Obituary Notice

Lonnie Ray Bingaman, aka “Ray J” aka “little man” was born September 20th 2011 and went to fly high with Aunt Jessy on December 4, 2018.  

Ray J is lived on thru his parents, Caryle Hansen Bingaman and Lonnie Ray Bingaman Sr.; grandparents, John and Kim Cline; sisters, Susann and Shanna Bingaman; uncles, Wayne Hansen, Jonathon Hansen, and David Boggs; aunts, Amanda Gould, Luann Boggs, Tiffany Cline, and Tonya Cline, and a handful of cousins.

He was preceded in death by Jessica Gould, Donald Ray Hansen, Sr., Vernabell and Chet Bingaman, and uncle, Shea Michael Cline.

 Ray J was a very handsome young man. His smile was the light of my mornings.  He gave the tightest of hugs. He loved to push the limits and irritate his sisters, but was quite a ladies’ man. He could eat a whole pizza all to himself. He was a wonderful student and first grader at White Pigeon Elementary.

  3. While words may bring little comfort, and understanding is ever elusive, please know that our hearts broke as one with yours; as we each mourn your loss. My family sends love and prayers to yours. May there only be one set of footsteps in the sand during this trying time.

  6. I worked with Lonnie at Roosevelt school in Elkhart before he moved to Michigan. My heart is sad today. He was so smart and the sweetest kid. Such a hugger! We were so sad when he and his sisters moved away. I pray that God will give this family peace in this trying time.

  7. No one ever gets over the passing of their baby….I just am not sure there are words to console that pain. But you may catch moments of comfort. Comfort in knowing he isn’t alone where he is and that there is no fear. He has some of the best family members there to greet him and love him. While it doesn’t remove the huge emptiness you feel, know how much you are loved as well.
