Enrique Arenas Amigó, a devoted husband, father, grandfather—and a man who showed his love through small acts of kindness and large acts of sacrifice—died peacefully and in the embrace of family on May 12, 2020. He was 91 years old.
Born on October 30, 1928 in Sagua La Grande, Cuba to Valentín Arenas Armiñan and Ana María Amigó Zalba, was one of the seven Arenas children—including Valentín, Adolfo, Lourdes, Ana María, Alfredo and Gustavo.
He married Sila Sanchez Lamerán on November 20, 1955, and had three children, Ana Teresa, Enrique, and Mercedes.
Enrique is survived by his wife of 64 years, three children, four grandchildren (Ana Cristina, Luis Enrique, Juan Carlos, and Cassandra Rebekah), his siblings (Adolfo, Ana María, and Gustavo), and many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Enrique graduated from La Universidad de la Habana as a civil engineer, a dream he had since childhood. Enrique loved sports and practiced a variety of them, baseball being his life passion. Most of all, he enjoyed spending quality time with his relatives and friends and talk about his "Cubita."
A service will be held on May 18, 2020, at 11:30 AM, which will be streamed through Facebook live.
