He is also survived by his parents, Carol and Brenda Lanoux, sister Susan (Paul), brother Brian (Kim) and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service to honor Lanoux will be held on Friday, February 21, at First Baptist Church of Orange Park, Fla. Visitation will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the service at 11 a.m. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
