Anthony Arambula

Anthony "Tony" Arambula, (51 yrs old) passed away peacefully on September 24, 2025, in his home in Scottsdale, AZ. Tony's life was a testament to his unwavering spirit and the joy he brought to all who knew him. He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Lesley, and sons, Zachary and Matthew.

Tony was number 9 of 10 children. He loved being part of a large family and shared many happy moments together with them throughout his life. He is remembered as a sweet loving child, and later as a humorous and generous spirit. He is survived by his siblings, Juanita Lopez (Jose Luis), Jessie Terry (Rick), Joe Arambula (Missy), Mary Salazar (Jaime), Terry Kucera (Mark), Lupe Camargo (Jim), Carmen Medrano (Roman), Elena Horie (David), and Javier Arambula (Julia).

Tony attended St. Mary's High, and Arizona State University, where he earned his business degree. He went on to build a career in Supply Chain Management that spanned over 2 decades, beginning at Avnet, and over 14 years at Fender Musical Instruments. He loved his work, the colleagues that would become his work family, and was known for the charismatic way he would connect with others. He led his life filled with kindness, generosity, and a willingness to always lend a hand to those in need.

He had many interests that he pursued with passion. He was an avid outdoorsman who found solace in the serenity of fly tying and the thrill of fly fishing and camping under the stars. His love for the outdoors extended to casting bullets and shooting, where his precision and patience were evident. He also relished the simple pleasures of smoking cigars and cooking, often sharing these moments with good friends. Those who knew Tony will remember him as the life of the party, a man who could light up a room with his humor and warmth. His friendly demeanor made him a welcome presence at any gathering.

It was the time spent with his family that Tony cherished the most. Tony loved his family and treasured those moments filled with laughter, good food, and being surrounded by those that loved him. His life cut short brings tremendous loss, but enduring faith brings comfort that he now joins his beloved mother and father, Maria and Tereso Arambula, in heaven.

Tony's memory will continue to be a source of comfort and strength for all who were fortunate enough to have known him. Rest in Peace dear one, as your spirit endures in the hearts of the many you touched.
