John Andrew Lonergan, a man known for his quick wit, and infectious humor, passed away on Saturday, June 21st, 2025, joining our heavenly father. Born on November 25th, 1947, in Whitman, Massachusetts at Goddard Hospital, he was the only child of Raymond and Mary Lonergan. John, a proud resident of Daphne, AL, had a long successful career in car sales, and in his free time, he enjoyed driving around the Bay and enjoying local restaurants.
John was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Mary Lonergan, and Raymond's second wife, Shirley Lonergan.
His memory will be cherished by his children, Melissa Buckmann, Molly Forestner (Dan), Brian Lonergan; his grandchildren, Marc Buckmann, Daniel Forestner III, Finnian Forestner, Makenzie Forestner; and his beloved companion, Suzanne Williams.
