Following is what Lonnie's son posted on facebook today, 10/21/15:
Early this morning my father Lon Lovell lost his battle with cancer. He is now free of pain and is smiling down from heaven with his mother and father. Funeral services will be held at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, 9643 Ferndale Rd. Dallas TX 75238, on Monday October 26. There will be a Rosary at 9:30am followed by a funeral mass (approx 10am) and then burial at Restland. If you loved my Dad or he loved you, the whole Lovell family would love to see you there.

After high school, Lonnie attended Odessa College and played on the basketball team there for two years. He first was married to Deborah Sparks in Odessa in 1966. I had them both in my biology class the second semester of our freshman year. They divorced in 1972 in Odessa. I had left Odessa in 1967 to enter the Army and I came back for good in 1972 after I had finished college in May. I had run into his brother and he told me that Lonnie had been living in El Paso. I don't know who initiated the divorce proceedings but either Deborah or Lonnie or both had been living in Odessa in 1972. Since he is shown to have graduated UTEP in 1972, I suspect that Deborah initiated the divorce from Ector County. I would inquire about Lonnie at the OHS football games with his brother who had season tickets in the same area over the past 15 years are so. He told me that Lonnie was living in Dallas and doing well. The last time I talked with him was that Lonnie was ill and that all he said.
