Lon was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He served in the United States Army, achieving the rank of Sergeant before his honorable discharge. After the Army, he moved to Minneapolis where he attended college. While in Minneapolis, he married his wife of 54 years just six months after meeting her on a blind date.

He taught Sunday school and served his church in numerous capacities. He retired with his wife in Cumming, Georgia.

Lon enjoyed cars, music, fishing, football, movies, and just about any kind of pie. He is lovingly remembered for his kindness, gentleness, wisdom, and inherent leadership skills.

Lon is preceded in death by his parents and sister. He is survived by his spouse, Diane (Schroeder); his daughter, Anita (Aaron) Smith; his daughter, Andrea Shyrock; and his grandson, Grant Smith.
