Frank Arnold Obituary

Frank Daniel Arnold, age 62, of Stittville and formerly of Taberg, passed away on December 3, 2025, at the Wynn Hospital.

Frank was born at Griffiss AFB in Rome, on September 9, 1963, to the late Earl and Willie Dee Arnold. Frank lived with his father and stepmother, Colleen Arnold, from the age of 17 until 2022. After the onset of dementia, he moved into the Sheehan IRA in Boonville and then the Ulman IRA in Stittville, where he currently was residing.

Frank loved the Dallas Cowboys and was a true and loyal fan. On top of football, he also enjoyed basketball. He collected movie DVDs and music CDs as well. Frank had an outgoing personality and could make friends with everyone he came into contact with.

Frank is survived by his stepmother, Colleen Arnold; his sisters, Paula (Kirk) Eason and Sena (Larry) Riffle; his brothers, Earl P. Arnold II, Timothy (Donna) Arnold, and Ryan (Tracey) Arnold; and numerous nieces and nephews. He shared a special bond with his nieces, Reagan, Mackenna, and Crystal, and his nephews, Joey and Little Kirk.

Frank's funeral services will be held on Monday, December 8, at 11 AM, at the Barry Funeral Home, 807 W. Chestnut Street. Burial will be in Maple Hill Cemetery on May 12, 2026, at 11 AM.

I have very fond memories of Frankie. I transported him to day treatment centers when he lived on the Taberg -Lee Center Rd, I would let him off with "sweet dreams see you in the morning". Sorry for your loss!
