Sean Michael Arnold

It is with deep sorrow that we announce Sean Michael Arnold passed away unexpectedly on March 6, 2024, in Maui, Hawaii. Sean, born in Fairfax, Virginia on February 11, 1985, was the first of four sons born to Daron John Arnold and Mai Sheridan Arnold. Sean’s early years were spent in Santa Monica, California, while his father attended UCLA Law School. After the family relocated to Colorado, Sean spent his school years in and around Highlands Ranch and graduated from Thunder Ridge High School in 2003. After graduation, Sean attended CSU in Fort Collins then began his career in the service industry where he spent the next 20 years working in hospitality and restaurant management. Sean loved the outdoors and enjoyed his time living and working in Vail and Maui. He had an infectious smile and a twinkle in his eye that brought joy to those around him. Sean made friends wherever he went, and friends became family or ‘Ohana, as they say in Hawaiian.

Sean is survived by his parents; Daron and Mai Arnold, younger brothers; David Harrison Arnold, Ryan John Arnold, and Garrett Lawrence Arnold, all of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; his maternal grandparents, Harrison John Sheridan and Quynh Nhu Sheridan, both of San Antonio, Texas; and his paternal grandmother Barbara Arnold of Rockport, Massachusetts as well as numerous uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Sean was predeceased by his grandparents David Phillips Arnold and Elayne Tingey.

A memorial service for friends and family will be held at Mountainview Christian Church located at 40 E. Highlands Ranch Parkway, Highlands Ranch, Colorado 80126 on Friday, May 3, 2024, at 2pm, followed by a reception on the premises.
