Oldaker of Buckhannon, Zane A. Scott of Elkins, Michael Scott and wife, Kimberly, of Belington, Terra (Scott) Robinson and husband, JP, of Rock Cave, and Justin Scott of Tallmansville. His devotion to those he cared about was unwavering, and his memory will continue to be cherished by all who knew him.

Lonny’s life was full of adventure and passion. He had a knack for raising a little hell while remaining fiercely loyal to those close to him. His vibrant personality and enduring love for his family will ensure that he is remembered fondly. Lonny Junior Scott will be loved but never forgotten.
