His transition to glory was December 5, 2017.

Arnold served his Lord as a minister of the Gospel for more than 70 years. He was Associate

later years.

He was preceded in death by his parents: the mother of his children, Selma Jennings; his

second wife, Gerry Jennings; daughter, Linda; granddaughter, Dawn DeCola; and his three

brothers, Bruce, Trent and Oren Jennings.

Arnold is survived by the children, Daniel and wife Brenda; Sharon; Cherry; Susan Phelps and

husband Steve; David and wife Terri; and Tim and wife Brynna. He is also survived by Gerry's

daughter Kathie Johnson and husband Mark, Debbie Holmes and Teri Brownson. He is

survived by numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren, and one niece and great niece.

Visitation and Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, December 9 at Monument Baptist

Church of Deer Park, Texas. Visitation will begin at 9:00 am followed by the service at 11:00 am

He lived his life with a servant's heart to obey our Lord. He sacrificed to help others. One of his ministries was passing out pens. If you were within speaking distance, you received a pen! He was a treasure to cherish and I am very blessed to have called him Daddy
