Daniel Wayne Arnold

Daniel Wayne Arnold passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on March 13, 2026, at Brewster Village Rehab. Born on May 15, 1968, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, to Roger and Patti Jo Arnold, he grew up in Appleton and graduated from Appleton West High School in 1987.

Dan was a man of great strength and integrity, guided by a deep faith in God. He approached every role with dedication, working at Valley Bank, Drug Emporium, Jansport, and most recently at Partnership Community Health Center. Independent and resilient, he lived with positivity, determination, and dignity, forming lifelong friendships and bringing love, acceptance, humor, and kindness to all who knew him.

He cherished the outdoors, enjoying fishing, hunting, and camping, and took great pride in maintaining his lawn while readily helping his neighbors. Though life presented him with significant challenges, Dan rarely complained, facing each one with remarkable courage and perseverance. He accomplished far more than he set out to do and was deeply proud of his family, offering them unwavering support.

He is survived by his mother, Patti Jo Arnold; his brother, Steve (Pam) Arnold; nieces Mariah (Kyle) Peotter and Morgan (Brent) Radlinger; nephew Cody (special friend Ellie Estermann) Gaber; great-nieces and nephew Brooklyn, Taya, and Riggs Peotter and Reese, Averie, and Lucy Radlinger; aunts and uncles Sue Arnold LaMarche, Larry Bell, Trudy Thibodeau, and Joe (Stacey) Thibodeau; and many loving cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Roger Arnold, and many beloved grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
