Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 27, 2025.
Arnell King Sr. was born on July 21, 1971, in Gary, Indiana, to Darcia Mitchell and Frederick Jennings. From an early age, Arnell confessed his faith in Christ, a devotion that guided his life and shaped the love, values, and kindness he shared with everyone around him. He graduated from Roosevelt High School and went on to earn his associate degree in diesel mechanics from Lincoln Tech. Arnell also obtained his CDL license, building a career he was proud of and approached with dedication, skill, and pride.

Arnell loved riding his Harley and was a devoted member of the 317 Ryderz for over 23 years. He found joy in laughter, dancing, eating out, and spending quality time with his children. Known for his humor, warmth, and generosity, he also enjoyed working on home projects and had a special talent for fixing things.

He was a loving father to Arnell King Jr., Shaviya, Ashley, Tre, Shabrea, Erika, Ranell, Kiya, Kyndal Aliyah, Brooke, and Shanell, and a proud grandfather to 22 grandchildren. Arnell is survived by his siblings Kenneth (Shawanda) Bennett, Rance, Orlando, and Jackie, along with a large circle of family and friends who cherished him deeply.
