ARLIE JOHNSON

FOREVER 31

Arlie Johnson was a man with a heart so full of love it overflowed into the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He wasn’t just a friend—he was family to so many. He had a way of making you feel seen, valued, and safe, with hugs that wrapped around your soul and stayed with you long after he let go.

Arlie loved with his whole heart. He gave himself fully to those he cared for, offering unwavering kindness and compassion. His presence was like a warm light on a cold day—a beacon of love and strength for his family and friends.

"He was the big brother I never had. My family will forever be changed since he’s gone. We miss you so much!" - his loved one

The hole left by his passing is vast, but the memories he created—the joy he brought, the love he gave—will remain forever etched in the hearts of those who loved him. His bear hugs, his laughter, his devotion to those he called family are treasures that will never fade.

Though Arlie’s time on this earth was too short, the impact he made will live on. He was a shining example of what it means to love selflessly and wholeheartedly. Arlie, you are missed every day, and you will be loved for eternity. Rest in peace, sweet soul.
