William Arnn Obituary
William “Dub” Jewell Arnn, 84, of Decatur, Texas passed away peacefully on July 12, 2025.
Born and raised in Amarillo, Texas, William rose above his circumstances and built a wonderful life that was full of adventure. He was a great salesman and earned many awards and accolades during a storied career, 40 years strong with Cummins/Fleetguard. He was proud of being so useful and could fix anything from a simple honey-do to a car engine (and everything in between). He enjoyed watching old westerns and sipping good scotch and will be missed dearly by his family.
He leaves behind his wife, 3 daughters and a son (and their spouses), 5 grandsons and 2 granddaughters, and a great-grandson. He’s been reunited with his mother, father, siblings, grandson, and first wife, as well as many fur babies he loved along the way.
Visitation with the family will be from 6-7:00 p.m., Thursday, July 17, 2025, at Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors, 2800 Paramount Blvd.
A memorial service will be held at Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel, 2800 Paramount Blvd., in Amarillo on Friday, July 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. with graveside interment to follow at Llano Cemetery.
2800 Paramount Blvd, Amarillo, TX 79109
