ARNOLD DE LA ROSA
ALAMO- Arnold De La Rosa, 48, went home to our Lord, Monday, February 27, 2017.
Born in Twin Falls, Idaho, Mr. De La Rosa had lived in Alamo, most of his life. He was a loving and caring father and friend, who enjoyed playing all sports and volunteering in the Boys and Girls Clubs coaching softball, basketball, and football. In his early years Arnold and his family would travel to work as migrant farm workers which left him many beautiful memories. Mr. De La Rosa took pride in his career of 31 years of truck driving. Arnold’s unique personality and charisma will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
