He also leaves behind 18 nieces and nephews and a best-friend, Tony and Noelle Marsh who will forever cherish his love and memory.

 Lloyd lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service to others. He had a deep love for music, which he used as a gift from God throughout his life. He played in the bands Leatherwings and Living Proof and later dedicated his musical talents to worship at Kellytown Baptist Church in Hartsville, South Carolina, where he joyfully served and shared his love of the Lord. He also honored God through his craftsmanship and work ethic. Lloyd founded Country Hicks Woodworks, LLC, where he became known as a master craftsman, using his God-given skills to create with excellence, pride, and purpose.

 Lloyd also found joy in the simple blessings of life—his family, woodworking, motorcycle riding, grilling and whipping it up in the kitchen and the love and companionship of his beloved pets: his dogs Princess and Monkey, and his cats. Nelson, Stevie, Peeps, Lucy, and Linus. Lloyd will be remembered for his faith in Christ, his love for his family, his heart for worship through music at Kellytown Baptist Church, and the work of his hands. His life was a testimony of devotion, and his memory will continue to live on in all who were blessed to know him. “Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23
