To all our dear friends:
It is with great sorrow and sadness that the girls and I announce the passing away of our best friend, my Husband, and most importantly, the father to our girls. Arden passed away peacefully on March 13th. The girls were each able to have some quiet personal time with him this evening to speak to him one on one with their own personal messages of love. They returned thereafter and were also once again able to have their own personal time alone one on one.
It is the request of the girls and I at this time that there be no flowers.
The girls and I will be announcing shortly what family wishes are.
Service arrangements will be made later this week. It is the desire of the girls that the service not be held immediately. They have requested this evening that they have some quiet personal time and they wish to be surrounded by all their friends and so we will ensure that there is time for their circle of friends to be able to attend in the next couple of weeks. As soon as the girls and I have made those arrangements we will ensure that we advise you.
We wish to take this time to thank each and every one of you for your love, support, commitment, and strength. It has been a very long three years for each of us and it breaks my heart that his girls have had to endure such sorrow rather than having his arms hug and surround them. We thank you for all that you have done.
If there is a name that has been omitted on this email, please accept my apologies and I would request that you kindly pass it along to those.
Thank you all for your love and support,
Kim, Kelsey, and Morgan
Arden passed away.

There is an obituary for Arden in the South Delta Leader. Follow this link: http://web.bcnewsgroup.com/portals-code ... &id=614775
Note a service will be held March 31st at 7 PM, and a funeral April 1 at 10 AM at Sacred Heart Catholic Church located at 3900 Arthur Dr.
It would be nice to have some of us that knew Arden show up in support of him and his family. I am inclined to attend the Friday evening, myself.
