I am deeply sorry. May he rest in peace!!

Our hearts and souls are so heavy with this news. I'm so sorry. He was such a sweet soul and definitely one of the greats in this world. I will miss our conversations and passion for many things such as music, art and seeing the world so fabulously through the eye of a camera. We love you Marcel and Cynda.
