Arnold Harbarger Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Best Funeral Services Peoria on Jan. 10, 2026.
Thank you for celebrating the life of Arnold Martin Harbarger. A great son, father, pap pap, uncle and friend. He loved to spend time with his family at gatherings and just to stop in and say hi. He enjoyed gardening, working on vehicles, cooking, baking, watching TV and anything that had to do with history or westerns. We enjoyed sitting in front of the television watching shows that start out with barn finds and fix them up like new. He received a welding certificate and continued to weld and do masonry throughout his career. Everyone knows him as being generous kind-hearted and loving and do anything for you. In the past he had nephews live with him to go to nursing school and to start a new job. He will greatly be missed. Arnold is survived by his three children, Roxanne Menchaca, Lisa McElroy and Christopher Harbarger, his grandsons Richard Menchaca and Aaron McElroy, grandaughters Aubrey Harbarger and Savannah Harbarger, his sisters Josephine Harbarger, Karen Doty and Bernadine Harbarger, his brother Issac Harbarger, his close friends Rick Menchaca, Maxine Menchaca, Kayla Rankin, and Rosie Quesada. He was preceeded in death by his parents Issac Harbarger and Mary Harbarger, his brothers Riley Harbarger, Donald Harbarger and Martin Harbarger, and his sisters, Linda Weasonforth, Sarah Micozzi, Regina Hornsby, and Mildred Swaney.
