Arlie Childers is a loving father, grandfather, and friend who has always put others before himself. Known for his passion for motorcycles, his tattoos, and his love of NASCAR, Arlie’s personality shines through in every memory we share. He’s the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back to help a stranger, and his kindness has touched countless lives in our community.

Right now, our family is facing one of the hardest moments imaginable. Arlie is currently on life support, and doctors expect he will transition to hospice care very soon. As we prepare for his end-of-life care and the difficult days ahead, we want to honor him in a way that reflects the love and generosity he’s shown to everyone around him.

Our family—his mother Shannon, sisters Lori and Jennifer, sons William, Ryan, Winston, and Aron, along with his many grandchildren, cousins, and friends—are coming together to ask for help with funeral arrangements and cemetery costs. Any support will help us give Arlie the farewell he deserves and ease the financial burden during this emotional time. Thank you for helping us celebrate Arlie’s life and legacy.
