In loving memory of Elio Arzate

Elio Arzate, our world will not be the same without you. On Feb 4th, 2023 you took your last breath. It was sudden and totally unexpected. Elio had two Infectious leaking Valves in his heart that unfortunately collapsed without any signs or symptoms. Regardless the title of Son, Husband, Friend, Father, Uncle, Coworker, Boss or Brother; Elio was the best.

Elio was funny, he was kind and he was devoted to his family day in and day out. He was the life of the party and brightened any room he walked into. His smile was something he wore often and his laugh was contagious to anybody near. Elio and his partner Amanda had created a beautiful masterpiece of a friendship that was filled with love, compassion and dedication to their children. Setting a perfect environment conducive for success for their family. This masterpiece was left broken with so many questions left unanswered. Why Elio? Why someone so selfless, caring, loving and ALIVE? He was so full of life each and every day that we were all blessed enough to be with him.

He is the father to Andrew (8) and Madelynn (6) who he cherished with his entire heart and soul as did they. Andrew and Elio were Best Friends and his Princess Madelynn was the Light of his life. He made a point daily to ensure his family was provided for and mostly, Loved. Elio, without question, would extend his hand to anybody in need.

You were a rock in our families. Strong, sturdy and reliable. Imagining our families standing without you seems at this time to improbable. But as a family, we will rally around each other, and we will stay strong for you. We will rally around your babies and share our cherished memories often with each other. You will be missed more than can be put into words.

As his family sifts through the debris of this loss we wanted to create a GoFundMe to support them in any way possible with financial burdens in the very near future including Elio’s funeral services and costly medical bills. As we cannot take the pain and grief away, anything donated will help with the outlying financial terrors of losing a Father and Partner in a household.

Thank you so much.

Elio, we love you!
