John J. Arnold, 75, of Louisville, Kentucky, gained his wings and returned to his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, March 11, 2020. John was a wonderful Husband, Dad, and Grandfather. He loved his family more than life itself. He also never met a single stranger. He had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back. Despite the challenges he faced with his health, he made the best out of everyday. He always found a way to make others laugh, even when he, himself, didn't feel like laughing. John loved to fish and be at the lake, every time he got the chance. He enjoyed the simple things in life. He was a spiritual man and loved the Lord with all of his heart. He is at peace now, dancing in Heaven with his new set of legs. John proudly served in the United States Army.
