Lonnie was born in Clinton, Missouri on September 16, 1968 to Fredrick (Sonny) and Barbara (Bobbie) Griffitt. He lived his whole life in Clinton, Missouri. Lonnie was a beloved son, brother, partner, uncle, nephew and friend. If you knew Lonnie you would know his passion was farming. You could always find him on the farm with his brother and best friend, Randy. Lonnie was quite the character. He loved being ornery but would always lend a helping hand if you were in need. He will truly be missed by all of his family and friends.

Lonnie was preceded in death by his grandparents Fred and Helen Griffitt, Edgar William and Bessie Taft, his parents Fredrick (Sonny) and Barbara (Bobbie) Griffitt and a half-brother Gene Jerome.

Lonnie is survived by his partner, Shelly Bath, two brothers: Randy Griffitt of Clinton, Missouri, Donnie Griffitt of Clinton, Missouri, two sisters: Connie Russell (Jeff) of Oak Grove, Missouri, and Kristy Brzuchalski (Gary) of Clinton, Missouri, one sister-in-law, Debbie Jerome of Blairstown, Missouri, five nieces: Abbie, Jessica, Michelle, Chelsea and Madison, four nephews: Jesse, Fred, Taylor and Blake and numerous other family and friends.
