On Saturday, May 28, my beloved brother-in-law Michael Arellano was tragically and senselessly murdered at his son’s graduation celebration, on what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of his life. He was only 46 years old. Mike was always considered the life and joy of our family. He was born in El Monte, California, graduated from Arroyo High School and spent his later years in Tucumcari, New Mexico. A devoted father, son, brother & friend that will be remembered by all for the way he loved his family and friends fiercely, his dedication to protecting them, his contagious sense of humor, and his larger than life personality. We are creating this fundraiser on behalf of Mike’s family — his children, mother and siblings. Any amount is truly appreciated from the bottom of our hearts. Even if you are unable to donate, sharing this GoFundMe and YouTube video will greatly help our family. We would like to thank everyone who has helped by donating/sharing/offering respect to the family as we continue to mourn.
