Obituary for Youngsville Fireman Justin Lloyd
The son of Jennifer DeEtte Lloyd of Louisburg, NC passed away on Monday August 15, 2016. Justin brought laughter everywhere he went and his humor was unlike any. Even though his health declined over the past several years, he always had a positive outlook. Never a complainer, he always said he “felt good, can’t complain.”
Justin will be terribly missed by the people he knew so very well, but by those he knew through social media, because they were CF patients in other states or countries around the world. He was always comparing CF stories with them to see what medicines or techniques were being used in other places. He loved to research everything CF and to make sure he was getting whatever the newest and best treatments were available.
Being a volunteer fireman for the Youngsville Volunteer Fire Department, he was recently made an Honorary Lifetime Member of the YVFD. He loved being a part of the fire department and helping in the community.
Justin was also an avid animal lover. Animals of all kinds, but especially dogs. His Siberian Husky Luna is the pride of his heart. She is truly his best friend and he loved taking her everywhere with him so everyone could see how beautiful and smart she was.
Justin touched so many people with this kind words, sympathic understanding, and his positive attitude towards life. He was a member of Flat Rock Baptist Church and was active in the church and community when his health permitted. The family will be accepting friends and visitors at Justin’s home.
The family would like to thank everyone that visited, called, emailed, sent cards and/or food during the times when he was hospitalized over the past several years. Your continued love and support has meant the world to us and we ask for your continued prayers, and support in the coming days.
Predeceased by his mother, Jennifer Dette Lloyd, great-grandparents Haywood and Stella Wiggins and George Thomas Lloyd.
Survived by grandmother Ann Stacy Lloyd, aunt and uncle Mike and Janet White, cousins Shane and Kevin. Grandparents Tommie and Jennie Lloyd (mom and dad), uncles, Ricky Wiggins and Guy Wiggins and wife Debby, cousins Megan Wiggins, and Brandon Wiggins and wife Rebecca, cousin Ada.
A funeral service honoring his life will be held at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon August 18, 2016 at Flat Rock Baptist Church with Rev. Gary McNair officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Youngsville Fire Department P.O. Box 164 Youngsville, NC 27596 or to the Franklin County Humane Society P.O. Box 338 Youngsville, NC 27596.
