Farewell Ariel Travieso
This is a blog I truly wish I did not have to create. We all lost a dear friend on February 26, 2011 but most importantly someone who was a beloved Father, Son, Grandson, Brother, Partner, Uncle, Comprade, Nino, Cousin, Nephew, or in my sister's case Brother-In-Law. Sadly, it was confirmed that Ariel Travieso’s life ended at 33-years-old and to be honest I don't imagine that his contagious smile will ever end. You became my sister’s brother-in-law, and in doing so, an extension of my family and now our families have experienced another devastating loss. You will be missed, and we want you to know that so many more of us have been touched by your sudden loss but your memorable smile has left an imprint in all of us.
Ariel, I am sure you will NEVER be forgotten through the smiles, love, and friendship you gave us all.
Until we meet again…
Rest In Peace
I love you Ariel. Your in gods hands with my baby. I know you will be looking down on us from up above, watching over us. Take care of my baby for me, until we meet again. Love your sis,

Ariel a.k.a. Conito, that's how we used to call him at work. Ariel was such a great person and a kind soul, always had a smile on his face and always tried to make everyone else smile. We don't understand why God decided to take you so soon from us but I know that you'll be up in heaven looking after your family and friends. We'll always love you Conito. Your friend Manzanita Rosie

Hello, I have pix of Ariel I would like to share. Feel free to email me (adela0803@yahoo.com) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI remember him from high school. He was truly one of the nicest guys no matter who you were in high school. Always a smile on his face. I am sorry for the loss. Ariel as well as his family and friends will be in my prayers. Such a sad ending to a short life. May god hold him and his family close and give comfort that one day everyone will be together again. God bless.....
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of The Virula Family, our deepest condolences to Adrian and his family. Also, our hearts and prayers goes out to Ariel's girlfriend, daughter, and unborn child. Ariel was and still a good man.

Well, there is not much I can say cause I'm still in shock but, I can say I will always remember break time with you & our friends in the lunch room playing dominos & the times you where there for me when I cried. God was missing an angel & he picked you. May God be with you & give your family the strength they need to overcome this terrible loss. You will be remembered. RIP Ariel

Our deepest sympathy to the Travieso family....Ariel may God receive you with his arms wide open...although we are here on earth grieving and feeling pain somewhere deep in our soul we know that you now are in a better place with God, in his kingdom watching over us..
ReplyDeleteR.I.P my friend
Ariel was like a big brother to me, being so close to my own brother. I remember all of the times he came over and he was always so nice to me, even though I was the "bratty little sister" that my brother never got along with and didn't want around. Ariel was always so loving and had such a big heart. I lost touch with him and hadn't seen him since he graduated from high school and I will never forget when he saw me at Jason's house not but a month ago. He saw me, ran up to me and gave me the biggest hug ever. He said he barely recognized me as I had grown up and turned into this beautiful woman. I was just talking about him to my mom and said that God needed to make more men like Ariel. I know that Ariel's up there looking down at all of us now. Despite his short time here with us, he's left us all with so much. I love you. Rest in peace. ♥ Kimi

ReplyDeleteAriel, rest in peace my friend. I will never forget your smile and easy-going attitude. You will be missed.
ReplyDeleteAriel was like another son to me. My son, Jason had his best buddies at our house often, including Ariel, Aaron, Bogar, Ian, and others. I only recently saw Ariel two years ago at Alyssa's 5th birthday, which I have some great pics of the petting zoo and pony rides at her party! Ariel will be dearly missed by all, especially his family. My heart and deepest condolences to his family, especially Gen and Alyssa and his baby that will only know her Daddy from pictures and all the wonderful things that people can share with him or her! ♥ Tracy Wilson (Jason Schneider's Mom)
ReplyDeleteAriel, we will miss you dearly. I have great memories that I will hold on to forever. You with your big heart and smile, was very contagious. I never got those salsa lessons buddy, but I know someday, we'll see eachother again. You are a wonderful friend, son, brother, father, and husband. RIP ARIEL!! <3 My deepest condolences to his family, Gen, Alysa, and his unborn baby. <3 Bee

Psalm 23
ReplyDeleteThe LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
Psalm 23
Descansa querido amigo...
Ariel, you will be sorely missed, brother. From dominoes at lunch to deep talks during tough times to just joking around at work. My deepest condolences to Gen, Alysa, and family and friends. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God ease your pain. With love, Kumar
ReplyDeleteAriel, since high school I don't ever remember u not smiling... U always had a smile when some of us did not have one ..

ReplyDeleteAriel, it was an honor to have met you. I still remember the last day I saw you. You had this peace of an Angel within you. May you rest in peace. I am deeply sorry for your loss Travieso family, you are all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteTo the Travieso familia~ I never got to meet Ariel, but my husband Alex Ojeda (Cuba/cubichi) was great friends with Ariel, and your family... He no longer has a phone number for any of your family and would like to speak with someone about the wake and funeral, as well as give his condolences. He barely heard the news today (March 8th) and is shocked and devistated. If possible please send contact info asap to our family email: ojedafamily8188@yahoo.com, or email for our personal phone numbers. All love and comfort in Christ Jesus who gives and takes away and who strengthens us. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers! Love, the Ojedas.
ReplyDeleteTo the Travieso Family and Adrian, I am so sorry to hear about Ariel. Adrian and Ariel were both very dear friends to my brother Jose (Jochy) and I. Please, if you guys need anything at all contact me through email Cadi63@aol.com so that I may give you my number. Our prayers are with you all. Again, my deepest condolences to your family, especially Ariel's wife and daughters. Love, the Lopetegui's
ReplyDeleteOur deepest sympathy to the Travieso Family. Sending Blessings to all whom this tragedy has touched. That night will forever stay with us all. May God Bless you!
ReplyDeleteAriel one month ago u left us still can't believe everything that happened WE MISS U !
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Ariel!! We miss you dearly.. Sometimes we feel your presence and at times hear your voice and laugh.. We still question why?? But like you said to me before only HE knows why HE does those things.. Love You, your sis in law and the Travieso Family
ReplyDeleteTo have buried a son, weep for his loss and hold on tight as most of all would want to do, its the hardest thing that a Mother would have to go through..
ReplyDeleteBut it is a Blessing to have the Family and most of all the support of a group of Friends who came through the way all of you did with such effort and commitment on the Darkest day of my life. The word Friends became small because to me you are all so much more. I feel Honored and Proud to know each and everyone of you.
I thank each of you for your support that came from your heart.
What do I think about my son Ariel? He was one of the two greatest gifts in my life. Wonderful sense of humor, good son and great father. He was a Angel in human form that is no longer with us. I know we will see each other again soon my son.
God Bless all of you and many Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
Mom (Alicia Travieso)
I can't believe it will be a year tomorrow.. Your presence is still felt around us and at times I hear your voice..I know your watching over us, you are truly missed, but I know in time we'll all be together again.. love you always your sis(Erika and Family)
