In Loving Memory of Henry Arzola: A Life of Generosity, Joy, and Unforgettable Light
It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Henry Arzola on July 24, 2025. A beloved son, father, grandfather, and dear friend to many, Henry’s sudden departure has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He was known not only for the warmth of his smile but also for the warmth he gave so freely to the world around him.
Henry lived a life rooted in kindness, faith, and service to others. To those who had the honor of knowing him, he was a shining example of compassion in action. Whether it was helping a neighbor in need, offering words of encouragement to a friend going through a tough time, or simply greeting someone with his trademark cheerful spirit—Henry had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and uplifted.
Born and raised in a community that came to deeply love and respect him, Henry embraced every role in his life with open arms. He was a loving father to Lashya Johnson Arzola, and a proud grandfather whose eyes would light up whenever he spoke of his granddaughter. His love for his family was fierce and unshakeable. They were the center of his universe and the source of his greatest pride. His legacy lives on in them—in their strength, their resilience, and the love they carry forward.
To his friends, Henry was a dependable soul—someone who would drop everything to help, who always listened without judgment, and who had a natural gift for bringing joy to any situation. His laughter was contagious, his presence grounding, and his heart so big it seemed to touch everyone who crossed his path.
Though he is no longer with us in the physical sense, Henry’s spirit endures in the countless lives he touched. He leaves behind not only the sorrow of parting but a lasting legacy of light. His family has expressed heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love and support they have received during this deeply difficult time. As they prepare to give Henry the Christian burial he deserves, they are comforted by the memories, prayers, and kind gestures of a community that was enriched by his life.
A celebration of Henry’s life will be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, those who knew him are encouraged to honor his memory in the most fitting way possible: by helping others, by loving fiercely, and by never missing a chance to brighten someone’s day—just as Henry always did.
To Lashya, her daughter, and the entire Arzola family: we stand with you in grief and remembrance. May you find peace in knowing how loved Henry was, and how deeply his life mattered.
Henry Arzola, your time on this earth may have ended too soon, but your legacy of joy, faith, and unshakable kindness will live on forever in the hearts of all who were blessed to know you. Thank you for the love you shared and the light you brought into our lives. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
