Donald Eugene Arndt
May 20, 1952 — August 15, 2020
Donald Eugene Arndt, 68, of Lenexa, (formerly of Topeka, KS) passed away on August 15, 2020 at Overland Park Regional Medical Center.
He was born on May 20, 1952 to William and Leily (Deusch) Arndt at Fort Riley, KS. He graduated from Washburn Rural High School in 1970, where he was a member of the varsity football team.
Donald had an extensive and multifaceted career working in the printing/advertising industry and retired in 2016 from Capital Graphics in Topeka, KS.
Donald was artistic and creative. He loved working with his hands and always had a project or idea in mind. He enjoyed painting, woodworking, and graphic design. Donald's passion to explore foods from various ethnicities turned meal times into an adventure, he was always eager to try something new, no matter how strange it may be. Donald was most at home when he was outdoors. He loved camping, cookouts, waterskiing and fishing. He was an avid fly-fisherman and had dreamed of returning to the trout stream following a long-awaited hip replacement. He loved watching a good sunset and his favorite color was the purplish-pink tones found in the sky right before the sun goes down, which he called "sky-blue pink".
Donald is survived by his loving son, Kyle Arndt (Cindy) and daughter Shaina Clark (Chris), grandchildren Kye & William Arndt; Liam, Landry, Eleanor & Owen Clark, sister Nila Maxwell (Tyler).
He was preceded in death by his parents William and Leily Arndt.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 23, 2020 at 2pm at Penwell-Gabel Olathe Chapel, with visitation to follow the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to your local Humane Society.
