Lloyd had a personality that was larger than life and was loved by many. His greatest joy was his family whom he loved dearly. He loved the Lord and made it his mission to share the gospel, especially with those struggling with addiction. He was a friend and mentor to many at First Fruits in Jerseyville, IL.
He loved hunting and fishing, especially in the company of his son and grandsons. Lloyd was a quick wit and always had a song or a story to tell which was usually followed by his contagious laugh that lit up a room. He was loving, and kind, and always willing to help someone in need.
