We love our mother so much and would love to give her a funeral as special as she was,” the siblings wrote online. This experience has left us broken and empty. “The three of us were by her side the entire time until the end. The recent college graduate and his two sisters set up a GoFundMe to cover the cost of his mother’s funeral in the first 24 hours, the GoFundMe raised more than $8,000. On Mother’s Day, only days after the ceremony, Arevalo’s mother died. We owed it to him to get out here to make this happen for him and his family.” He’s really given it his all over the last four years. “It’s a great testament to Christian that when we did peer reviews, his peers universally acknowledged that we always know he’s going to be there and he always gets results.
“When I think of Christian, there’s one word that comes to mind, and that’s reliability,” said LTC Sherck in the Facebook post. (Photo courtesy: West Virginia University Army ROTC) The first thing he did as an officer was bend down and give his mother a kiss on the forehead. In an intimate ceremony in his mother’s room, Arevalo was commissioned in front of a small group of his closest family and friends, receiving his gold lieutenant bars and becoming 2nd LT Arevalo. Early the following day, Sherck drove nearly four hours from Morgantown to Lanham, Maryland to Doctors Community Hospital where Arevalo’s mother, Rosa Gonzalez, was in the ICU. On Thursday, 18 of Arevalo’s classmates were commissioned in the WVU Mountainlair without him, which didn’t sit right with LTC Sherck, said the post. “He never doubted the decision,” said the post, “and notified LTC David Sherck, professor of Military Science, of his intentions to pass on commissioning to be with his mother.” Senior Army ROTC Cadet Christian Arevalo, 23, was preparing for his graduation from West Virginia University and commissioning ceremony last week when he received a call to return to his home in Maryland as quickly as possible because his mother, who was battling advanced-stage cancer, didn’t have much time left.Īlthough he was scheduled to be commissioned as a second lieutenant the next day, Arevalo hopped in a car and went to the hospital, even though it would cause him to miss his commissioning, an important rite of passage in every Army officer’s career, according to a Facebook post by the WVU Army ROTC.
