Hubert Howell Arrington, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, was born on January 4, 1939, in Waynesville, North Carolina. He peacefully departed this life at Pruitt Health on September 7th 2026, surrounded by the love and care of his devoted family. His journey through life was marked by dedication, warmth, and an enduring love for those around him.

Hubert was the beloved son of the late John Bunyan and Ora Davis Arrington. He was preceded in death by all his siblings, including Lucille Carver, Virginia Arrington, Juanita Ollie Brooks, Gladys Hill, Joyce Tabor, and JB Arrington. His legacy is carried forth by his loving wife, Jean L. Arrington, with whom he shared a remarkable 49 years of marriage.

He was a proud father to Sherry Buchanan(deceased), and his children Scott (Krissy), Sammy (Kim), Stanley (Teresa), Angelia (Ted), and Timothy (Tori). Hubert's love and wisdom were treasured by his 11 grandchildren: Meredith, Amy, Sabrina, Krystal, Sheli, Tera, Todd, Makalia, Hannah, and Kimberley; and his 18 great-grandchildren: Nadia, Kaiah, Cason, Paisley, Hudson, Dylan, Carmen, Alaya, Kailey, Makenzley, Peyton, Lincoln, Kendyn, Lennox, Saylor, Adriel, Anna, and Levi.

In his youth, Hubert honorably served his country in the U.S. Army, a commitment that he carried with pride throughout his life. Professionally, he was the heart and soul of Arrington Pump Service, which he owned and operated for over two decades. Through his work, Hubert was known not only for his skill but for his integrity and the genuine care he extended to all.

A man of many words and endless stories, Hubert was a talker who never met a stranger. His ability to engage others with warmth and humor was a testament to his compassionate nature and his enduring interest in people. Above all, his greatest joy in life was his family, who were his heart and soul.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Pruitt Health for the compassionate care they provided Hubert during his time with them. In honor of his life and legacy, the family requests that any donations be made in his memory to a charity of your choice.

A Memorial service will be held to honor and celebrate Hubert’s life. It will be held at Amazing Grace Baptist Church on September 19,  2026 at 1 PM as they remember and reflect on the love and joy he brought into their lives.

Hubert Arrington will be dearly missed, but his spirit and love will remain a guiding light for all who knew him.
