Richard Lonsberry Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Rick was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He graduated from Samuel Clemens High School before serving in the Army, where he excelled in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Criminal Investigations (CID). Over his nine years of service, he earned the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, and Army Good Conduct Medal. Although his work took him away from Texas for some time, he always said he "got back here as fast as he could."
Rick is preceded in death by his mother and father, Bud and Trudy Lonsberry; and wife of 28 years, Holly Collinge Lonsberry.
He is survived by his children, Lauren (Christian) Dewald, Marc Mercury, Emelia (Ellie) Lonsberry; grandchild Austin Dewald; siblings, Mike Lonsberry, Barbara Caraway, Charlie (Janet) Lonsberry, Rod (Patti) Collinge, Dawn Collinge, Glenn (Jill) Collinge; 11 nieces and nephews; and 21 grand nieces and nephews.
