Lonney J. Linebeck, 56, of Utica, passed away on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at Rome Memorial Hospital with his loving family by his side.

     Lonney was born in Utica on July 31, 1969, the son of John and Rosemary (Flanagan) Linebeck. He was raised in Utica and was a graduate of Proctor High School. An avid outdoorsman, Lonney found great enjoyment in hunting and fishing and cherished the time he spent in nature. Above all, his greatest source of happiness was his family and large circle of friends. Lonney was of the Protestant faith.

      Lonney is survived by his children: daughters, Crystal (Mike), Taylor (Ed), Tori, Lonnie, Hannah and Hunter; and sons Lonney, Jr., and Chevy. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren, Elora, Johanna, Jaydyn, Josiah, Javier, Josie, and Jovani, who brought him immense pride and joy. Also surviving are his sisters, Elisha (Mark) Zimdars-Doolen, Blythe (Lance) Cowley, and Kaya (Joe Blaise) Linebeck; his brother, John (Rodney Daniels) Linebeck; and several beloved nieces and nephews and friends too numerous to mention. In addition to his parents, John and Rosemary, Lonney was predeceased by his beloved niece, Jessica Lee Zimdars.

     In keeping with Lonney’s wishes, there will be no calling hours or funeral services. He will be laid to rest in Boonville Cemetery at the convenience of his family.
