ROSE HILL — Wilson Urrutia Arandia, 36, left this earthly life way too soon Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2017, at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville due to cancer.
He was born Dec. 3, 1980, in Valenzuela, Philippines, and was the loving son of Estrella M. Ricci and stepfather, John of Rose Hill, and the late William Arandia.
Surviving, in addition to his parents, are his twin sons, Gabriel Adam Arandia and Tavyn Isaac Arandia of Greenville; sisters, Elleine Clay and her husband, Jerome of Warsaw, and Leila Foley and Chris Turner of Mount Olive; favorite nieces, Lily Brooke Foley and Mila Noel Turner; and numerous extended family and friends who loved Wilson dearly.
Wilson was a devoted father, caring son and brother. He was a simple man who loved life to the fullest and his world revolved completely around his boys. With a witty personality, Wilson was a prankster who enjoyed making others laugh. He never met a stranger and loved being around people. Wilson’s passion was spending time with his boys and lifting weighs. He will surely be missed, but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved Wilson.
The family will receive friends from 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 10, at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home, Wallace Chapel. Funeral services will held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at the funeral home with Father Roch officiating. Interment will follow the service.
