ARROYAVE
Staff Sgt. Jimmy Javier Arroyave
USMC Staff Sgt. Jimmy Javier Arroyave lost his life Thursday, April 15, 2004, while proudly serving his country on his second deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. His death was the result of a non-combat vehicle accident that occurred at 12:57 p.m. northeast of Ar Ramadi, Iraq. He was serving with the Combat Service Support Battalion 1, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, which is stationed out of Camp Pendleton.
Born Dec. 12, 1973 in Cali, Colombia, he was 30 years old. Jimmy moved to Woodland at an early age, and attended local schools, graduating from high school in 1992. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1993 and had planned on making the military his career. He was proud to be a Marine and loved the military life. In addition to this deployment to Iraq, Jimmy served in Kuwait from October 2002 until June 2003, and in Japan for 12 months in 1999. Jimmy was the recipient of the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon and the Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Ribbon.
Jimmy had several passions in life, first and foremost his loving family. He was a devoted son, husband, and father. He is survived by his wife Rachelle, who is three months pregnant, and daughters Vanessa and Natalia, all of Oceanside, and daughter Catie of Dixon. He also leaves behind his mother, Carmenza Brennan of Woodland, his father, Javier Arroyave of New York, and his great uncle, Guillermo Rodriguez of Florida. In addition, he is survived by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ranse and Joyce Reynolds of Woodland, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Jimmy made a point to call his mother from Iraq over the Easter Holiday. And, in addition to frequent e-mails to his wife, three days prior to his death, he wrote a letter to his wife and daughters in Oceanside. The letter arrived on April 19th and is a poignant and cherished reminder of his love for them.
Jimmy was an avid supporter of the National Parks, planning vacation destinations based on the proximity of national parks. He carried his National Parks Passport book with him on all their family trips. A 10-day trip to visit the National Parks on the Big Island of Hawaii in May of this year was postponed when Jimmy was notified of his second deployment to Iraq. Jimmy was so proud when Vanessa was selected to be a participant in the pilot Junior Ranger program at the Channel Islands National Park, near Ventura. The entire family spent a weekend there touring the park, going by boat to the Islands, and taking part in the development of the learning program for young park enthusiasts. This last family trip took place two weeks before Jimmy left for Iraq.
Jimmy was a believer in physical fitness and rarely missed a workout. He was a huge fan of the Sacramento Kings, following their seasons since they first arrived in the Capitol City area. Jimmy was also a devoted fan of Colombian soccer. Deportivo Cali was his favorite team.
