Farewell to Lonnie: A Loving Dad & Fisherman By Lonnie Addison

Dear family & friends,

We are celebrating the life of our dad ( Lonnie Addison Sr. also known as Big L ) we are fundraising for our father who recently passed away. This loss has been deeply painful for my family. He was a hardworking, loving man who gave everything to make sure we were okay. Our dad loved to fish and was great at it. People would ask him all the time about fishing and he can answer any question such as where to go, what bait to use, when to go etc… and he usually would be spot on. He also was a great cook that can cook just about anything but was known for his signature Dirty Rice, Guacamole, and Barbeque Sauce! Pops was a mans man who has always been in our life. Him and our mom were together 43 years remaining a couple up until his passing. Not only was he a great dad, he was a great husband, grandpa, brother, cousin, uncle and friend! We all going to miss the knowledge and wisdom he provided and his loud unique loud. He was a joy to be around, his presence was unmatched and his absence will be felt

Unfortunately, we were not financially prepared for the costs that come with funeral arrangements, memorial services, and other related expenses. We’re asking for any support, no matter how small, to help us give him the respectful and dignified farewell he deserves.

Thank you for reading, sharing, or donating. Your kindness means more than you know.

❤️ Rest in peace, BIG L (Pops). Your going to be truly missed! We love you forever.

Let’s honor him the right way.
