LOVE DURING LOCKUP Asonta funeral photos
Friends and family of Love During Lockup star Lacitrus Asonta Gholston said goodbye over the weekend with a funeral service in his hometown of Toccoa, Georgia.
Raneka shared a photo of the program for Asonta’s Celebration of Life held on Sunday, September 1. The program reveals that Asonta’s service was officiated by Reverend Charles White with a eulogy by Apostle Benny Williams.
Photos from outside the First Baptist Church of Toccoa reveal the large number of people in attendance:
Asonta’s casket was transported from the church to the cemetery in a white horse-drawn hearse with glass walls:
Asonta’s pregnant girlfriend, Alexis, shared a photo in front of the hearse and casket. Alexis, who is wearing a bright red dress in the photo, is approximately five months pregnant with a boy she plans on naming Kash. She captioned the photo by writing “Kash Parents” along with a broken heart emoji.
UPDATE – Raneka also shared a photo standing in front of the hearse, as well as a collection of video clips from the funeral and burial. She was wearing all white, and she added messages about Asonta’s passing in the captions:
Asonta was laid to rest at Toccoa City Cemetery.
After the service and burial, Raneka shared a photo of herself wearing a shirt featuring the last photo posted by Asonta on Facebook before his passing. It’s a picture of him holding a small goat. Asonta captioned the photo by writing: “If they not hating you not doin sum right #🐐”
