FROM HIS BROTHER DELTON:"Jason Arno was a father, husband, son, brother and best friend to many. He leaves behind a wife (of 10 years, but officially married 6 months ago) and a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Olivia. He was my younger brother by 1 yr and 17 days," Delton Arno wrote. "With how close we were and the suddenness of his passing, no journey in my 38 years has been more harrowing."
He wrote of how Arno's wife, Sarah, was his "soul mate" who was "perfect for Jay. "Their daughter, Olivia, "is still unaware of her father's passing," Delton Arno wrote. "The fact that she and his wife, these two beautiful souls, have to face these disgustingly unfair circumstances is heart-wrenching."
