Sonny graduated from Murray State University with a degree in Business Administration. He was loyal worker for Wyatt Johnson for 4yrs. He was well-known for his kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering love and support for all who knew him. Sonny was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend. A devout Alabama fan. Loved his dogs and fishing with his friend Al and Jamel. And ready to pop one on Gedone’s head from time to time. Excited every time he got to see his cousins Cory, Neicy, Stacy and the rest of the crew. Like his cousin Neicy, he loved to grill.

Sonny believed in the resurrection and was confident that they are all in God’s memory. And will rise again.

Sonny is survived by his loving devoted wife Candace Arrington. Everyone who knew Sonny, Candace was not far behind him, if she wasn’t Sonny would say “here comes Bae”. Sonny was always laughing at the silly things Candace would say and do and just allow her to be herself.
