Lonnie Snow

from Kansas City KS. Katie B. Snow and Reverend Roosevelt Brown met baby boy on March

30, 1956. He grew up into the giant, teddy bear that was adventurous, hard working, witty and a

master of many trades. He made his mark not only in his family, but in his community as well.

He was called home on Thursday July 25, 2024 at the age of 68. He was surrounded by his

loving family and friends as he reunited with his oldest son Lonnie Painter, his mother Katie B.

Snow, his father Reverend Roosevelt Brown, mother-in-law Darlene Painter father-in-law Elvin

Painter, his sisters : Sally Snow, Geneva Snow and sister-in-law Bobbie Lavender and more of

our loved ones from our Nelson, Sauls, Ward and Guess family.

He lived his life loving on his family and friends and helped everyone! He graduated from

Wyandotte High School, home of the BULLDOGS!! Class of ‘74!! He was a man of immense

humor, wisdom, hard work and love for everyone, cherishing every moment spent with his loved

ones. His passions were driving dump trucks, carpentry, camping, fishing, traveling and

spending time with family and friends; always the life of the party. He enjoyed two wonderful

lifetimes being a full heart transplant, 19 year, survivor. He came back to us and continued on in

his purpose until he gave his all. His unwavering spirit will forever be remembered.
