Lonny James Orcutt was born January 28, 1965, in Cedar Rapids, to Tom and Fern (Raymon) Orcutt. He graduated from Jefferson High School. Lonny worked as a CPI Specialist at Dakota Red Corporation in Cedar Rapids. Lonny met Diana Larimer in 1992, and they were married September 5, 1998. He enjoyed camping, fishing, deer hunting, fixing things, and narrowing down his 'To Do' List. Lonny was an avid Iowa Hawkeyes fan. He enjoyed riding his Harley, and belonged to the Roughnecks Motorcycle Club. If he wasn't riding his motorcycle, he was listening to his eclectic collection of music including the Beatles and even Lady Gaga. Music was a major part of Lonny's life; he was lucky to be able to meet many musicians while working concerts at the Five Seasons Center. The most cherished part of Lonny's life was his family. He treasured spending time with them, and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and brothers, Jeff and Terry.
He wasn’t just our Road Captain, the leader of our rides. He wasn’t just our friend, he was a man who was always there for us no questions asked. He knew about what was important in life and loved his family, motorcycles, and his club. He was always willing to lend a hand or advice when others needed him. Most importantly to us he was our Brother, and we will miss him everyday until we see him again. Roughnecks forever, forever Roughnecks We ride together We die together Roughnecks MC CR IA Chapter Archangel Ducky Menace Junior No Fear Holy Diver Troll
