Lonnie Dorsey, 72, tragically passed away on Sunday after being hospitalized last month due to a bee attack in North Richland Hills.
On September 24, he was mowing his lawn when bees from a tree swarmed and stung him repeatedly.
His partner, Patricia Byrns, tried to help but was also stung before a neighbor called 911.
Both were taken to the hospital, but despite initial signs of recovery, Dorsey succumbed to his injuries.
Byrns described him as a kind and gentle man, and the incident has deeply shocked their family.
