Arthur passed away August 16, 2024, in Tyler. He was born December 8, 1996, in Dallas, and was raised in Grand Saline where he graduated from Grand Saline High School. He lived in Grand Saline for the rest of his life where he attended worship services at numerous churches in the community. He especially enjoyed his time with family and friends, fishing, hunting, attending concerts, dirt track races, and sporting events. Arthur always somehow managed to get backstage at concerts and meet the bands. He shared numerous stories and pictures with the band members at the concerts and in their homes. Arthur never met a stranger. We took him dancing one night and he left with 4 dates and 13 phone numbers. He was a talker. LOL. He had worked at Walmart and installed trailer flooring at Big Tex Trailers. Arthur was preceded in death by his grandparents.

The family will receive friends 10 a.m., Saturday, at the funeral home.
