Silver Velasquez Arteaga Obituary

En Amorosa Memoria de Silver Jiminzon Velasquez Arteaga

Con profunda tristeza anunciamos el fallecimiento de Silver Jiminzon Velasquez Arteaga, nacido el 1 de marzo de 1980 en Tegucigalpa, Honduras, y quien partió de este mundo el 9 de enero de 2026 en Aurora, Colorado.

Silver fue un esposo dedicado de Anna Marie Rivera, con quien compartió 10 años de matrimonio. Fue un padre amoroso de Silver Joel Velasquez De La O y Zurysarai Velasquez De La O, y un querido padrastro de Joana Rivera. Silver fue un gran padre, siempre preocupado por el bienestar de sus hijos, asegurándose de que nunca les faltara alimento ni cuidado. Será recordado por su bondad, humildad y gran corazón.

Silver tenía una personalidad tranquila, pero era muy sociable. Quienes lo conocieron siempre sabían cuándo estaba presente. Tenía una sonrisa hermosa y un espíritu cálido que dejaba huella en todos los que lo rodeaban.

Disfrutaba ver deportes como béisbol, baloncesto y fútbol americano. Era un fiel aficionado de los Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Lakers y los San Francisco 49ers. También disfrutaba mucho de la música, y su esposa solía escucharlo cantar desde lejos cuando llegaba a casa.

Silver fue el amado hijo de Silver Lisandro Velasquez y Hilda Reina Arteaga Sandres. Sus restos serán trasladados a su ciudad natal en Honduras, donde será sepultado.

In Loving Memory of Silver Jiminzon Velasquez Arteaga

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Silver Jiminzon Velasquez Arteaga, who was born on March 1, 1980, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and passed away on January 9, 2026, in Aurora, Colorado.

Silver was a devoted husband to Anna Marie Rivera, with whom he shared 10 years of marriage. He was a loving father to Silver Joel Velasquez De La O and Zurysarai Velasquez De La O, and a caring stepfather to Joana Rivera. Silver was a great father who was always worried about his children, making sure they were cared for and never went without food. He will be remembered for his kindness, humility, and loving heart.

Silver was very social yet quiet in nature. Those who knew him always knew when he was present. He had a beautiful smile and a warm spirit that left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

He enjoyed watching sports, especially baseball, basketball, and football. He was a loyal fan of the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Francisco 49ers. Music was also one of his joys, and his wife often heard him singing from a distance as he arrived home.

Silver was the beloved son of Silver Lisandro Velasquez and Hilda Reina Arteaga Sandres. He will be returning to his hometown in Honduras, where he will be laid to rest.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
