My prayers go out to you, Mrs. Arana and your children. I am so saddened by your loss. I didn't know your husband but he must have been a very special man from what I have read about him. I know that no words can console you and your children at this time but I pray time will lessen the pain. No one can take away the love and memories that you shared. God bless you all.

I'm very sorry for your loss although I never got the chance to know Mr. Arana as a person I did get the chance to meet him a couple of months ago. He pulled me over for my license plate light missing one night. He asked for my license and when he saw my last name turned out to be pretty good friends with my dad. They were contractors together overseas. He laughed shared a couple stories about the two of them and told me to be careful sending me off with a warning. Just wanted to share my story with you on how I met Mr. Arana such a nice man. Your family is in my prayers again I am very sorry for your loss.

We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us, one by one,
The Chain will link again.

Thank you for your service to our Country and State.

Our deepest condolences go out to The Arana Family. In these cases, Faith & Time are our best friends. We also lost our loved one a few months ago. This tragedy has taken us back to the shock, disbelief, and pain we went through when our loved one was called to the Lord. Yes, life has changed for you Arana Family, but if you keep God in your daily life, you will see that acceptance is much easier. Stay strong and united.

My prayers go out to the entire Arana family. Javier will be a great loss but those who really knew him would agree he would say, "Don't cry for me, I'll be alright"! Javier always put everyone else first, heaven needed an angel like him to watch over the rest of us.... Javier I was honored to get to know who you really were. You were truly an inspiration to me. I admired
your devotion to serving your country and at the same time enjoying life always smiling. You always had a special place in my heart.. Thanks for your hard work here on earth and may you continue up there in heaven, I'm sure your kids will be proud of their daddy!.. Thanks for all the good times I'll never forget. It's not goodbye but I'll see you later!! Rest in peace my friend OOOH RAH!!

Thank you for keeping us all safe, we appreciate your service. As hard as it is to admit, our children are never ours, they are loan to us for a period of time that God sees fit. As with Trooper Aranas, he was here to serve a purspose, his duty was fulfilled now he's moved to become a Guadian Angel. Thank you Trooper Aranas, I know all of DPS is in pain and sorrow, as they lost a HERO and honorable Trooper, but God has now gained an Angel.
