Arnold Mark Holdren was born on October 22, 1955, to the union of Dennis E. and Norma Jean (Main) Holdren in St Louis, Missouri. He passed away on Thursday, May 19, 2022, in Santa Fe Springs, California, at the age of 66.


Arnold and Patti were married on May 11, 2019, at Arnold's childhood church in Owensville, Missouri.

Arnold's childhood memories were centered around his family's farm in Rosebud where he grew up. He attended high school in Owensville, where he graduated in 1974. After graduation, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he achieved the rank of Corporal. Arnold was proud of the time he served as a Military Police Officer and was bravely stationed in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.


For over thirty years, Arnold spent most of his days driving across the open roads of the United States. He was a proud owner, and operator, truck driver, driving for both himself and contracting with companies. Arnold worked tirelessly to ensure goods were promptly delivered across America. When he was home off the road you would find him in the kitchen. He absolutely loved making his family and friends happy with the meals he would prepare, always made with laughter and love. During his off time he also enjoyed searching the internet and watching YouTube videos.


Arnold was preceded in death by his parents, Dennis and Norma Jean Holdren.
Arnold is loved fiercely by many family and friends who are left to cherish his memory including his wife, Patti Holdren of their home, his daughter Marissa Holdren; step-children Matthew Worsham, Joshua Worsham, Christian Boster and wife Kristy, Kelby Boster and fiancé Tasha; siblings Kimberley S.
