Publish in a newspaper

With deep love and gratitude for his life, we announce that John Arceo went home to be with the Lord on Monday the 22nd of September at the age of 80. He passed peacefully, surrounded by family, after a brave journey with Parkinson's and dementia. Born on April 2,1945 in San Antonio Tx. John's life was a testimony of faith, resilience, and love. He was a devoted husband, a guiding father, a proud grandfather, and the best role yet-a great-grandfather. To his family, he filled every gap with strength, encouragement, and unconditional love. John often spoke about legacy, and he lived his own by serving God faithfully, supporting his family, and leaving behind a home filled with love and laughter. He cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought him endless joy. He is survived by his loving wife, Gloria Arceo his children Marynell Hicklin, Norma Arceo, Ana Diaz and Virginia Kroll his grandchildren Kasandra Rivera, Andrew Rivera, Willie Cano, Rene Enriquez, Ashley Reyna, Brittney Cano,Austin Gomez,John Gomez,Hailey Gomez, Kelsey Gomez,Isabela Diaz, Joshua Poole, Jacob Kroll. great-grandchildren Christopher Reyna, Jonathan Reyna and Ezequiel Rivera and Naylie Gomez Nayana Enriquez and many extended family and friends. The family takes comfort in knowing that when John was called home, he heard the words: "Well done, good and faithful servant…enter into the joy of your Lord" (Matthew 25:23). A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday the 26th of September at Mission Park Funeral home from 5pm-8pm. where family and friends will gather to honor the man whose faith, love, and laughter will forever remain in our hearts.
