Arnold F. Gorney

GORNEY, ARNOLD "ARNE" August 30, 1965 — May 12, 2026 Arnold “Arne” Gorney, age 60, of Michigan, passed away surrounded by the family he so fiercely protected and loved. A man of great integrity, intelligence, and loyalty, Arne’s life was defined by his "heart of gold" and a deep commitment to showing his love through his actions. Above all, Arne was a devoted husband to Joanne Gorney and a proud, steadfast father to his sons, Bryan (23) and Zackary (14). He was their strong protector and a constant, reliable presence in their lives. He was the son of Arnold and Rosie Gorney, a brother to Dean (Leah) Gorney, and was preceded in death by his older brother, Duane. Whether as a husband, father, son, or friend, Arne deeply cared for those within his circle, offering a strength and kindness that others could always depend on. A proud veteran, Arne served four years in the United States Navy as an Air Intercept Controller. In this high-stakes role, he was responsible for the tactical navigation and guidance of aircraft, a testament to the precision and focus that defined his character. Following his honorable discharge, he transitioned those skills into a distinguished career in Information Technology. Through his work ethic and leadership, he rose to the level of Senior Regional Director before founding his own company, a move that allowed him to transition into an early pseudo-retirement. Arne was a man of deep faith, a foundation that guided his integrity and his desire to serve others. In 2024, he and other original board members founded The Hosanna Ministry together. He also previously served on the board for the Judson Center and was a member of the Knights of Columbus, St. John Vianney Chapter. When he wasn't working or serving his community, Arne found his greatest peace in nature. He was an avid hunter and cherished his time in Bad Axe, Michigan, where he could disconnect and spend time in the woods and fields with his family and close friends. His sharp wit, steadfast presence, and the dedicated way he cared for his family and friends will be profoundly missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. We are all incredibly blessed to have known and loved him. God has been so wonderful to us, allowing us time to spend together and to prepare as a family—especially the boys. God is so good and so faithful, and we now entrust our beloved Arne into His mighty hands and merciful love. Farewell, my love. Until we meet again.
