Enrique Alberto Colõn

Enrique A. Colón Jr., 70, of Searcy, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on August 29, 2024. Born on March 3, 1954, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Enrique lived a life marked by dedication, compassion, sacrifice, and a deep abiding commitment to the LORD and his family. Enrique, a respected elder in the Church of Christ, was a passionate member of his community and an inspiration to many. As a proud graduate of Baruch College, Enrique enjoyed a long professional career as an accountant and financial advisor known for his unwavering integrity. He was also a humanitarian, passionate teacher, patriot, and lifelong learner who enthusiastically embraced new skills, knowledge, and languages. Henry, as he was known by many, was a good friend. The one person you could always count on. He worked hard to make himself available if you were in trouble or needed a friend. He was well known for making jokes, wishing all a Merry Christmas (regardless of the time of year), and in the back of the room taking a thousand photos of those he cherished most. In all honesty, he found his greatest joy in the presence of his family, encouraging them to smile, laugh, sing, dance, and thrive. Enrique’s legacy lives on through his devoted wife, Rosa Colón; his loving children, Enrique (Amanda), Julio (Amber), Rosa (Alexander), and Gretchen (Salem); and his cherished grandchildren, Aiva, Elias, Violet, Ezra, Elijah, Minna, Scarlett, and Julio Jr. His family and friends will remember him as a man of great faith and a true friend whose warmth touched everyone he met. A private service was held on September 3, 2024, for his immediate family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Arkansas Children’s Hospital or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to honor Enrique’s legacy and genuine commitment to helping and serving others. In his final act, Enrique chose to donate his organs, a decision that embodied the profound love he had for others. Through this generous gift, he was able to save or improve the lives of nearly 50 individuals. Enrique’s spirit and kindness will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Revelation 4:3: “And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.” (NIV) To GOD be all the glory, and may HIS loving grace be with you. Amen https://bit.ly/4cRqH2f
