Arlan was born June 14, 1948 at his grandmother’s house in rural Cameron, MO to Doyle Sindt and Ilene (Carlile) Sindt. Arlan enjoyed growing up and working with his family on their dairy farm. He graduated from Cameron High School in 1966 and went on to receive a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Agriculture from the University of Missouri in 1971.

Arlan married Janelle Martin in 1973, and they raised daughter Stacy in Cameron before moving to Independence in 1976. Arlan married his wife, Jeri, in 2006. They enjoyed life together first in Cameron, then in Grain Valley, MO. Arlan spent most of his career with Farm Credit Services as a land appraiser and loan officer. He was an Elder in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and most recently attended the Cameron Restoration Branch. Even when he was unable to attend church, he continued to study scriptures and worked to live life as a reflection of Jesus. Arlan was a farmer at heart. He loved horses, especially Appaloosas, loved riding, and even showed his horse, Misty, in horse shows. He was also an avid guitar player, and a huge Chet Akins fan. He practiced his guitar daily and often played guitar and sang with friends and family.
