Keith would say, “Miles City is my home and Williston is where I live.”
Keith D. Arnold, on April 19, 2023, hit the open road after a short battle with Cancer.
Keith, son of Daniel and Patricia Arnold was born in 1972 in Stutsgard Germany. At a young age, Keith and his parents moved back to Miles City, where the family grew by two, gaining a sister Virginia and a brother Andrew.
Throughout his younger years, Keith loved heckling his siblings, baseball, shooting pool, and learning the art of poker from his grandfather, Frank. After graduating high school in 1990, Keith worked various concrete and construction jobs. Early in the 90s, Keith met Linda. Then in 1997, he became a parent to his first child, M’KaLa Danae and four years later, his second child Macy Kae.
Keith never gave up his passions. Later in his years, he shot and brought the best to the game of pool one could find in Miles City. He loved loud rock music and enjoying time with his friends.
Within the last years of his life, Keith was no different. He lived in Williston, ND, indulged in many games of Poker, occasionally shot pool, and worked. Keith, at the time of his passing, was employed at All In Trucking. He loved being in the semi, on the road, or in the shop. Most of all, he loved being with his dog, Elgin Ben Jonesin’. He was beyond passionate about his work and took great value in what he did. He was always the guy for the job. Not only at work, but in any job or situation, Keith was the guarantee, whatever needed to get done would get done to what he thought was best… and he had high standards.
Dependability was just one of Keith’s many great qualities. Keith was loyal, trustworthy, courageous, and as his best friend Jesse Dunning said, “more than just a friend, it goes a lot deeper than that. He was a brother.” Keith was genuine. He was, is, and always will be the guy you could call for anything. Keith will always be “top drawer” in everyone’s book.
Keith is proceeded in death by his grandparents Keith and Charolette Arnold, the honorable Frank Thibault, retired USAF, and Claudia Thibault, his daughter Macy Kay Arnold, and his mother Patricia Ann Thibault.
Keith is survived by his daughter M’KaLa Danae Arnold of Miles City, MT, his dog Elgin of Williston, ND, his father Daniel Keith Arnold of Miles City, MT, his sister Virginia “Ginny” (Jason Kautzman) of Williston, ND, and his brother Andrew Arnold of Miles City, MT. Keith is also survived by countless friends, acquaintances,
and family members.
