Born on August 28, 1943, he was preceded in death by his parents Ralph and Beatrice (Cassell) Jones, his sister Barbara Jo Dunn and sister-in-law Anita Gorrell.

For relaxation, Lonnie enjoyed golfing (60 years, with two holes in one) and fishing.
Very active in his church, Lonnie was proud to be a Christian. He was a member of Southside Baptist Church.
He was a veteran, serving in the 119th Air National Guard in Alcoa as a medic for six years. He was honorably discharged in October 1970.
