As a father, David was a guiding light for his son, Brian S. Arnet (Jennifer), and a source of unwavering support. He proudly watched Brian grow and thrive, forever offering wisdom and encouragement in every endeavor. The joy in David's heart blossomed further with the arrival of his grandsons, Jesse V. Arnet and Shane L. Arnet. As a grandfather, he found immense happiness, sharing laughter, stories, and life lessons that will remain cherished memories for all time.

David's nurturing spirit extended to his siblings, with whom he shared a close bond. He is survived by his brothers, John, Steven, and Robert Arnet, and his sister, Donna Gumm.
