Lonnie Smith McKinney, 61 of Van Buren had the best Valentine’s Day as he entered the gates of Heaven on February 14, 2020 at 9:30am surrounded by family and love.
Lonnie was born January 20, 1959 in Ozark, AR to the late Vance McKinney and Joyce Hall McKinney.
Lonnie was a carpenter who built many homes with his dad in the Ozark and surrounding areas. He was also an over the road truck driver who loved the road and had been through all 48 continental states. Most of all he loved his grandchildren. Nothing brought him greater joy than being “Papa” to Bodee, Sarah, Maelyn, Jayden, Landon, Kash, Vance, Rachel, Kaylee, Rylee, Jaxon, Dylan, Anna and Emmalynn.
Lonnie is preceded in death by his parents, Vance and Joyce McKinney, maternal grandparents Malcolm and Mildred Hall, paternal grandparents Ralph and Aria McKinney, his beautiful sister Robin Richard and his nephew, Travis McKinney.
Lonnie always said that his greatest contribution to this earth is the ones he is leaving behind. He leaves behind his wife of 43 years, Vicki McKinney. Three sons Justin and wife Megan and Josh and wife Kim, all of Van Buren, Jesse and wife Haylee of Ozark. He also leaves two daughters, Cary and husband Joe of Van Buren, and Amanda and husband Wayne of Alma, and 14 grandchildren who love and adore him. He also leaves behind two brothers, Travis and wife Lalaina of OKC and Skeeter and wife Louise of Ozark. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, friends and family who loved him dearly.
