Lon Garrison Huttleston, 39, of Johnson City, New York passed away unexpectedly after several years of battling multiple health issues including C.O.P.D. in his home on December 18, 2016. Lon was born on March 17, 1977 in Binghamton, New York. Lon attended Johnson City High School, where he was very involved in the J.V. and varsity wrestling program. As an adolescent, Lon was known for his love of BMX bikes, skate boards, tie-dyes and possessing an insatiable curiosity. Lon was a proud partner in business with his long time friend, Mike Wilcox at L&M Electric of Johnson City, New York. Lon's personality was infectious. He was a kind soul filled with love, humor and determination. He could always make you laugh and was a prankster of unmatched ability. His pride and joy in life were his children. He was often boasting of their personal accomplishments in school, extra curricular activities and of their dashing good looks. Lon was delighted by many things in his free time. He was a volunteer at the Grippen BMX track in Endicott, N.Y., loved listening to all types of music, attending concerts and festivals, enjoyed hunting and fishing and was always cooking up a great meal or grilling for friends over his hand-built chicken pit.

The greatness of their movement is just as small as it is grand." - Bob Weir, Walk in the Sunshine Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to you. Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it's been. Jerry Garcia Rock on Lon!! With Much Love from Family and Friends
