H.R. No. 1879
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The untimely death of Officer Adrian Arellano of the
El Paso Police Department on March 18, 2015, at the age of 39, has
brought a profound loss to his loved ones and to the community he
served; and
WHEREAS, A longtime resident of El Paso, "Curtis" Arellano
graduated from Socorro High School in 1995 and had worked in the
department for the past 10 years; he was steadfast in his dedication
to protecting the safety and welfare of the public, and after only
two years on the force, he was given a special assignment to the
department's tactical section; and
WHEREAS, Officer Arellano's gruff, no-nonsense exterior
belied his warm heart and generous nature; he was a true friend to
many, and his affection and devotion to his wife of 13 years,
Margaret, and their son, Adrian, were apparent to all who knew him;
he cherished his role as a father and always strove to set an
honorable example; and
WHEREAS, Though Officer Arellano's life ended far too soon,
he leaves behind a record of service that his loved ones can
remember with pride; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Officer Adrian
Arellano and extend deepest condolences to the members of his
family: to his wife, Margaret Arellano; to his son, Adrian Arellano
Jr.; to his parents, Juan Manuel and Estela Arellano; to his
brothers, Juan Carlos and Steven and his wife, Ginesa Snelling; to
his sister, Mayra; to his nephews, Mario and Aaron; to his niece,
Alicia; to his grandparents, Manuel Arellano and Arcadia Huerta; to
his brothers-in-law, Jerry Delgado and his wife, Patricia, and
Fidel Rivera Jr.; to his mother-in-law, Romelia Rivera; to his
brothers and sisters in blue; and to his other friends and
relatives; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Officer
Adrian Arellano.
