In Memoriam

Erik A. "Lonnie" Lonvick

Eagle Scout Erik Alexander Lonvick, 18, was born on August 22, 2005 and passed away on March 3, 2024. due to an unexpected cardiac event caused by asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The family appreciates the staff members at Advent-Health GlenOaks and Lurie Children’s Hospital, who cared for Erik with skill and heart.

At Glenbard West High School, Erik was known and loved as Lonnie. A senior, he was proud to wear #77 as an offensive tackle for the school’s football team (the Hitters), and he was deciding where to go to college, after receiving several offers to play college football. Earlier this year, he earned Eagle Scout honors with Troop 45 after completing a trail markers project at Lambert Lake in Glen Ellyn. He was baptized, confirmed, and well loved at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Wheaton. Lonnie's smile, positive energy, and big laugh will be missed.
