JP was born on Saturday, January 17, 1987 and was lost to us unexpectedly on Thursday, January 2, 2020.

JP lived for his love of his family and friends as well as his love of nature, food, music, science, and adventure! He was one of the sweetest, kindest, most caring and funny people anyone has ever met.

It was always quoted by every employee at every job he held that he was reliable and hard-working and enjoyable to work with, always bringing smiles to their faces.

JP was inquisitive and insightful. He was incredibly intelligent and at any random time could be known to spout a vast quantity of scientific facts and knowledge. He could recite from memory an extremely lengthy first portion of the Pi formula.

He attended school in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District and beginning at age 16, started courses at Milwaukee Area Technical College to pursue a degree in Biochemistry.

He was loved by all who knew him. He will live forever in our hearts.

JP is survived by his mother and step-father, Richette & Jay Fernandez, his father, Jon Arnold; siblings Nicole Arnold (Adam), Melissa Fernandez, Mikayla Fernandez (Chris), and Jamison Fernandez (Emily); nieces Zoe, Saya, Katana, and Mia; grandparents, Theron and Evonne Maas, and Donna Koehler; as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends.

Visitation for family and friends will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 9600 West Grange Avenue, Hales Corners, WI 53130.
