Steve Arrington Obituary

Steve D'Angelo Arrington, aka "Rain", 19, Glendale Ave., made his transition to glory on January 5, 2010, at Hamot Medical Center. Steve was born June 12, 1990, in Erie, son of Steve and Sonya Arrington. A lifelong resident of Erie, Steve was a graduate of Central Technical High School where he played football and belonged to the Boys and Girls Club. He was employed at Best Buy as a Computer Technician and was a member of the "Geek Squad". He was known throughout the family for his tech skills and computer programming. At the age of thirteen he became interested in music and writing poetry and lyrics. He began to compose several songs for his "future album recording" as he called it and some of his songs can be heard on MySpace. He used the name "Rain" for his musical endeavors as a rapper and his peers then began to call him "Rain". Steve also had a great hand for drawing and sketching and loved sports of all types, especially the Oakland Raiders football team. He loved working out, playing basketball, making people laugh and had a great smile. Steve was blessed with a lovely daughter whom he called "Mommie" and was a great Dad. He loved spending time with his daughter, sisters and family and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Steve accepted Christ in his life in October of 2009 and was a member of First Born Apostolic Faith Church of God. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, George Arrington, Sr.; his grandmother, Lauretta Tate Williams; an uncle, Jamie Arrington; and twin nieces, Alaya and Azaya Grayson. In addition to his parents, Steve leaves to cherish his loving memory a daughter, Kamiria Arrington; two sisters, Vanesha Arrington and Lisa Marie Arrington; his grandmother, Barbara Arrington; his grandfather, Christopher Williams, Jr.; two nephews, Stephen Grayson and Marquell Hansbrew, Jr.; a special friend, Whitney Flemmings; a special cousin, Terrell Arrington and a host of relatives and friends. Friends may visit with the family on Tuesday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., at First Born Apostolic Faith Church of God, 1221 E. 19th St., and may attend a funeral service on Wednesday, 11 a.m., with Bishop Climatee Roberts officiating.

Sonya --
We were friends at Diehl and met up again in high school. I remember talking and playing. I remember just being kids. How hard it is now to be mothers and have to watch our babies hurt:( Believe that Steve is no longer hurting. He is with God in his House, having a fantastic time. He is waiting for you - but only when your job here is done. And, from what I have been hearing on the news, your job, your purpose in life, may have just begun. How blessed you are to know what God intends for you to do.

God Bless you, Steve your whole family.
