Palabras no tengo, y todavia no lo creo. Mi amigo querido te voy a extrañar toda la vida. No importaba la distancia siempre estabamos en contacto, extrañare tus mensajes bobos que me hacian reir, y nuestras citas de almuerzo cada que estaba yo en Dallas. Te fuiste y todavia me debes mi botella de aguardiente. Mi amigo hermoso y risueño que descanses en paz. Y mi mas sentido pesame al resto de la familia que Dios les de consuelo y fuerzas para superar esta perdida. Y no es Adios si no hasta luego.

I just found out about this tragedy and I'm saddened for the pain your mother and father are having. I knew Arnold from elementary school.... time took us our separate ways but seeing you a few years back was cool, I haven't been by your parents business in a long time but every time I would stop by I would ask your mother about you..... She also had excellent things to say about you man. One thing I will never forget about you was that little hop you had in your walk, my the Lord have your soul. Viva Colombia!
