He was a 1962 graduate of Watonga, Oklahoma High School, attended Oklahoma State University, then began a career with the Kellwood textile industry spanning over 25 years. He then began working as an independent insurance agent until his retirement. Arthur served as Perry Chamber of Commerce President in 1987.

Arthur was a member of Perry United Methodist Church.
Arthur married the love of his life, Linda Smith Loewen, on January 31, 1963. Born of that union were two children, Jeffrey Arthur Loewen (Laura) and Tracy Liane Loewen Hill (Cale), both of Perry; five grandchildren, Brandon Loewen, Dalton Hill, and Connor Hill, all of Perry, Steven Smith of Dothan, Alabama, and Stephanie Smith Duckworth (Bryan) of Perry; and two great-grandsons, Hunter Smith of Dothan and Brody Duckworth of Perry. Also surviving Arthur are his sisters, Clara Loewen Sitter (Les) of Littleton, Colorado, and Polly Loewen Oliver (Jim) of Norman, Oklahoma; and numerous nieces and nephews.
