With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Arnold E. Thrond, a kind and thoughtful soul, who departed from this world on May 14, 2024.

Arnold was born on May 13, 1931 to Anders and Emma (Nicholson) Thrond in Silver Lake Township in Worth County. Growing up on the family farm, Arnold learned early in life the skills he would need to be a farmer. He married Beverly Peterson in 1952 and they raised five sons. Arnold enjoyed teaching Sunday School and serving on the Our Savior’s Lutheran Church council. His love for cultivating the earth, traveling and fishing reflected his gentle and nurturing spirit. As a dedicated farmer and truck driver Arnold found fulfillment in his work and took pride in providing for his family.

He is survived by his sons, Randy (Tina) Thrond, of Kiester, Steven (Mary) Thrond, of Walters, Paul (Jessica) Thrond, of Licking, Missouri; and daughter-in-law, Paty Thrond, of Emmons; grandchildren, Ashley (Mark) Sinniah, of Roseville, Lauren (Cody) Thrond, of Wells, Elizabeth (Jon) Cisar, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Erin (Matt) Sweet, of Otsego and Casey Thrond, of Zimmerman; great-grandsons, Leon and Camron Sinniah, Anders Nelson and Winston Sweet; brothers, Truman (Barbara) Thrond, of Albert Lea, Dale (Kathy) Thrond, of Northwood; and companion, Darlene Anderson, of Blue Earth and her family.

Arnold was preceded in death by his parents, Anders and Emma; sons, David and Bruce Thrond; and sister and brother-in-law, Margie and Max Brones.

Friends and family paid their respects at the public visitation at Patton Funeral Home & Cremation Service on May 23, 2024. A funeral service was held at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Kiester on May 24 to commemorate Arnold’s life and the cherished memories he left behind.
