Obituary Notice
William Allen “Billy” Arnold, age 45, of Three Rivers, passed away on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Bronson Methodist Hospital.
He was born March 20, 1981, in Mount Clemens, Michigan, the son of Alwyn Arnold and June (Humes) Adair, and graduated from Centreville High School. Billy was known for his quiet, laid-back personality—speaking when he had something to say. In his youth, he developed a deep passion for basketball, playing continuously from elementary school through high school.
Billy was recently promoted from operator to supervisor at Miniature Custom Manufacturing in Vicksburg. Beyond his work, he enjoyed the simple pleasures in life: watching mafia movies, building his sneaker collection, taking meticulous care of his car, and sharing deep conversations with his mother. Above all else, his greatest joy was spending quality time with his son.
Remaining to cherish his memory are his son, William Jones; his mother, June Adair; his sisters, Junise (Orande) Charles and Jennifer (Matthew) Bynum; his brothers, Brian (Michelle) Arnold, Alwyn Arnold Jr., and Jonathan Adair; his aunts and uncles, Barb Humes, Deborah Brown, Angela (George) Folk, Ralph (Dawn) Humes, Brenda Wilson, and William “Sonny” Arnold; and his great-aunts, Doris Rollerson, Lorraine Shelton, Mary Shelton; and great-uncle, Coy Whitten.
He was preceded in death by his father, Alwyn Arnold; stepfather, Gordon Adair; grandparents, Ralph and Jerelene “Geraldine” Humes, and William and Ola Arnold; and aunts, Gwenda Cummings and Linda Patterson.
