Jose Arenas Obituary
He was a graduate of East High School in 2000. Jose, Junior or Jun, as he was referred to by many, was a passionate man and a natural born leader with a servant's heart that would do anything for his family and friends. He was a loving father with an endearing heart. People were drawn to his undeniable sense of humor and witty personality.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Amalia Santiago Santos and his paternal grandmother, Salome Becerra.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sons, Ricardo Arenas and Emiliano Arenas, daughter, Natalia Arenas, his longtime girlfriend and her children, Oshianah and Vincent Rieger, brothers, Richard Santiago (Sarah) and Carlos Arenas (Jessica), sisters, Millie Wolf (Richard), Ramonita Ruiz-Santiago, Maria Arenas-Jordan, and Lisette Vincent (Jon), and many aunt, uncles, nieces, and nephews.
He will be greatly missed and we will celebrate his life and the man he was.
