Lonnie Stephen Coplin

Lonnie Stephen Coplin, of Steelville, MO, was born on Thursday, March 6, 1947, in Steelville, MO, to Floyd Bradford Coplin and Pearl Coplin, nee Beers.  He passed away on Monday, May 4, 2026, at Cuba Manor at the age of 79 years, 1 month and 28 days.

He attended school in Cherryville before proudly joining the United States Army at just 17 years old, serving his country honorably with courage and dedication.

For many years, Lonnie worked as a truck driver for JB Hunt, a career he truly enjoyed because it allowed him to travel and spend time on the open road. Outside of work, he found happiness in hunting and fishing, but above all, he cherished the peace and comfort of simply being at home.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd and Pearl Coplin; siblings, Donald (Betty) Coplin, Sr. and Virginia Conaway; brother-in-law, Gordon Jones.

Lonnie is survived by his siblings, Lester (Jean) Coplin of Steelville, MO, Herbert (Dody) Coplin, Janet Coplin and Irma Jones all of Pevely, MO, Lora (John) Eaton of Cuba, MO, Larry (Darlene) Coplin of Park Hills, MO and Homer Coplin of Maine; many  nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Following Lonnie's wishes, the family chose cremation as his final disposition.  No services will be held.

Arrangements under the direction of Hutson Funeral Home, Steelville, MO.
