Lonny graduated from Orem High School and LDS Seminary in 1987. While at OHS he was the manager of the basketball team. He married Lisa Jasper on May 1, 1998 in the Mount Timpanogos Temple and together they built an amazing life. Lisa was his first love and his everything! Family was a close second and they attended pretty much everything they were invited to. He and Lisa loved to travel. Lonny also enjoyed watching all sports, playing golf, running, reading many types of books, watching videos and going to movies, plays and concerts. He was a BIG BYU and New York Yankees fan. He had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. He was a fan of “take out” food and his favorite dish was lasagna. Lonny was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and faithfully fulfilled every church calling he had.
