Lonterio Allison was born on July 26, 1981, in Carthage to Larry and Dorothy Allison. He attended Carthage High School where he played basketball "like a pro" well, that's what he said. He could rap with the best of the best. Tiny had a real love for fishing and as a child he never missed a fishing trip with his Grandmother, Mama Lue. As an adult, he remembered everything she taught him. To know Tiny was to love him, he would make you laugh on your worse day. Tiny loved listening to all types of music, laughing, being with his family, and having fun with friends. Tiny was employed with Black Cypress Oil Field and did a tremendous job. He also worked at Sonic in Greenwood, LA., just to pass the time. He was an even better handy man. You name it and he could fix it. Tiny touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity and maintained his trademark sense of humor all the way to the end.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Elijah and Essie Allison and Leron and Lue Ollie Allison and brother, Kendrick Dewayne Allison.
Tiny is survived by his parents, Larry and Dorothy Allison; brothers, Larry "Cookie" Allison, Larry Allison, Tyrone Allison, Anthony Allison, Chadwick Davis, and Brandon Davis; and numerous family and friends that truly cared for him.
Pallbearers are Chris Nealy, Cookie Allison, Tyke Williams, Jerry Jeter, Cardrean Williams, and Marcus Walker.
Honorary pallbearers are Larry "Cookie" Allison, Tyrone Allison, Chadwick Davis, Larry Allison, Anthony Allison, and Brandon Davis.
