Mauricio Arango Obituary (1969 - 2024)

Mauricio Arango, also affectionately known as Oscar Mauricio, passed away on May 7, 2024. Born in the vibrant city of Envigado, Antioquia, Colombia, on August 15, 1969, Mauricio led a life filled with laughter, adventure, and the humble joy of simple pleasures. Mauricio was a funny and adventurous soul who never missed an opportunity to bring a smile to those around him. His infectious laugh was a beacon of joy in the lives of many. He was humble, never boasting about his accomplishments, but instead, letting his actions speak for themselves. Mauricio was a dedicated worker, spending 15 years in building management, where his love for hands-on work and his skill in construction shone brightly. His humble beginnings in Colombia shaped him into the hardworking, dedicated individual he was. In his leisure time, Mauricio was a lover of the beach, old music, and the simple joy of a Heineken paired with a smoke. He had a passion for crafting things with his own hands, a testament to his dedication and creativity. His love for adventure was evident in his enjoyment of traveling on his scooter and biking, always eager to explore and experience the world around him. As Mark Twain once said, "Explore. Dream. Discover." These words, Mauricio lived by. He leaves behind his cherished niece, Stephanie Maldonado, who will forever remember her Uncle Mauricio's loving nature and his zest for life. Mauricio was preceded in death by his parents, Gustavo Arango and Rosa Velez. He was a man who loved deeply, laughed heartily, and lived fully. We invite all who knew and loved Mauricio to share their memories and upload photos to his memorial page, to keep his spirit alive in our hearts and minds. His life may have ended, but his story continues in each of us.
