OZARK…On Friday, April 17, 2026, Sergeant First Class, United States Army, Retired, Gerald Dale Arrington of Ozark, Alabama passed away at home with his loving wife by his side.

He graduated from Glenelg High School in Glenelg, Maryland, and later earned his technical degree in drafting from George C. Wallace Dothan, Alabama.
Fred found immense joy in life’s simple and meaningful moments, especially those spent with his beloved wife, Mary. He enjoyed grilling for family and friends, sharing caviar with his daughter, chatting with his niece and spending time outdoors camping, beaching, boating, and documenting wildlife with his love, his wife. He had a deep love for animals, especially birds, and a lifelong passion for helicopters that remained close to his heart.
Mr. Arrington treasured time with his friends and fellow retirees, often enjoying a cold drink while cheering on his favorite team, Alabama football—Roll Tide. Fred had a presence that could light up any room, paired with a calm and steady nature that brought comfort and ease to those around him. His kindness, strength, and quiet wisdom left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Fred was a gentle and peaceful man with a generous heart, always ready to share kindness, laughter, and love. As Leo Tolstoy wrote, “Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.” Fred lived this truth in the way he loved his family, his friends, and everyone blessed to know him.
