CSM Morant was an exceptional person and I couldn’t have asked for a better man to follow. He was professional and a true leader. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family. 

This great man was my command sergeant major while I was stationed at fort hood years back. He was tough, but he was also fair and compassionate. He was a leader and a mentor. I was very sorry to hear of his passing, I pray for peace and comfort for his family. He is missed by so many. 

This is an image of cousin Christopher with cousin Lloyd.  We have such a beautiful, large and loving family. 
Rest in peace LLoyd.

This picture was taken on our way to our cousin Karen's wedding.

Lloyd George Morant - the first of two children for his Mom - was born in Trelawney, Jamaica on August 12,1964. I was very fascinated with this child as he was the first grandchild for my mother in the home, and so I spent most of my time dressing him up and cuddling him. Lloyd was very special and loved. 

When his mother had to further her education and travel, he went to stay with his paternal grandparents. The love continued to flow from his grandma. I was always visiting him. Most times I would miss the bus stop, but I would always find my way to the house anyway. Lloyd, or Lloydie as he was affectionately called, was always happy with big smiles. It was funny to watch him pour his milk from the cup into the saucer and drink from it. I realized that it was his way of cooling the milk. As time went by, I would not just visit, but would take him out and have him spend time with the other members of our family. Eventually, he joined his Mom and brother in the USA. He and his brother bonded, and they were inseparable. 

Lloyd joined the US Army at a young age. He was very dedicated, so he excelled and served well. He loved his job with the Army and was dedicated to his family. Lloyd was very reserved. He suffered silently. He tried to make the best of every situation regardless of how detrimental it may have been. He was non-confrontational and sacrificed his right for peace. He wouldn't hurt a fly. I saw him angry just once, and that was when he was told that I'd been disrespected by someone who should have respected me, and he dealt with it… (continued).


(continued) ...Lloyd, we miss you! We wish we could have been there to take care of you during your time of need. Lloyd you called for water and nutrients and did not get any. Your Mom came but it was too late as she was travelling from too far. You were removed from her reach. You were still in your right mind when I prayed with you but you could only respond in groans as you had no strength and your mouth was dry. Jesus felt your pain and had to take you out of it. He will punish those who contributed to your suffering. He will bless those who tried to help you. You were truly a soldier. You are out of your earth suit but present with the Lord, as your life continues in the spirit. We miss you, but thanks be to God that you're in a better place. I know that we will see you again as it is a journey for us all. There is life after death and we choose where we spend the next life. Those who choose Jesus as Lord ѥ and Savior will join you in the New Jerusalem. Rest in peace son.

I am so proud to have read all the awesome things that were expressed about my cousin Lloyd who was a mentor to so many persons during his life on this earth. If lovely words and expressions could have brought him back to life he would have been alive today but a life well lived is worth remembering.  
With such fond  memories left behind,  I would like to thank all the persons who have given their support to his mother who nurtured him from inception up to his passing . I also want to thank everyone for their words of comfort to the family.
His life is gone but he will never be forgotten.
Rest In Peace Lloyd.
Fay
 

My dear brother lloydie,  I can't, find the words to say how much I will miss you.  You were such a warm and humble human  being. My friend's and I prayed constantly for your healing but the saviour had other plans. I am so happy to know that your heart was in the right place as it relates to your relationship with Christ 
We had a lengthy conversation last year ,when I  visited the United States and I had hoped I would be seeing you soon in Jamaica.  Take care my brother this is not good bye but till we meet. Love you.





My Battle Buddy and my Double Nickel (Class 55 Sergeants Major Academy) classmate. Man you will be truly missed my brother. The funny this is I told my wife I was going to look up Big Mo and see how is doing doing after retirement only to see his name on an obituary. God have a bigger plan for him now. To the family his work down is was completed and he’s looking down on all of now smiling. Rest in Heaven my Big Brother. 

