Life story

" We mourn the passing of Jeremy Arce, a fearless spirit who embraced life’s adventures despite a long battle with lupus. He departed surrounded by his beloved Puerto Rican family, leaving behind a legacy of resilience, creativity, and love.

Jeremy’s world revolved around motorcycles—building them with meticulous care and riding them with unshakable passion. Off the road, he thrived in gaming marathons, admired the quiet power of snakes, and sought solace on hiking trails, where nature fueled his soul.

Though lupus challenged his body, it never dimmed his spirit. He faced each day with grit, inspiring others with his humor and determination to live fully. His greatest joy was his family: parents Maria and Juan, siblings Juan Jr and Gabriel, and Alex, partner Sofia, children Luna and Mateo, and a vibrant extended clan. Their home echoed with salsa, stories, and the aroma of *arroz con gandules*, a tribute to his cherished heritage.

A celebration of life will honor Jeremy’s love for bikes, gaming, and the wild. In lieu of flowers, donations to lupus research or wildlife sanctuaries are encouraged.

*“Buen viaje, Jeremy—your ride was bold, your heart boundless, and your legacy eternal.”* "
