Mercedes Colwin Family
She was born and raised in a Jewish-Latin heritage family. Her father passed on when she was still young, her mother died too. She was raised alongside her six siblings. Unfortunately, she lost her sister, Pura, and her younger brother, Arthur. On October 25, 2020, during Arthur’s 10th anniversary, she posted a very sad piece about his brother on her Instagram.
‘Ten years ago today my baby brother Arthur went home to join our parents. It was the saddest day of my life and to this day I cry as if it happened yesterday. Although he is gone much too soon, he left a beautiful legacy – five wonderful children and unforgettable memories.’
‘Arthur’s life was nothing short of extraordinary. He joined the NYCPD after graduating from college. As if patrolling the streets of NYC were not tough enough, he became an undercover narc to help in the fight against drugs. He entered crack dens, infiltrated gangs, and did buys and busts of drug dealers. All of this because he truly believed in his calling to help others and if that meant he sacrificed his life while doing so, then he felt he had fulfilled his G-d given mission. His inner strength made him the bravest man I have ever known. Even his most heroic acts as a police officer paled in comparison to the mighty efforts he made to stay alive for his family while his doctors raced against time to find a heart for him.’
‘Time ran out and G-d gave him angel wings and took him home. There’s no doubt that Arthur is the biggest baddest bravest angel up there in heaven. Arthur, I love you with all my heart. My heart has never healed since you left but I’m comforted in knowing you are basking in G-d’s everlasting glory with Mami, Papi, and Pura.’
