Larry “LJ” Alan Lemons, Jr., 35, of Reidsville went to be with the Lord Monday May 6, 2024.
Born on January 23, 1989 in Asheboro, NC, LJ was the son of Larry Alan and Jean Owens Lemons. He was a graduate of Asheboro High School, where for four years he was a member of the Air Force Junior ROTC and received the Purple Heart Award (a leadership Award). He enjoyed playing baseball and soccer when he was younger and has always loved playing video games and taking things apart to see how they work. LJ went on to attend RCC where he received Welding and CNC Machinist Certificates and was a former employee of Kennametal in Asheboro, NC. LJ lived in Reidsville for the last 13 years of his life. He never met a stranger, and if you knew him, you loved him. LJ was immensely intelligent, hilarious, caring and a joy to be around. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents: Ernest and Polly Jacobs Owens.
Survivors include his Parents: Larry Alan and Jean Owens Lemons of the home. Sisters: Karla Holt (Marty) of Ramseur, NC, Lori Lemons of Reidsville, and April Lemons (Cat Crago) of Tucker, GA.
