Rhondi Louis Arnold, affectionately known as "Beetle," passed away on July 14, 2025, in Moberly, Missouri, just one week shy of his 60th birthday.
Rhondi was born on July 21, 1965, to Marvella Robinett and Louis Morgan. He was a proud and loving father, a devoted son and brother, and a loyal friend to many.
He is survived by his mother, Marvella Robinett (Leslie) of Columbia, Missouri; his children: daughters Whitney and Alexis (Cathy), both of Raytown, Missouri, and Zada (Maureen) of Beaumont, California; and his son, Rhondell (Tiffany) of Columbia, Missouri. Rhondi also leaves behind his brother Louis Nunley (Lynne) of Jefferson City, Missouri; sisters Evelyn Cheles of Kansas City, Missouri, and LaTonya of Jefferson City, Missouri; and aunts Dorothy Williams of Moberly, Missouri, Carrie Winn of Brunswick, Missouri, Sheila Shaffer and Lynda Arnold, both of Columbia, Missouri.
His presence will also be missed by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends whose lives were enriched by his laughter, strength, and unwavering loyalty.
Rhondi was preceded in death by his father, Louis Morgan; his brothers, Russell Gray and Vernon Thurman; maternal grandparents, Louise and Manuel Arnold of Salisbury, Missouri; and paternal grandparents, Bernice and Ollie Morgan of Kansas City, Missouri.
"Beetle" will be remembered for his big heart, his ability to bring people together, and the pride he took in his family. Though he has departed this life, his legacy lives on in the many who loved him and the countless lives he touched.
