He enjoyed doing these things with family and friends. Friends said he was always there for anyone who needed a hand or asked his advice.
He is survived by brothers, Jose M. Arcos and Raymond Nevers; sisters Antoinette and Olivia Arcos; nephews, J.J., Martin, Daniel; nieces Liliana and Leona; grandmother Justine Koos of Gardnerville; uncle John Koos; aunt Charlene Nevers Higuera.
