He was born in London, Kentucky, on November 14, 1942, to William L. and Nellie (Deaton) McCracken. On May 9, 1964, Arnie married Sharon (McCoy) and they shared over 41 years of treasured memories and were blessed with two sons and a daughter. Arnie was so loved by his family and is survived by Sharon; sons, Brett (Wendy) McCracken and Craig (Melissa) McCracken; and daughter, Krista (Eric) Taylor.
