Mike Arney Obituary

Mike Arney Sr. NORFOLK - Mike Arney Sr., born May 4, 1951, left peacefully to be with the Lord, surrounded by friends and family on the morning of Aug. 22, 2009, at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. Mike was one of eight children born to the late Fern Strickland. He was the adoring and beloved husband of Joyce Arney for more than 37 years. Mike will forever be remembered by his cherished children: daughter, Michelle Hance and her husband Charles of Kingsport, Tenn.; son, Micheal Arney Jr. and wife Alice, and son, Joseph Arney and wife Mandi, both of Norfolk. His family also includes his siblings: brother, Johnny Coggins of Norfolk, sister, Freda Upton and husband of Portsmouth, brother, Tommy Arney and wife of Chesapeake, brother, Billy Arney of Norfolk, sister, Debbie Arney of Norfolk, sister, Lisa Stepanik and husband of Suffolk, and brother, Buddy Strickland and wife of Norfolk. Also left behind are his most treasured possessions, his four grandchildren, Kelsey, Christopher, Emily, and Maddie. He also leaves his extended family in Lenoir, N.C., along with countless other friends and family who were blessed to know him and will miss him deeply. Mike loved his family first and foremost, fishing, vintage cars, traveling, and country music. Mike touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity, and maintained his trademark sense of humor all the way to the end. Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial/viewing Tuesday, Aug. 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Tidewater Drive Chapel, located at 8464 Tidewater Drive, Norfolk, VA 23518. Family and friends are welcome at the family residence following the service.

Hey Honey.... Since it is the 4th year of your passing I wanted to get on here and talk to you for a minute since it will be staying on until October 2nd. You are the love of my life, I don't know how I have made it thru these last 4 years without you., but as you know the kids are around and I have my work. I use to always want to be home when you got home from work and especially rush home when you were sick., but now that part of my life has traveled to heaven., DAVCON is my haven. I work crazy hours. Sometimes I work 10-12 hrs. I also have Micheal, Alice, Maddie to come home to., and of course not far from home is Joseph, Mandi and Jojo that you never got to meet. Then of course we have Kelsey. Can you believe she is 21 years old now and doing well., getting ready to go into her Senior Year in College and this year will be Maddie's 1st year in Middle School. Time sure has flown and you would be so proud of your grandkids as well as Micheal and Joseph. Micheal is as you know is at G&H with Denis and Joseph is working at Norfolk Southern (he and Mandi both work there)... different jobs of coure.I have been thinking and crying about you all day and wearing my tee shirt I had made for this day. I miss you and everything we use to do together more than anyone will ever know. I know you are looking down on us and watching over everyone that loves and misses you so much. You will forever be in my heart and soul, as you were such a part of my life since I was 13 years old. Loving your forever and always... Your loving wife.

I also would like to say as Mike's wife and on behalf of Micheal and Joseph, that since it has been 4 years., it is time to really let this guest book go and let my Mike rest in peace and watch over his loved ones. Months go by before anyone posts on it. The time has come to just keep a journal and write what you feel., but please do not renew this Guest Book again, even Mike would say 4 years is long enough. Not to say anything bad about posting/talking to Mike but that also can be done in prayer and a journal. No offense meant, but it would mean a lot to me if this was not renewed, it certainly does not mean anyone is going to forget him., how in God's name could that ever happen, as he was one of best/honest hardworking men I know. Again... God Bless You Honey, keep those wings soaring.

Hey Honey,

This is the 1st time I have probably posted in close to a year or more. I feel like I can be closer to you when I am in our bedroom talking to you, as I know you hear me. Today at 1:00 a.m. marked the 3 year anniversary since you took the stairs to heaven. I miss you more and more as time goes on. I love you so much and wish more than anything you were here in person instead of spirit. I know you have looked down to see us all and see what is going on. You would be so proud of all your grandkids. Don't really know much about what is going on with Chris and Emily, but she posts pictures all the time and she is beautiful just like her Mom. Jojo will be 2 on Sept. 2nd. We are going to have his birthday party here at the house and hope the water in the pool stays warm. Maddie is getting ready to go into the 5th grade and Kelsey is heading to her 3rd year at ODU. After 14 months of struggling Joseph finally found a job. He has secret security pass because he is working on documents for Navy vessels. Mandi is doing good as well as Micheal and Alice. As I am sure you know work has become my haven since you went to heaven., I spend 10+ hours there a day. All is okay, or as well as it can be without the matriarch of the family. We all love you so much. You are missed more than anything in the world. You are forever in my heart and soul because when you went to heaven I truly lost my soulmate. Loving you forever and always, and until we meet again.... Your Loving wife Joy.

Hey Honey

I said I was not going to write in the guest book again., but you have been so strong on my mind lately. I was going to write yesterday but I was too sad. Yesterday, as you know was our 39th Wedding Anniversary. I had to work and cried most of the morning but made it through. I cannot believe it is almost been 2 years since you went to heaven. I miss and mourn you today as much as I did on 8/22/09. You are in my heart forever... I love you so much... The kids are doing good and your grandson that you never got to meet just turned 9 months old. Maddie passed into the 4th grade with "B" honor roll and Kelsey finished her 1st year at ODU with grades so good she is on the deans list. You would be so proud of them all. Everyone sends their love... In my heart and mind forever, your loving wife.... Jo

I remember you so very well. I even had a crush on you before you and Joy got together.I miss Joy as well. We were so close. I about flipped when I saw your Obit.After reading your obit..it seemed you had a wonderful life with Joy. Your family grew from the last time I saw you at the ball field at Larchmont Elementary School. You were there with Joy and little Michael. I believe he was 2 at the time. I pray that your sitting there beside the Lord watching over your family and friends.I wish I could get ahold of Freda as well. Rest in Peace My Friend/

Mike, I remember when you lived around the corner from me growing up. You were always a nice guy to me. When Peewee got ill, and my son and I, Terry went to see him from South Carolina. It seemed you were with him every day. To me you had never changed. Still that nice guy I met when we were kids. I'm sure your family will miss you terribly. You were a good man. With fondest memories, Sandra Winn Neville, from Charleston South Carolina...

When the magnolia tree is in full bloom
And the fragrance of the flower fills the air
Stroll through the corridors of your mind
Reach out and I'll meet you there
Memories are a photo album to the soul
Come journey through time with me
Breathe in the joy of living
Recall when we were young and free
The milk of human kindness will ever flow
To nourish and never conceal
This bond so strong between us
Money can't buy, death can't steal
