Obituary:
|
Rene was born
on July 30, 1991 to Sandra and David Arciniega. He passed
away on the morning of his 19th birthday, July 30, 2010. He
is survived by his parents, his older sister Cristina and
younger brother Marcos.
Rene was sworn into the Army Reserves in February of
2010. On May 16, 2010, Rene left his home in Sachse for
Basic Training in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Both of his
parents, sister and brother were present to send him off and
wish him well. Little did they all know that this would be
the last time they would see him alive.
All throughout Basic Training, Rene would call home or
write letters and always made it a point to mention that he
was having fun and loving every minute of it. This was
reflective in his voice during phone calls. It was obvious
that this was what he wanted to do and never regretted his
decision of joining the Army.
On July 22, 2010, Rene David Arciniega received his rite
of passage from civilian to American Soldier. This was his
dream. His next step was to begin his Combat Engineering
training which started immediately after Basic Training.
On the morning of July 30, 2010, PVT Arciniega was on a
Physical Training run. He collapsed and was taken to the
local hospital. There he was pronounced dead of a cardiac
arrest.
Rene was a loving person. Those he touched were rewarded
with kindness. He could easily bring a smile to those around
him. He was loved by many and he will be greatly missed.
Rene made his dream a reality and will serve as an
inspiration to many.
Rest in peace Soldier.
