We Remember

SERRANO, Arel Harren Awingan

November 17, 2019 — October 13, 2026

At the age of six, our little lion, Arel Harren Awingan Serrano, became a little angel on October 13, 2026, in Kelowna, BC.

At just six weeks old, Arel faced the biggest battle of his life when he suffered multiple cardiac arrests. Even then, he showed us what it truly means to be a fighter. Like a little lion, he fought with all his might and survived, proving how strong his little heart was. From the very beginning, he was our brave little lion.

Arel was the sweetest, happiest boy, known for his contagious smile, his happy dance, and his love for CocoMelon. He touched the hearts of everyone who knew him: his family, friends, teachers and caregivers.

He is lovingly remembered by his parents, Aries and Jazelle; his little brother, Elio; and his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, godparents and many friends in Canada and around the world.

A Memorial Service, with Reverend David Thiessen officiating, will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM (PCT) at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. A reception will follow in the Springfield Family Centre. If you cannot attend in person, please join the family by livestream at the time of the service. A recording will be available within 3–5 days.