May the beautiful hands of our Lord and Saviour hold you.  Cousin Lloyd, my very  tall, handsome and respectful cousin.  It is sad to see you go.  I always looked forward to reunite with family from abroad, as I'm in Canada.  I especially and prayerfully looked forward to your recovery and to see you and celebrate God's mercy.  God works in mysterious ways - but all turning out for good, but we don't always see it.  May God's blessings be with those who loved you, may God comfort those who comforted you.  I remembered when we emailed each other years ago and you referred to me as 'big up cousin'  I had no idea what that meant and never forgot that seemingly weird statement;  as I searched, I discovered it was respect!  Thank you for the impact you made in this world, we miss you.

I miss you so much and wish I could have been there to feed you and take care of you, but I am far away and live in Canada.  I remember Lloydie when he was small. I would check on him, his eyes were very bright and resembled his mothers.  I would always come to Kingston to visit him. I love you and miss you.  Now you are in the hands of the Lord.

I served with CSM Morant at 128th Avn Bde, Ft Eustis, VA.  A leader and mentor that will not be forgotten, thank you for you service.  My condolences and prayers to your family, rest easy. 

CSM Morant was a extremely outstanding leader and mentor. A great honor to serve with him, C co, 25th Aviation "Black Sheep".  I also talk with him at Ft. Drum Ny.
My deepest condolences to the family. Rest easy, CSM Morant!!

Rest in peace Lloyd. The Lord saw your hurt and pain. He knew you didn't deserve such anguish so he has placed you in his arms of peace and quiet rest.
You are gone from this earth but never will you be forgotten by us.  You are missed by all of your relatives. We know you were a man of peace and love. We know you are gone to a better place. 
I know Lloyd is dearly missed by his mom, Auntie Loris and his brother Dave even though his name was not mentioned. May the God of heaven be with his mom and brother in giving them the strength to battle this storm.
RIP Lloyd.

My condolences to the Family of CSM Morant you were great leader and mentor thank you for keeping me in line and pushing me to move forward with my career your words never fell on deaf ears. I remember you telling me in C 25AVN Hawaii how far you wanted to go in the Army and you mastered it. Thanks for teaching me how to shoot 3 Pointers miss you much rest easy my brother.

Rest in Peace Lloyd… "Double Nickle"
Lloyd and I met while we were students in the United States Sergeants Major Academy. We were 2 of 21 Aviation Sergeants Majors in Class 55. Even though Army Aviation is a small community most of us never met until we were students, but once we met we knew and counted on each other once we graduated, we became lifelong friends. Lloyd and I graduated early because our follow on units were about to deploy, this brought Lloyd and I closer.  I could not believe you had passed so early, but I know you are at peace. Condolences to all of your Family, they will be in my prayers....

Dear Lisa and Morant family,

Cynthia Ferguson & Family 

My heartfelt condolences to the family.  I knew CSM Morant for a very long time.  Since he was a SGT or a SSG.  It has been so long.  The last time I saw him was after I retired from the 25th AVN BDE in Hawaii.  I saw him in Taji, Iraq the last time 2005.  He was a great man, a friend, and a fellow NCO.  You will be missed CSM Morant.  You are in the Lord's arms now.  God bless you.

Condolence to the Family. A great individual and outstanding Soldier, RIP Loyd (Yardie)

This news absolutely broke my heart! A great man gone to soon! Condolences from Melisa and I and from everyone he touched. 


I had the pleasure of serving with CSM Morant in 1-4 AVN at Fort Hood, TX.   He was a great leader and mentor.  My prayers and condolences to your family.

A great person, and a solid, outstanding Soldier and leader who cared deeply and gave so much to his Soldiers, peers, and leaders. Will truly be missed. God Bless.

RIP to a great man and leader. CSM Morant was my First Sergeant with A co 1-10 in 2003 at FT Drum, Ny.  Everyday was a lesson on how to be the best I could be as a leader and a man thank for that life experience. My condolences go out to his family my god ease you pain and calm your hearts. 

