Lugoff Burton was born on February 25, 1939, to the late Mary Butler and Charlie Burton. One of eight children, his charismatic personality flourished at a young age. As Lugoff grew older, he became a well-known and well-loved individual by all who knew him especially those in his hometown of Ridge Springs and later Wagener.He attended both Rich Hill Baptist Church and Oakey Springs Baptist.
