Bryan Arnold

Bryan Michael Arnold, age 34, of Coon Rapids, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, May 2, 2017. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Hervey Arnold; maternal grandmother, Helen Fagin; aunt & godmother, Cheri Anderson; nephew, Nicholas Wentzell. Bryan is survived by his father, Michael Arnold; mother, Cathi Morse; sister, Kristen (Matt) Wentzell; niece & goddaughter, Julia Wentzell, nieces, Lilah and Isabela Wentzell; maternal grandfather, Charley (Melissa) Fagin; paternal grandmother, Patricia Arnold as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Bryan will be remembered by his sincere compassion for others which always took priority over his own challenges in life. He listened. He put himself in your shoes. He shared his experience. He gave advice. He extended a helping hand. He cared. He remembered. Bryan lived to make a difference in other people's lives. All while carrying a burden of his own; a 15 year battle with kidney disease and multiple complications that followed throughout the years. Through it all, an affectionate personality continued to shine through, leaving an imprint on those close to him. Bryan adored his nieces and spending time with them. He longed for a meaningful conversation with a family member, close friend or even someone he just met. He looked forward to attending the drag races every summer in Brainerd with friends and family. He enjoyed driving his Jeep, and as we all know, Bryan had a passion for penguins.

Bryan, you've been set free from the pain. We will miss you beyond belief but trust you are now running with Happy Feet.

Memorial service will be held at Miller Funeral Home, 6210 Hwy 65 NE, Fridley, MN on Tuesday, May 9, 2017 at 3 PM, with a visitation one hour prior. Memorials preferred.
