Lonnie Monroe Luck Obituary
Another soldier has been called to his heavenly home. Lonnie Monroe Luck, 95, made a peaceful transition to join the Church Triumphant on August 15, 2021 at home surrounded by family.
Lonnie was born January 5, 1926 to the late William Colon Luck and Amanda Dunn Luck. He was a devoted husband, loving father and proud grandfather and great grandfather. He joined the Navy Seabees at 17 years old and served in the Pacific theater during WWII.
Lonnie was a talented singer and self-taught guitarist who left his family with many sweet musical memories. In his early days, he performed for live audiences around NC, and had a radio show for a time. His occupation was residential painting, but his skills were many; from building a house to building furniture -including a toy chest for each grandchild. There wasn’t much that he couldn’t do and he did it well. He will be remembered by his family for his integrity, his loyalty, his love of nature, and his love and dedication to his family. He loved to travel and enjoyed many trips out west with his wife.
Lonnie was a founding member of Middle Cross Baptist Church where he served as Deacon and Sunday School Teacher.
Lonnie married the love of his life, Mildred Thompson, and they enjoyed over 68 years together until her death. He was also preceded in death by a daughter Teresa Anne McKenzie, and a son, Larry Randall Luck, three brothers, Ed, Gurney, and Marvin Luck, and a sister, Vernie Reid.
He is survived by daughters, Judith Mueller and husband John of Seven Lakes, Pat Blake and husband Parks of Cameron, and a son, Andy Luck and wife Tricia of Burns, TN; nine grandchildren: Denise Tuttle; Robin (Seth) Hardison, Bobby (Crista) McKenzie, Brent (Carol) Tuttle, Josh Blake, Hannah (John) Bynum, Mike (Ashley) Blake, Joey Blake, and Caroline (Joel) Segall, son-in-law, Larry McKenzie, and daughter-in-law, Debbie Luck; seventeen great grandchildren and one great-great grandson.
The family gathered for a graveside service on September 10, 2021 at Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church, Rev. David Reynolds officiated. A celebration of life service will be held at a later date.
Memorials may be made to Middle Cross Baptist Church, PO Box 757, West End, NC 27376 or Multiple Sclerosis Society, 3101 Industrial Drive, Suite 210, Raleigh, NC 27609.
Services entrusted to Boles Funeral Home of Southern Pines.
