Christopher Arnold

Christopher Arnold, affectionately known to many as "Red Beard," left this world too soon on August 7, 2025, in Middlefield, Ohio. Born on May 10, 1979, in sunny Florida, Chris was a vibrant soul whose infectious laugh and radiant smile had a unique ability to light up any room.

For many years, Chris dedicated himself to a fulfilling career as a truck driver, working with various local companies, including Ronyak Paving, Arms Trucking, and most recently, Norwood Trucking. His colleagues and friends alike admired him not only for his work ethic but for his larger-than-life personality. Chris was more than just a truck driver; he was a fierce friend with a heart of gold, showing unwavering care and support for his loved ones.

Chris took immense pride in being a family man. He is survived by his loving wife, Kerri (nee: Hutchison), and his cherished children: Faith, Leah &  Krystal Arnold, as well as his step-children, David Holmes, Logan (Samantha) Hutchison, Shannon (Anthony Vargas) Holmes, Thomas Holmes, and Daniel Holmes. He had a special bond with each of them, and they will forever carry his spirit with them in their hearts.

He also leaves behind his beloved siblings: Brittany Kundrat of Middlefield, Gary Arnold Jr. of Middlefield, and Sandra (Brian) Kumber of Burton. Together, they shared countless memories and supported one another through life's challenges.

Though he is preceded in death by his father, Gary Arnold, Sr., and his sister, Erica Lynn, Chris's legacy of love and laughter will continue through his family. He will be deeply missed, but his larger-than-life presence and the joy he brought to everyone around him will never be forgotten. Rest easy, dear Red Beard. Your smile lives on in the hearts of all who knew you.
