Donald Kevin Arnold was born on March 07, 1962 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa the son of Dee “Toby” and Yvonne Arnold. He loved life and enjoyed his special relationships with animals. Even though he had many challenges in his life, he never lost his smile, sense of humor and never knew a stranger. Donald had a passion for cars and was an “encyclopedia” when it came to talking about car facts. He was brave enough to ride on a racetrack at full speed multiple times. Donald liked to try new things and going to different restaurants. With strength and bravery, he overcame many challenges throughout his life. Donald was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his father, Toby Arnold of Cedar Rapids, IA; three sisters, Terri Mirkes of Marion, IA; DeAnn (Brent) Smith of Corpus Christi, TX; and Conni (Dennis) Franck of Cedar Rapids, IA; two nieces and two nephews.
