Lloyd, or “Lloydo” as his friends and family knew him, had an avid love for TCU Football. Lloydo never missed a game or a tailgate, and some of his happiest memories were competing on the grind iron and watching from the stands with the purple faithful.
During his Title career, Lloydo was well known for his larger than life personality and the passion he brought to the industry for more than 40 years. The life-long friendships he made were some of his most cherished.
Lloydo led a happy life, filled with family and friends. He was the life of the party and never missed an opportunity to hit the dance floor. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and he will be forever missed.
