David Richard Lloyd Jr.

David Richard Lloyd, Jr. of Cary North Carolina, age 52, passed away Tuesday night July 25, 2023, surrounded by his family. David is survived by his wife Kristan Lloyd, his children Landon and Kyley Lloyd, and his faithful companion Gidgit the dog. He is also survived by his father David Lloyd, Sr, wife Anne Lloyd, his mother Donna Clayton Lloyd, his brother Scott Lloyd, wife Marya, along with two nieces Audrey and Sydney Lloyd, his sister-in-law Kate Cabral, husband Stephen and his nephew Jackson, along with other loving family members.

David Lloyd was born in Fayetteville, NC, excelled in school, graduating with honors from Terry Sanford High School, and going on to graduate with honors from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. David worked for more than a decade at SAS Institute in Cary, NC, and then successfully started and ran his own business Mogul Media Systems for more than a decade, before joining the MTM Services team to help Healthcare providers deliver better care to their clients.

David was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) in October 2017. David beat the odds with his long fight against ALS, and that fight along with who he was as a person inspired so many people. That inspiration led those on the Racing for ALS team to raise over 1.1 million dollars since June of 2018 in his honor to help fund the fight against ALS, and to help others battling this disease. That is who David was. He always had a kind word and a wave no matter how he was feeling, or of course a good joke. David loved being able to help others, and David was truly overwhelmed and beyond appreciative of the love shown to him by those who rallied around him and were just an amazing support to him. Even though a thank you doesn’t seem to suffice, the family says “thank you” again to all who have been a part of this journey and helped David in his fight to #endals.

A celebration of life was held Saturday, August 5, 2023, at 1:00 pm at Brown-Wynne, 200 SE Maynard Road, Cary, NC, 27511. A video link can be found below under DONATIONS.

In lieu of flowers, we have set up a memorial donation page in his honor (The link is at the top of the homepage for www.racingforals.com) that will go 100% to ALS-TDI, the Duke ALS Clinic, and the Racing for ALS Patient Assistance funds in his honor. Or feel free to donate to the ALS charity of your choice to help in the fight to #EndALS.

Thanks to everyone for sending so many kind messages, thoughts, and prayers over these last few days honoring David. He is racing today, he is free, he hurts no more. Thanks be to God.
