A Life Well Lived
Rosalio (Leo) Arcos Sr., a beloved husband, father, papa and friend, was called home to the Lord on May 31, 2025, at the young age of 62. Born on November 1, 1962 in Santa Ana Maya, Michoacan, Mexico, Leo lived a life rooted in love, devotion and service to his family and friends.
Leo’s journey on this side of glory was marked by his humbleness, integrity and hard work ethic. His unwavering kindness and knowledge intrigued everyone he encountered. With hard working hands and a mind that never rested, Leo leaves behind a true legacy of contributions, compassion and generosity. He cherished his trucking family and his growing family farms. He inspired many to push their limits and to achieve more than what they thought possible for themselves.
Leo is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Terri. A devoted parent to Leo Jr., Ashley and JulieAnn along with their spouses Stacey, Omar and Aj and a proud papa to his 10 beautiful grandchildren; Abram, Mila, Elias, Ryan, Bayla, Jordan, Vincent, Josiah, Rosalio and AnaMaria. He is also survived by his mother, Carmen and loving brothers Sergio (Bernice), Rene (Martha), Manuel (Patricia) and Frank along with an abundance of nieces and nephews. Leo is preceded in death by his father, Francisco Arcos and his older brother Roberto Arcos.
In the arms of our merciful Savior, Leo now rests in eternal peace, welcomed into the joy of Heaven’s embrace. We find comfort in the promise of Christ: “I will live in the house of the Lord forever” (Psalms 23:6)
