Ryan Lucas Arnold of Clever, MO, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, December 8th, 2024. He was born in Springfield, MO, on October 24, 1992, to Ronald and Dana (Villines) Arnold.
He graduated from Halfway High School. Ryan enlisted in the US Marines and honorably served his country for five years, including active combat during Iraqi Freedom. On September 27, 2020, Ryan married Heather. Ryan was a kind hearted, brilliant, quick witted gentleman who loved to write poetry, shoot his guns, and read. He also loved to be outdoors and to make people laugh. Ryan enjoyed exploring and learning about different things, especially outer space. He loved his family, fur babies, and the friends he made along the way, some from childhood who still remain friends to this day.
Ryan is preceded in death by two grandmothers Connie and Doris, and a grandfather Lester.
He is survived by his loving wife of four years, Heather, his mom Dana, step father John, father Ron, brother Tony, grandfather Otis, fur babies Jasper and Freya, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and other extended family and friends.
