Danny Martin "Dan" Arnold

Danny "Dan" Martin Arnold, 74, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on Tuesday,
January 6, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.
Dan was born on June 16, 1951, in Anderson, South Carolina, to Jack and Lounette Arnold. He
built a remarkable life centered on faith, family, and friendship, always showing up for those who
needed him.
Guided by his faith and an enduring sense of optimism, Dan embraced life's adventures with his
beloved wife Sue by his side. Together they moved 34 times over 53 years of marriage, creating
homes and memories across the country while traveling far and wide to spend time with family and
friends. Known affectionately as "GranDan" to his grandchildren, he was the most loving and
supportive husband, father, and grandfather.
Dan had an extraordinary gift for connecting with people-a stranger was simply a friend he hadn't
met yet. Whether at the grocery store, a restaurant, or the golf course, Dan would strike up a
conversation and inevitably uncover some mutual connection that made the world feel a little
smaller.
A true DIY magician and project tackler, Dan was always the first to offer help to those in need. He
took immense pride in his yard work and home projects, giving each task his full attention until he
was satisfied with the results. An avid self-taught golfer, Dan loved the game as much as the
friendships formed on the course. A devoted sports fan, he never hesitated to root for the
underdog, no matter who was playing.
Dan is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Susan B. Arnold; his favorite son Sean Arnold and
his wife Janelle, and their children Zaylee and Ivy; his favorite daughter Dana Fennell and her
husband Brian, and their children Lorelei, Adeline, and Lochlan; his brother Jackie Arnold and his
wife Sharon; his sister Linda Massey and her husband Frank; his sister-in-law Sandi Galarneau
and her husband Bob; his brother-in-law Brian Beaulieu and his wife Janet; his brother-in-law Gary
Beaulieu and 12 cherished nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made in his memory to St Jude Children's Research Hospital
or Tunnel to Towers Foundation
