Arthur Arrowood Obituary
AJ was born on August 13, 1940, in Jonesborough, Tennessee. He lived a long and meaningful life defined by devotion to his family, quiet strength, and a warm sense of humor that those closest to him will never forget.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Joanne Arrowood; his mother, Chloe Arrowood; his brother, Ray Arrowood; and his brother-in-law, Robert Emory.
He is lovingly survived by his children, Anita Arrowood; Penny (Matthew) Potocki; George (Eleoannitt) Arrowood; and Lisa Tinsley. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren, Megan Atkins and Sadie Potocki; his sister, Gail Emory; nieces Layla Emory and Brittiany (Travis) Herman; nephews Michael Arrowood and Rodney Arrowood; and numerous extended family members who will remember him fondly.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during a visitation service on February 27, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Good Life Funeral Home in Orlando, Florida.

On that day, the family will receive friends and loved ones from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Holcombe Brothers Funeral Home, and the interment will follow in the James McCurry Cemetery, all in Burnsville, NC.
