He came to the United States from Cuba playing professional baseball playing with the Big Spring Broncs and the Roswell Rockets, until he was drafted into the United States Army during the Korean War. At the time of the draf, he was not yet a United States Citizen. While serving, he was a sharp shooter and his duty was driving the generals around during his tour.

After his discharge from the Army, he returned and played softball from 1974 until 1982 for the Morton Chippers with Cotton Mize. Tito worked for Cosden Oil and Chemical for 35 years, retiring in 1989. He was also a realtor for Coldwell Banker Ellen Philips Realtors for many years. He was a Red Coat with the Chamber of Commerce. He was on the board at the YMCA, Salvation Army and the Red Cross. He was the Membership Leader for the membership drive in at the YMCA. Tito and his son Bill, were Double Leg Handball Partners. He also enjoyed dancing and going on cruises.

Tito is survived by his fiancé Sharri Pruett; his children: Elizabeth Arencibia of Midland, Vienna Pope and husband Byron of Andrews and William (Bill) Arencibia of Midland and Wanda Brewer of Big Spring, whom he thought of as a daughter; four grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren and a host of friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Wanda, five brothers and two sisters.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to St. Jude or MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

The Burgess family, previously of Big Spring, Tx, send their deepest condolences. We lived on Lynn St. a few doors down from Tito for many years and he helped build some of my fondest childhood memories. He was always tolerant of 3 little girls dropping by for unannounced visits. Sometimes he and Wanda would tolerate me practicing on their piano. Tito loved that we played softball and would show us some baseball tricks here and there. He also was successful at dragging my dad, sometimes the whole family, to dance lessons at Howard College. He would occasionally try to spruce up my dad's wardrobe with some nice dress shirts and dancing shoes. Tito was not happy when he learned we hadn't tried plantains so he tried his best to replicate the experience with some bananas in his kitchen. He also introduced us to Nutella, which was epic. I know that countless individuals have similar heart warming memories of Tito and that's the joy he was able to provide the world. We are forever grateful to have known Tito.

Bill, I have a lot of fond memories of seeing your Dad, Mr Arencibia, at the YMCA and at our sporting events while we were growing up. He was always kind and upbeat. My condolences to you and your family.

Tito was such a kind and loving man. He and my dad played baseball together when Tito moved to Big Spring. One of those men I remember with great fondness during my time growing up in Big Spring. My sincere condolences to the Arencibia family. May he rest in peace.

Tito was a true friend to everyone. He was one of the most diligent workers in his efforts to help boys and girls in the YMCA. My sympathy is with the family. May God comfort each of you.

I’m so sorry to hear about Tito. He was a nice man. I remember seeing him at the Y in Big Spring. Condolences to the family. Bill, we both graduated in 1977. I hope you are well.

So many good memories growing up down the street from all of you. There was never a time where I wasn’t welcome in your house. So many times your dad taught me a little bit about handball and a little bit about life. While I may not live in Big Spring…I still think about my “se one” family 3 houses up. May God’s everlasting light shine upon your dad.

Tito was such a wonderful & good soul ❤️ He had the friendliest smile & gave heartfelt hugs to all! Titilo was a brother to my dad, Jimmy Marin for 68 yrs! What a legacy he has left to us all & he was such a blessing to all who knew him 🫂 🤗 Sincere condolences to all the family 🙏 We love you, Tito!

Tito was a dear friend of mine. He and I both worked at the same time at Cosden/Fina. And I played many many baseball games with him. He was a hell of a ball player and terrific all around person. Rest in peace my friend.

I loved this man very much. He was my mom's sweetheart for the past 15+ years. He was the true definition of a gentleman and had the kindest heart of any man I have known. My children loved him and so did anyone who met him. Tito, you left a beautiful legacy of love and honor for all of us. We will miss you so. Prayers of love, peace and comfort to the family. Praying that you will feel the loving arms of God wrapped around you at this time and always. Love, Wendy

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Tito Arencibia. He was a fine gentleman and a real asset to Big Spring. Sincerely, Tommy and Jobeth Corwin
