Melvin Earl Lonzo Jr. was born July 11, 1982 in Helena, AR to the late Melvin Earl Lonzo Sr. and Carolyn Joanne Hines. The apostle Paul said our life is like a vapor; his vapor ended on this side January 8, 2019. Now he lives eternally with our father. We know because he repented, confessed and asked the Lord and family for forgiveness.

His passion was people. He loved the human race in general; especially the wo-man. In his spare time, he loved fishing, he thought he was a mechanic, he could start repairing a vehicle but he might not could always finish it. He worked several jobs but his most passionate one was driving trucks.

Mourning, but celebrating his resolve with Christ on this side is his:
