Arnold graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at Feati University in the Philippines. He was dedicated to a life of helping others and keeping them safe, growing his experience in Facilities Operations for years first at the Holy Spirit Convent, and on to hospitals, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes.
He leaves behind a legacy of a devoted family man, reliable friend, fearless leader, and courageous fighter. A true Superman, he never let his sickness and pain define him and ensured that his days were always accomplished with adventure and humor. He was relaxed in nature, excited to cook a new creation of food, and always yearned to be exploring and getting lost on the road. When he wasn’t traveling, he was working on multiple home projects, whether it was for his or others. His ministry was giving his experience to the community, visiting homes and fixing anything electrical or checking their air conditioning.
He was an embodiment of the quote “Live like no one else, so you can live like no one else”.
He was predeceased by his father Edmundo Mendoza.
He is survived by his loving wife Elisa Mendoza and blessed with children Alyssa and Kristan Mendoza. His mother Violeta Mendoza. His siblings Jessie Mendoza, Sari Garchitorena, Josielyn Gamboa, Jeremy Mendoza, and Joanalyn Lim.
