In Loving Memory ~
1952 ~ 2025
John Henry Phillip Arnold passed away on April 18th, 2025, at the age of 73 years.
He is survived by his son David, Grandson, Silas, and his brothers Greg and Chris Arnold. He is predeceased by his mother, Maude, father, Phillip, and brothers Peter, David, and Tim.
Born in Smith Falls, Ontario, he grew to become a kind and helpful man, with a smile every time he saw you. Even though he struggled in life with mental health problems, he was a genuinely open-minded and considerate person.
He worked at both Dave Landon Motors in Port Hardy and Upper Island Motors in Courtenay, but he truly enjoyed playing the guitar in his spare time. A fond love for animals of all kinds, his pets were always the highlight of his world.
Rest in Peace with Boots, Squall, and Suzie at your side. Even through our ups and downs, you were the kind of father I could talk to about anything, and I wish you nothing but everlasting love and peace.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In Lieu of flowers, please donate to your local animal shelter or SPCA. Condolences may be sent to www.saamis.com or by email at condolences@saamis.com, with the subject heading John Arnold. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to
