Lonnie Jones was born Feb. 19, 1952, in Wenatchee, Wash., and passed
away Oct. 28, 2016, in Kingman, Ariz.

Lonnie worked as a tow truck driver for Great West Towing and as a
diesel mechanic/truck driver for Tru-Serv for over 30 years
combined.

He took great pride in being the crew chief for Dr. Macrae Glass in
off road racing for Best in the Desert and SCORE, where together
they won eight championships and developed a strong friendship. He
enjoyed having coffee and chatting with his friends Miller, Wheeler,
and Warner, where some funny and some not so funny stories were
shared.

To quote a friend, “He was always ready for whatever, whenever, and
wherever”.

Lonnie was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Doris Jones.

He is survived by his wife Kathy, daughter Heather, son Jeremy
(Melissa) Coleman, granddaughters Anastasia and Olivia; sister
Virginia (Dene) Powell, sister Linda (Victor) Strand, and nieces
Angie (Rob) Manjarrez, Barbie Fischer, Katie (Jared) Covington and
Amber Strand.

His family, friends, and I were allowed to share in Lonnie’s life
and we are honored to have done so. We love you and we will miss
you.

Lonnie’s memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, 2016, in
Desert View Funeral Home, 2215 Northern Ave in Kingman, Ariz. A pot
luck lunch will follow the service.
