Alejandro Arellano, 21, from Coral Springs passed away in a motorcycle accident on October 25, 2016. Just starting his life, he was so proud of himself -- he found a wonderful girlfriend, just started a new job as a telecommunications marketer, and just moved out of his family's home into his own.

Originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, he relocated to Coral Springs where he attended Coral Springs High School and Mavericks High School of North Broward.

His friends and family will remember him as a very outgoing, positive, social young man with a diverse group of friends. Alejandro's family remembers when he visited his extended family in San Luis Potosi, Mexico and within hours he already found a large group of friends to hang out with during his visit. During that visit, he became proud of his heritage. His family will also remember him as being very loyal, caring, helpful, considerate, with a large welcoming smile. He easily drew friends from his love for vast interests such as skateboarding.

He is survived by his mother Laura Rodgriguez, father Martin Arellano, step-father Alfonso Durand; siblings Veronica & Martin Arellano, Jr., and Joshua Durand; nieces Emily and Daisy; nephews Anthony and Andre; God-parents Yadira Maldonado and Tomas Castro,; Grandparents Jose I. Rodriguez and M.A. Alena I. Rodriguez, girlfriend Lauren Moskowitz, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Visitation will be held Saturday, October 29, 2016 from 3pm - 8pm at Savino-Weissman Funeral Home. Another visitation and burial will be held at Montlawn Memorial Park in Raleigh, North Carolina.
