age by my home church, Winchester First UMC. Thank you for all the ways you impacted my life. He spent many years building the Youth Ministry for Beersheba Springs UM Camp. It brought him great joy to give youth spiritual guidance and watch them flourish. He was deeply committed in foreign missions. From 2004 to 2009 he participated in mission trips to Guatemala VIM where he served by building block homes, mixing cement by hand and building a school for the native people. His passion there was Bible School for the children who called him Pap Grande! Besides the joy he found in Christian service and music, John enjoyed spending time watching Science Fiction movies, playing Chess, studying Civil War history, and studying Quantum Physics. John was also preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Rader and Pearl (Jones) Holland of White House, Tennessee and his paternal grandparents Grover and Rebecca (Williams) Arnold of Winchester, Tennessee. He is survived by brothers David (Cindy) Arnold, nieces Heather and Holly Arnold of Lebanon, Tennessee, Jim Arnold of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Steve (Kim) Arnold, nieces Catherine and Lauren Arnold of Winchester, Tennessee, and close family friends Walter and Gloria Herrin of New Johnsonville, Tennessee. A memorial service will be held for John on Saturday, October 14th at the First United Methodist Church in Winchester, Tennessee. Visitation will be at 12 noon prior to the 1:00 pm service.