This is definitely a devastating loss. I met CSM Morant in Korea in 1989. You green and new to the Army a group of NCOs, SGTs Donald Bankhead, Freddie Jackson, Anhalt, and Lloyd Morant took me under their wings and showed me the right path. We reconnected at Fort Eustis after I retired. We had some good conversations as he has always been a mentor, teacher, and friend. Rest In Heavenly Peace my friend. This world has lost a great man!! My prayers and condolences to the Morant family.

My deepest condolences to the family.  I served with many great men and women while in service,  but none as exceptional as CSM Morant. He was a great Soldier, the best NCO, senior or otherwise and my Brother.  He carried me when I needed it the most. God Speed Brother. Until we meet again.

I first met Lloyd at the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy in 2004 as he was a follow Aviation Sergeant Major. Lloyd and I became friends although we only served together at the Academy and Fort Eustis, it felt like we had known each forever and we would always ask the common question do you know this person or that person?. Whenever we would run into each we would always greet each with that what’s up Double Nickel which was our USASMA Class 55 Moto, we always enjoyed the time we spent together.  I remember the last time I spoke with Lloyd he was getting ready to retire and he talked about all the things he wanted to in retirement. But God had other plans for Lloyd as he was called home early. Lloyd was an exceptional Non Commission Officer, always the quite professional, loving husband, father and friend. My deepest condolences to your family, may you rest in peace my brother.


Someone so special (like Lloyd) can never be forgotten. we served as Platoon Sergeants together in Hawaii (C-25 AVIM). Great leader!!No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy.


we are very fortunate to have known a great man, husband, father, soldier and leader with compassion.  I first met Lloyd while serving with him while he was one of the best 15D maintainers.  His work like his life was exceptional in that he cared for all and to the degree of what he was doing whether it was in his soldiering skills, or his selfless service to others.
I will always remember his smile and kind words.  May you rest in peace and know that the Lord has gained an angel with mercy and kindness.

I first met CSM Morant in ‘93 when I reclassed to Aviation and he was the CH47 committee Instructor for the 15D course. After my Drill Sergeant duty in ‘08, I was assigned to his battalion as a PSG in D Co. When I was selected for MSG 6 months later, he saw enough potential in me and played a role in me being assigned to the HHC 1SG position as a frocked SFC(P). It was a steep learning curve in a complex unit but he provided the guidance and mentorship that enabled me to have a positive impact on the HHC Soldiers & NCOs. We met up again in ‘13 when I came back to Eustis as a 1SG and it seemed as if things just picked up where they left off with us. He always made time to engage in conversations and was always happy to see his old Soldiers/NCOs. You always maintained the standard and never let your rank or position dictate your personality. You’ll be greatly missed but always appreciated as a leader! My condolences to your family and may you Rest In Peace.

This is a hard one for me because I’ve known CSM Morant since our days in Korea in 1989-90. We were in the same company, we were both young SGT’s together we played on the company basketball team, stayed on the same floor in the barrack’s and hung out together. After leaving Korea we never got stationed together again but we have crossed paths a few times at Ft Eustis and the last time was when I was retiring from Ft Hood, TX in 2006 I ran to him unexpectedly coming out of the building and man it was good to see him, and I didn’t know he had made CSM, we had a good long conversation about our times we served together and playing basketball and yes he was a better player then I. Morant, I’m gonna miss you man, you have your wings now, rest in Peace my brother!

It is challenging to find the words to describe a person like CSM Morant. He was an exceptional leader and beautiful soul. He could make you question everything you may have done wrong just by looking at you (lol) all while mentoring you and never letting you fight anything on your own. 

I feel blessed to have had the honor of experiencing his leadership and mentoring in Fort Eustis, VA. I am also saddened that so many will not get that chance now. 

