Lonnie Ryan Spicer

Lonnie Ryan Spicer, 55, of Rogers passed away on July 31, 2025, in his home in Rogers, Aransas. He was born on November 4, 1969, in Kansas City, Kansas, to Donald Reggie Spicer and Connie Sue Fuller Spicer.

Lonnie spent his early childhood in Leon, Iowa, and moved to Northwest Arkansas with his family in 1977.

He also loved travel, reading (with Stephen King as his favorite author), music (Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, also known as RCPM, was his favorite band), and movies. Lonnie was known for his quick wit and enjoyed making people laugh.

He was community-minded, often volunteering his time and regularly donating blood.
