Thomas Darrel Arndell Jr., also known as Tom, age 56 of Leitchfield, Ky, passed away August 23, 2022. Born August 17, 1966 in McLean County, Illinois, he was the son of Thomas “Darrel” and Betty Arndell of Leitchfield. Tom was a son, husband, father, brother, nephew, uncle and cousin to many.
Tom was an avid Louisville Cardinal sports fan and loved his family dearly. If Tom was not watching sports on TV, you could find him at a ballpark or basketball court watching his grandchildren. Tom also enjoyed a range of music and loved attending concerts with his children. Many joke that you could hear Tom’s music from a mile away. One thing Tom enjoyed most was making people smile and laugh. On any given day, Tom would tell jokes to bring happiness to everyone around. He retired from Fed Ex in Louisville and was a hard worker committed to providing for his family.
