Born on July 13th, 1982, in Birmingham, Alabama, to Georgia Ann Allen, who now resides in Clarksville, Tennessee. Sonny is survived by his loving devoted wife Candace Arrington: and a beautiful, wonderful family. Sonny has seven beautiful children whom he loved and was a great father to.
Sonny graduated from Murray State University with a degree in Business Administration. He was a loyal worker for Wyatt Johnson for 4 years. 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. He worked hard and lived to come home from work and be with his family, to spend time with his children and loving wife.
Sonny was preceded in death by His Grandparents’, Willie Jasper and Margaret Allen, John Arrington Sr, and Irene Arrington. Uncles and Aunts: Special to him was Aunt Angie, E. Jean, Gwen, Vanessa, and Alestine. Uncle Wayne, Willie T, Uncle Carl (Blue) who died beside him, Tank and Chico. April, Toya, Flip, J’Oree and other Family members young and old too numerous to name, he loved them all and was beloved by all of them. Sonny was truly loved by everyone. 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. You could come to Sonny and Candace’s home and be welcomed with open arms, a plate of food, good music, and a great time.
Sonny was a wonderful father, who no matter what took care of his children and his wife.
