Celebrate the Life of Justin Lonas: Funeral Fund

On Friday, October 6, 2023, our beloved Justin Edward Lonas passed away unexpectedly at the age of 39. We are devastated by this loss and we want to come together as a community to support his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Justin, born on April 15, 1984, in Athens, Ohio, was a remarkable individual with a passion for the paranormal and the supernatural. He was an avid fan of Dungeons and Dragons, a game that allowed his creativity to flourish. Music was another of Justin's passions, and he cherished every opportunity to sing his heart out. We all remember him fondly singing "Carry on Wayward Son."

Justin leaves behind a loving family, including his wife of 12 years, Amanda Ruhlman Lonas, and their young son, Damon. He was a cherished son to Anthony (Julie) Lonas and Shirley Elkins-Nieto and a beloved sibling to three brothers - Effy (Elizabeth) Lonas, Cory (Sheila) Lonas, and Michael (Savannah) Rodriguez - as well as a sister, Hannah (Jeremy) Lonas. His parents-in-law, Gary and Kathy Ruhlman, were also an integral part of his life, sharing their love and support.

Justin was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Ed Lonas and Joy Boals, and his uncle, Derick Boals. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

As we come to terms with the sudden loss of Justin, we ask for your support in covering the expenses related to his funeral services. The financial burden of funeral and memorial costs is an additional strain on an already grieving family, and any contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference.
