Orlando Arlia Jr.

A loving and proud father, he leaves behind his children Jacob Stolarski (Erica), Marissa Arlia (Joe), Ava Arlia, and Vanessa Arlia. He was the cherished son of Orlando Arlia Sr. (Jean) and the late Betty Arlia (née Phearsdorf) and Gayla Arlia (née Hewitt). Orlando was a devoted brother to Brenda Pennington (the late Jimmy), Shawn Arlia, Amelia Miles (Kenny), and Christina Senvisky (Ken), and a beloved uncle, cousin, and friend to many. He also leaves behind his faithful companion, Beethoven.

Orlando was an avid motorcyclist, finding true freedom on two wheels as he rode through life with an infectious enthusiasm. The open road was his sanctuary, where he embraced the thrill of the ride and the beauty of the world around him. A lifelong music lover, he was happiest in the crowd of a live concert, surrounded by the energy of his favorite bands. He treasured time spent outdoors and shared his love of hunting with close family and friends. These experiences were not just about the hunt; they were about the bonds formed and the laughter shared, moments that he held dear. He loved spending time with his Dalmatian Beethoven, who was a true friend and protector while providing unwavering companionship. Orlando dedicated many years of his life to the American National Can Company, where he worked alongside his father, Orlando Sr. It was here that he earned the nickname “Army Jr.” —a title he carried with pride amongst coworkers turned friends

Orlando will be remembered for his big heart, infectious laugh, and always being unapologetically authentic. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
