Johnny Ray Arrington

Johnny Ray Arrington was born to the parentage of the late Nathaniel and Bennie (Colbert) Arrington on February 3, 1956, in Garland, Texas. He received his formal education from Wilmer Hutchins ISD and was a proud graduate of the class of 1974. He met and married Mildred (Debbie) Richardson in 1979, and to that union, there were three beautiful children.

Johnny worked for D.A.R.T. for over twenty years until he retired. He enjoyed shooting pool, playing basketball, spending time with family, going to BBQs, and out to eat. He also loved cracking jokes and displaying his sarcasm at any moment.

In life, though, his most important role was being a husband to his wife Mildred, a father to his children, and a Poppy to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Johnny loved his family!

On Sunday, November 05, 2023, Johnny Ray Arrington entered into his eternal home of Glory. He was welcomed by his parents, Bennie and Nathaniel Arrington; two uncles and two aunts.

He leaves to cherish his memories, wife Mildred Arrington; one son, Johnny Jr. (Britney); two daughters, Jawanna Arrington and Teniqua Cobbin; five grandchildren, Makenzie Rose Arrington, Melody Rae Arrington, Tiarra Taylor, Diontrai Collins and Travontay Collins; three great-grandchildren, Victoria Watson, Torrian Watson and Torielle Watson; two brothers, Willie Arrington and Lee Arrington; one sister, Margaret Arrington; aunt, Ola Walls; uncle, Frank Colbert and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
