Staven M. Arnold, resident of Pembroke Pines, FL passed away of pancreatic cancer at age 75 on April 25,2021. He is survived by daughter Kacey Arnold who was with him at the very end.
Inurnment will take place on May 19, 2021 at Beth David Memorial Gardens in Hollywood, FL.
A graduate of NYU. In his younger years, Staven co-owned a record store in Atlanta and sold classic cars. He later returned to Florida to take care of his parents, Barbara and Louis. He also helped his daughter make a documentary on schizophrenia that brought them closer together.
He will be remembered as a great photographer and storyteller. A master of dry delivery. A burger lover. A music lover. A beach lover. A ladies man. A loving father whose last words to his daughter were, “I love you. Are you going to be ok?” A truly unique individual who never cared who society told him to be. ‘You can’t talk to the cops about rock n’roll...’
Laid to rest on 5/19/21. In our hearts always.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to NAMI in his honor. https://donate.nami.org
(Since it’s mental health awareness month donations will be doubled so you can help make a real impact!!)
