Lonnie Edward Oldham, Jr., 54, passed away on August 17, 2025. He was born on July 16, 1971, to Lonnie Oldham, Sr. and Cynthia Ann Spivey, who both survive him.
Lonnie was a man with a kind and generous heart. He was always willing to help his friends and family whenever he could, and he never hesitated to put others before himself. He found joy in life's simple pleasures - a cold Mountain Dew, a tall glass of iced tea, and watching wrestling, which he loved to watch with enthusiasm.
He will be deeply missed by his brothers, William James and James Michael, along with many extended family members and friends who were touched by his warmth, humor, and loyalty.
Lonnie's life will be honored at [service details], where those who loved him will gather to remember his laughter, his giving spirit, and the countless ways he made life brighter.
Although he had no children of his own, Lonnie's love extended widely - to his family, his friends, his loving dachshund Maggie, and to anyone who needed a hand. His presence was a gift, and his memory will remain a blessing to all who knew him.