I hope your family finds peace in knowing that you left an everlasting positive impact in the lives of everyone who served alongside you. God bless you. Fly high ... high above the best.

Drill Sergeant Morant left a lasting impression on me in AIT in 1996 while I was as a brand new Soldier assigned to Charlie Company 1-222nd. He was firm but fair, had a great sense of humor, and was passionate about the Army.

Ever lurking, he kept a vigilant watch over all of us. I respected him and never got the chance to serve with him after AIT, but I have only heard positive things about him. A true professional and hero to many Soldiers over the past few decades. He will be surely missed. 

It was an honor serving with you in Kosovo and Fort Drum.  Thank you for the bits and pieces you gave me that contributed to my growth as a leader and person. I have never forgotten you and I never will. 

Wow, CSM Lloyd Morant and I served together in Hawaii assigned to  C/25 AVIM, 25th Avn Bde (Blacksheep). Back then he was one of my Platoon Sergeants where you would always find  DS Morant mentoring and taking care of Soldiers one of his passions. CSM Lloyd G. Morant you will truly best missed so rest in peace my friend.

June 15th 2005, I remember this day well because, well it’s my birthday. We had just got done loading the conex for our upcoming deployment back to Iraq. I went during lunch to help my wife take her car to have the transmission replaced. So she drops her car off and we leave. We got t-boned leaving the shop. My S-10 was totaled and I had to use my 71 F100 to go back to work because I had staff duty. So on duty this tall CSM walks in. Never met him before. I yell “At ease”. “Carry on” he says. He starts talking to me and and asking who I am and how my day is going. I told him about my day 🙄. He asked me if I needed to call for a replacement but I told him no. He asked again, but he actually said if I needed a break to let him know and he would cover from his office. I said no thank you CSM Morant. I truly appreciated that because I knew he was sincere with his comments and actions. He was truly a professional yet a very personal leader. He cared about all his Soldiers. I’m very thankful to have known him and to have served with him in two deployments 

CSM Morant, thank you for your service, leadership, mentorship, but mostly for your attention to just listen and talk to a Soldier when they needed to talk. 

Stead Fast and Loyal.

It warms my heart to read these beautiful comments about my cousin Lloyd. He was all that you said and so much more to his family. He will be greatly missed.  God Bless you all. 

I had the honor of serving under CSM Morant while stationed at Ft. Hood. 
He was as professional as they come and would help you in anyway he could. 

This was a great man, a great leader who taught me a lot while on Color Guard. Values he helped mould will stay with me forever. 

You will be missed by so many. 
Until Valhalla CSM. 

I had the honor of serving under CSM Llyod G. Morant's leadership at Fort Hood,TX in 1-4 ARB.  He was a leader that impacted many of us by simple allowing us to do our jobs by reinforcing us to do what was right all the time. He was very stern, impressionable, and honest leader during our deployment and at home.  His commitment to his subordinates was to bring us all home and despite a rought start  in  Kuwait he did just that. I would always run into him on the flightline on the hottest days during our deployment and he would always showed a vote of confidence in us. His guidance will be missed but his legacy will carry on in all of the souls that knew him best. We send our deepest respects and condolences to the Morant family. Thank you CSM Morant R.I.H.

CSM Morant and I were Drill Sergeants at 1/222 AVN Regt Fort Eustis, Va. He was an amazing role model for all of us and particular to all cadre and Soldiers. He will be miss. RIP Brother! V/r  Estevan Sotorosado

CSM Lloyd G. Morant...
I would be a fool not to mourn the passing of your light into the next world. Indeed, I am most grateful that such a man like you lived, and inspired me and others to be a humble servant of our Republic. 
You were there at a most critical and pivotal point in my career. And without your guidance I would’ve slipped into a selfish hole that I could not possible negotiate. But from those ruins you lifted me up and molded my efforts into the next chapter. Your friendship deepened my spirit for life , and for this, my Battle buddy, I will forever be grateful. I will cherish the memory and honor of calling you my friend and brother. 
When first, we met, I will never forget the question you asked me. SFC Craig, do you know what this organization needs? This organization, these leaders, they need to be “All In”. What does this mean to be “all in”? To my confidant, being all in meant believing in something bigger than ourselves, having faith, having the courage to fight everyday for what you are a part of. This is the legacy and honor that I was privileged to enjoy when I walked beside you in our time of service. I will see you soon my dear friend. But not yet. Until we meet again...

