William "Bill" Arnold

William "Bill" Arnold, a beloved craftsman and friend to all, passed away on October 1, 2025, in Toledo, Ohio. Born on July 12, 1964, Bill led a life marked by an unwavering passion for fixing the broken and an natural ability to connect with others.

A local subcontractor known as a "Bill"-of-all-trades, Bill had a remarkable talent for repairs, proving that no problem was too big or too small for his skilled hands. His ability to mend not just physical items but also spirits made him a cherished presence in Toledo. Bill's infectious humor was one of his most endearing qualities; he was continually drawn to the center of gatherings, entertaining others with stories and jokes. His goofy antics and playful pranks brought light to every occasion, making him a treasured companion and friend.

An avid lover of the outdoors, Bill found joy in fishing and hunting. These hobbies not only provided him with a sense of peace but also offered an opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones. His proudest accomplishments revolved around his family, where he excelled as a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and cherished friend. To many, he was affectionately known as Uncle Bill, a title he wore with pride.

Bill leaves behind his daughter Ashley Arnold, his granddaughter Miley LaFountain, his brother Dennis Arnold, and his sister Joyce Begin and her husband Tim. He is also remembered by a host of extended family and dear friends who will carry forward his legacy of kindness and laughter.

He is preceded in death by his father Lester Arnold, his mother Beatrice Arnold, and his siblings Jim Arnold, Larry Arnold, and Shirley Arnold. Bill's absence leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him, but his spirit will continue to shine through the stories shared and the memories cherished.

As we reflect on the life of William "Bill" Arnold, we celebrate a man who touched countless lives with his generosity, humor, and boundless love. He will forever be missed and remembered.

There will be a gathering and a memorial service for Bill later this month, please come back for service information.
