Tomas Torres Arambula Jr

March 19, 1954 - December 28, 2025

Tomas Arambula was born on March 19, 1954, in Lubbock, Texas, to the late Tomas and Helena Arambula. He was the oldest of seven siblings and was raised with strong values of hard work, dedication, and family principles that guided him throughout his life.

Tomas graduated from San Jacinto High School and went on to build a long and honorable career as a welder. For more than 30 years, he worked at Talley Metal Fabrication alongside his dear friend Joe Talley, where he was treated like family and respected for his reliability, kindness, and strong work ethic.

Outside of work, Tomas was a talented mechanic who loved fixing and working on cars. He was happiest when keeping busy with his hands, always ready to help someone in need.

On March 31, 1974, Tomas married the love of his life, Blanca Nelly Lerma, at St. Anthony’s Church in San Jacinto. Their marriage was a true partnership built on love, faith, and devotion, and together they shared 51 beautiful years.

From this union came four children: Blanca Arambula, Eugenio Arambula, Monica Arambula, and Cynthia Arambula Sanchez

Above all else, Tomas was a devoted family man. He was a proud and loving grandfather to 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. One of his greatest joys was watching his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren play sports. Whether on the sidelines or in the stands, Tomas never missed an opportunity to cheer them on, support them, and celebrate their accomplishments.

Tomas will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his gentle spirit, strong work ethic, mechanical talents, and unwavering love for his family. His legacy of love, support, and dedication will live on through all who were blessed to know him.