One of the finest NCO's I every worked with in C/25 AVN, Hawaii. 

It was an honor serving with CSM Morant at the Fort Eustis, Virginia NCO Academy.  I learned a lot from CSM Morant he always had more trust in me than I had in myself and he always pushed me to be better in everything I did. I will never forget as we both were close to retiring he took the time to sit down and talk to me about continuing my education and getting myself prepared to continue after serving in the military. That talk was a tremendous help in me finding the right path and going from no degree to a Bachelor's degree. I can not thank him enough for his guidance and inspiration as I am sure many will forever hold fond memories of their time with him. My deepest condolences to the family during this difficult time, Rest easy CSM Morant. 

I had the honor and the privilege of serving with CSM Morant in 1-4 ARB in Fort Hood TX. He was an outstanding leader, and he always kept me in line. He will be missed but never forgotten. My prayers and condolences go out to the family.

I had the pleasure of serving with CSM Morant at Fort Hood. He was and outstanding leader and mentor! He taught me lessons that went well beyond my military career. You will be missed CSM Morant!! God speed!!

I had the pleasure of serving with this great leader in 1-4 ARB.  CSM Morant, you have truly blessed this country with your leadership. Your presence will be missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I had the pleasure of serving w/CSM Morant in 1-4 AVN at Ft. Hood.  Nothing but respect for this great leader.  Rest easy CSM.  See you on the other side.

- lol at my exit ETS interview he told me-  “I’ve never- in my (X amount of years) of Soldiering-  met another more formidable, stubborn, and humble NCO as you- SGT Rodriguez- from day 1 of receiving the news that we were about to receive our first female in 1-4 D Co. (🙄 there were others- but not many serving as 15 R’s) -  i will say- (and yes he chuckled here of course ) despite a court martial, and everything that followed  in a combat situation) TACT WAS DEFINITELY  NOT SOMETHING  you learned very well BUT You definitely loved each and every one of your solders- LEAD THE WAY SGT RODRIGUEZ, and i wish you the best in life”. ~ hardest day ever in my life was shaking his hand, saluting for the very last time, and walking away~ i even got a big hug from him😢

CSM Morant Lloyd, was my mentor when I was in the military, I first met him in Hawaii as one of his soldiers, he turned my life around as we ended up at Fort Hood TX together and deployed to Camp Taiji  Iraq together twice. Later we ended up stationed at Fort Eustis Va. He was and inspiration and a great friend. He was a true leader! 

CSM Morant was one of the best leaders I had the pleasure of serving with during my career.  I spent sometime as his driver while he was the CSM at 1-4 ARB.  He was a fair and stern man, with a great sense of humor as well.  He will be greatly missed.

He was a good leader who cared for his soldiers. He had a positive impact in our lives. CSM Morant will be missed by all of us who had the honor of serving with him...

He was my battalion Sergeant Major on my first rotation to Iraq with 1-4ARB. He would always get on me about if my sideburns were too long. So as a joke I printed out the hair standard and carried it in my right shoulder pocket. And incase he asked me I had the sideburns portion highlighted lol. We had a good laugh after that. Rest easy SgtMjr. 

I had the pleasure of working under CSM Morants’ leadership for several years while stationed in the 1/4 AVN BN. 
My condolences to his family. 
#acknowledge

I had the honor and privilege to serve with this excellent man for 3 years.  Simply one of the best senior NCO's I have ever served with.  Thoughts and prayers are with the family.
