Victor Leon Reames II

Victor “Lonnie” Leon Reames II, 80, of Arlington, Texas, passed away on April 26, 2026. Born in Fort Worth, Tx on October 11, 1945, Lonnie lived with a steady courage and a deep sense of purpose—qualities that guided him through life with quiet strength, enduring loyalty, and a faithful heart.

Lonnie was born to Victor Reames I and Charlotte Reames, and grew up alongside his older sister, Patricia Farnsworth. He earned his Bachelors of Science from Texas Christian University in 1968, a milestone he carried with pride throughout his life. At TCU, he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and The Frog Club, and his devotion to the Horned Frogs never waned; a dedicated fan of the TCU football team, he held season tickets for 50 years.

Lonnie spent many years working for Equitable Life Insurance Company before retiring and moving into his own practice as a private financial advisor. In his work, he was known for sound judgment and steady guidance—wisdom shaped by experience, and a devoted commitment to serving others with care and integrity.

In 1979, Lonnie met Ginger at a Colonial Golf Tournament, beginning a partnership rooted in devotion and steadfast love. They were married May 29, 1981 in Kerrville, Tx, and together they had three wonderful children—building a family life marked by loyalty, faith, and enduring presence.

Lonnie found joy in the simple satisfactions of home and the excitement of the game. He loved working in the yard and football, especially the Dallas Cowboys and TCU. He also carried an adventurous spirit into the wider world, traveling extensively and embracing the richness of places far beyond home.

A long time Docent for the San Antonio Zoo, Lonnie gave his time with generosity and purpose. Conservation of the Earth held a special place in his heart, reflecting a faithful stewardship and a lasting respect for the world he loved.

Victor is survived by his beloved Wife Ginger Reames, Sister; Patricia Farnsworth, Daughter; Robin Reames, Son; Brian Haigwood, 10 Grandchildren, and 10 Great-Grandchildren.
