So long ago...Lon Wayne was the brother, the friend I needed. Thank you, Lonnie
He was the son my Dad,Doug Partain, never had. 
 Thank you, Gracie, for being the woman  he loved and for being so much to him.
  Lonnie, I will love you for ever. 
  Rest in Christ.

Gracie and the rest of the family are in our prayers during this difficult time. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. Love,
The Ballinger and Benson family

When I think back on my early memories of family get-togethers with Uncle Lon, I can't keep from smiling.  Nobody could tell a story like him.   I could sit and listen to him all day.  All of his stories were exciting and funny. My first ride on a boat, my first ride in a Corvette, my first and only time of getting pulled out of Caney Creek at Sargent while crabbing - Uncle Lon.
He had a brilliant mind, a great sense of humor, and a giving and tender heart.  He has left a wonderful legacy of his life, his sons and their families, and grandchildren.   He has also touched a multitude of friends and family that can claim they are a little bit better person for having known him,  and loved him.
I know that he is rejoicing in heaven alongside other loved ones that have gone on before him. 
 He will surely be missed, but loving memories of him will always endure.

I always enjoyed talking with your dad , he was ole school and always said what was on his mind. He loved to talk about guns and deer hunting with me and knew I liked those subjects also . He was a very smart man that had a great passion for machines and inventing news ways to make things better. He will be missed!!    

Lon was admired and loved by my mother, Betty, and daddy, Arthur.  He was always supportive to them and likewise to me and the  of the lives of Gary and Steve.  I am blessed to have known him.  May he have Eternal Rest and Peace.  May you, Gracie also be at Peace.  Lon was Blessed to have you in his life.
