Benjamin Arnold, Jr., age 78, of Winfield, was called home peacefully. A man of deep faith and service, Benjamin worked as a Senior Tax Advisor with H&R Block and faithfully served as an Elder at Faithbridge Church of Winfield.
He was the beloved husband of 29 years to Valerie, and a proud and loving father to Taretta (Rob) Shine and Arianne Arnold. Benjamin was the cherished son of the late Margaret and Benjamin Arnold, Sr., and a proud grandfather to Benjamin and Saraya. He was a devoted brother, a caring uncle, and a loyal friend to many.
Benjamin was known for his warmth, quiet strength, and the kindness he shared with everyone he met. His steady faith, gentle humor, and love for his family left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
His life will be celebrated at a later date, as family and friends gather to honor the beautiful legacy he leaves behind.
