Harold E Arthur

Harold E. Arthur, a month shy of 90, stepped into the arms of
our Heavenly Father on Sunday, April 6, 2025 with family by his side at
Villa Georgetown under Maysville Hospice of Hope care.
This bubble blowing bubble gum champion was called into ministry
and spent 50+ years preaching about God’s love and mercy for us. He
served several congregations with his most recent being Pleasant Grove
Church. Harold enjoyed singing in quartets, meeting new friends,
substitute teaching, junk store diving and to be on the go. He never
met a stranger. Once he had you in the classroom, he felt that you
were his student. He truly enjoyed interacting with and making kids
happy, especially enjoyed giving the younger ones stuffed animals. He
also dearly loved the family football Turkey Bowls. He was a generous
and kind man who loved anything Kentucky.
Harold was born May 7, 1935 at home in Wheelersburg, Egbert
Stop, Ohio, the son of the late Harry and Sudie Bays Arthur. Besides
his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Patricia Hart
Arthur, two brothers Howard Arthur, Vernon Arthur; three sisters
Patti Thomas, Janice Brown, Hellen Duncan, three brothers-in-law
William Duncan, Harvey Brown, Robert Thomas; three sisters-in-law
Elsie Arthur, Marge Arthur, Crystal Allen.
He is survived by two sons Tom (Evelyn), Howard (Suzanne), four
grandchildren Jessica (Rodney), Jacob (Beth), Kathleen (Zach), Lillian
(Zach) and four great grandchildren Eleanor, Edward, Ernest, Wylie,
three step-grandchildren Matthew (Kassidy), Brittany (Jess), Lauren
(Luke) six step-great grandchildren Maylee, Jonah, Landon, Philip,
Charles, Theo. He is also survived by one sister-in-law Candace
Simmons and one brother-in-law John Allen as well as his special friend
and care giver Shirley Mullikin.

Life
Life is just a stepping-stone
A pause before we make it home
A simple place to rest and be,
Until we reach eternity.
Everyone has a life journey,
A path to take with lots to see
God guides our steps along the way,
But we were never meant to stay.
Our final destination is a place
Filled with love, His majesty and grace.
Today we celebrate the life of a loved one
Who has gone before us, the race he has won.
His journey has now ended,
His spirit has ascended
Claiming the great reward
With Jesus, our Lord.
