Lloyd grew up in Eutaw, became an Eagle Scout, and was a 1966 graduate of Greene County High School where he played football and basketball.

Throughout his life, he was dedicated to his community, serving on the boards of Christ United Methodist Church, St. Luke’s Episcopal School, and the YMCA. He was an engaging speaker and storyteller, leaving a lasting impression on those he met.

Lloyd thoroughly enjoyed spending time at his duck camp in the Mobile River delta where he enjoyed duck hunting but mostly spending time with his friends. In the latter part of Lloyd’s life, he loved nothing more than watching his daughter Elizabeth play basketball. He was well known for being an enthusiastic parent and fan and excelled at coaching from the stands. He loved food, especially Uncle Buddy’s BBQ, family meals at Gamma’s, and Thanksgiving at Barbara’s, his sister. Another of Lloyd’s favorite pastimes was watching Alabama football. He was a passionate, loyal and loud fan, and never missed a game.

Lloyd was also an accomplished musician, learning to play the guitar at a young age, and played and sang at church and other venues in Eutaw, then later in a band in college. His favorite music group was The Circuit Riders. Lloyd would not miss a Circuit Riders performance at Christ United Methodist Church.

Lloyd was also a black belt in Tang Soo Do Karate, participating in many tournaments, obtaining several gold medals. Lloyd also taught Karate at the YMCA with Steve Diaz for many years.
