Patriots, once more we have been called to stand for a hero that stood for us. We will answer this call with honor and respect.
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Andres Arango (age 39), an allied trades warrant officer, died on July 3rd, 2023. He joined the Army in July 2002 and was stationed in Germany in the 512th Maintenance Company where he made lifelong friendships, met his wife Rosalind and was inspired by his leaders to pursue a career as a warrant officer. He became a warrant officer in 2009 and went on to be a graduate of the Allied Trades Technician Warrant Officer Advanced Course in 2013 and the Ordnance Warrant Officer Intermediate Level Education Course in 2019. He was recognized as a Demonstrated Senior Logistician. Andres served over 21 years on active duty with various deployments, duty stations, achievements and accolades.
His awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, and the Army Commendation Medal with five Oak Leaf Clusters. But what Andres was most proud of included his impressively long list on his driving qualifications license, his many trades certifications and his Schützenschnur qualification.
He leaves behind his wife Rosalind, and their two children, Adrian (age 11) and Luis (age 6), who he loved deeply. He also leaves his parents Fernando and Luz Arango and his sister Pamela Arango and her family, a large extended family including cousins, aunts and uncles, mother and father-in-laws, sister and brother-in-laws, and several nieces and nephews. Andres will be sorely missed by his family, community of friends and fellow service members.
Funeral Services will be 10:00 AM Friday, August 18, 2023 at the All American Chapel, 5301 Ardennes Street, Fort Liberty, NC 28310 with Chaplain (MAJ) Michael Bielefeld officiating.
