Yesterday we have been informed of the very recent passing of industry pioneer, and close friend, Dave Arneson. He was a very honorable man, who I knew for 30 years. In all that time, I never knew anyone to say a word against his character. My family, my company, and I will miss his advice and friendship. —Bob Bledsaw Jr.
From the Family:
Shortly after 11pm on Tuesday, April 7th, Dave Arneson passed away. He was comfortable and with family at the time and his passing was peaceful.
The Arneson family would like to thank everyone for their support over the last few days, and for the support the entire community has shown Dave over the years.
We are in the process of making final arrangements and will provide additional details as we work them out. We will continue to receive cards and letters in Dave's honor. We are planning to hold a public visitation so that anyone wishing to say their goodbye in person has the opportunity to do so.
Cards and letters can continue to be sent:
