Lonnie was born in Chickasha, Oklahoma on January 26, 1949.
He then moved to Kerman, California at the age of 3.
This was a man with an 8th grade education who worked really hard his whole life and made good decisions, who then became a really successful business man and made a really good life for his whole family with his wife, Lana who he married at the age of 16. They had 3 children.
After struggling for many years, he then moved his family to Bakersfield; and built a business from the ground up.
He became known as Mr. Dellco Gunite to many, its now the longest operating gunite business in Kern County.
He also became known as Big Daddy Lonnie Cox at the Bakersfield Speedway where he enjoyed racing his hobby stock and owned number 86" Late Model, which won the championship in 1998".
He also enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening and visiting with his many friends.
He will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 39 years, Lana: he will also be missed by his mother, Opal Chamber; father-in-law, Ira Tayler; mother-in-law, Vivian; daughter, Gina Robertson and husband; son, Lonnie Buck Jr. and his wife, Elizabeth. Know as Papa to Aimee, Nicole, Desiree, Clayton, Nickholas, Cheris, Tabitha, Chyna and great-grandson, Cody Jace; also his four brothers, four sisters and the rest of a very big family.
We have hope though, at John 5:28, 29 which says Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, whose who did good things to a resurrection of life , those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
UNTIL THEN WE LOVE YOU!
