Arquilla Abney

Arquilla Abney​ passed peacefully from this life the morning of July 8th after a gradual decline in health in the presence of his home. He was loved and respected by so many friends, neighbors, coworkers, and especially, his family. He was our rock and impacted our lives in so many positive ways. We will forever have a life long void in our hearts. He will truly be missed.

Arquilla was born July 12, 1942, to Mildred and Arquilla Abney, Sr. who preceded him in death. Also preceding him in death were siblings, Beverly Colston, Juanita Penn, Beulah Mae Samuel, and John Sly Abney.
