Condolences for the family of “Steve Arnold”
My condolences to the family and friends of Steve Arnold. He was a great guy and he will be missed by a lot of people. Steve was instrumental in getting me my very first judging assignment in Dallas.
Steve was one of a kind, and left a positive and inspirational mark on those who knew him. His legacy will live on through the lives of those he loved.
Steve was a kind and sweet person! He was my brother in law for a few years and I enjoyed the times I got to spend with him. I loved seeing him when I would take Rowdy (my Sheltie) to get groomed. He was a wonderful, graceful and very smooth-ballroom dancer. I loved grabbing a dance with him whenever I got a chance. I was so happy to see him in love and married to someone that loved him in the way he deserved to be loved. Rest in peace Steve ❤️
Steve really was a real friend to our family. We bought one of our Great Danes from him and for years, he and Mark were always available to chat, share pictures and give us helpful ideas. We remember how much Steve loved to teach and how kind he was. He always made us feel like a member of the family. Our world was better because of his wonderful friendship. God Speed Steve.
Hello, I wanted to give my condolences on Steve’s passing! Steve taught me how to groom 21 years ago at Texas Allbreed Grooming School! He was such a nice man!.
