Aarne Armas "Arska" Arvonen (4 August 1897 – 1 January 2009[1]) was, at age 111 years, 150 days, a Finnish supercentenarian.

[1] Aarne Arvonen was born in Helsinki and was the last surviving veteran of the Finnish Civil War of 1918 having served for the Red Guard.

[3][4] Arvonen later lived in Kallio, Helsinki, and had two daughters, Irma and Paula, with his wife Sylvi Emilia Salonen.

His wife died in 1938, and that year he moved to Järvenpää, where he eventually lived in the Vanhankylänniemi rest home.

He recovered from the inflammation, and his health was good still in 2008, but he had lost his sight and needed a hearing aid.
