Arnie was born on October 31, 1945, in Gary, Indiana, and often spoke fondly of his early years there. He valued the memories from his hometown during its more vibrant days.
He earned his undergraduate degree from Valparaiso University. He continued his education at Valparaiso University Law School, graduating in 1972. Arnold practiced law in Portage, Indiana, until his retirement in 2014.
In 1979, Arnold married Cindy (Price) Coons, who survives him. He is also survived by his sons, Scott and Jason, and his grandchildren, Sophie, Becca, and Andrew, whom he dearly loved. He was preceded in death by his parents, Arnold A. Coons, Sr. and Anne B. Coons.
Arnold had a wide range of interests over the years. He was an avid golfer and played various courses whenever he had the chance. Later in life, he and Cindy enjoyed traveling together, especially to small towns across the country. Many of his favorite memories came from time spent outdoors, hunting and fishing with his sons.
In accordance with his wishes, a private service will be held for immediate family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Arnie was a special guy who always shared a joke when he saw you and he will be missed.
I knew Arnie since 1st grade at Ambridge school. Great guy. He hit 6 home runs in Little League one season. I think that might have been the record. Yes he always had a joke. We would talk several times a year about old buddies. He had a lot of info on Horace Mann fiends and teachers. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
I will miss Arnie with terrible sadness. I was glad to have him bring his son and grand daughter up to Beverly Shores and give the little one a tour of the police car. Such a great time. Was so supportive of the police and always had a joke or two. RIP Arnie. We will meet again. I’m sure.
