July 4, 1940 – April 4, 2021
Arthur J. Arnold left this life peacefully on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021. He was born on July 4, 1940 in Ballard, Utah.
Arthur grew up in Utah and graduated from Spanish Fork High School and got his BA from Weber State College in Manufacturing Engineering. His career in engineering took him to live in several different states and work for various companies. Arthur was vice president of manufacturing at Chief Industries before he left and started his own business. He was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many positions, including Branch President, High Counselor, and worked in the Columbus, Ohio, temple for over five years. Arthur was very ambitious and was always busy working or fixing things. Everyone will miss his jokes and his sense of humor.
Arthur was preceded in death by his parents, Manfred Martin Arnold and Verna Mae Blanchard; and his two older brothers, Loren and Roy.
He leaves behind his wife of 60 years, Verna Ilene Butler Arnold; seven children, Steven Martin, Linda (Kermit Botz), Lisa, Robert Joseph (Nicole Graham), Lana (Travis Wells), David Arthur (Alessandra Rodriques Ribeiro), and Brandon Todd (Stefanie Anderson); 27 grandchildren; and 17 great-grandchildren who affectionately called him their Grumpy.
No services are scheduled at this time. Arthur’s family has entrusted Randall & Roberts Funeral Homes with his care.
