Lloyd Carroll, 90, was born in Soddy, Tennessee, to Jobe and Mary Carroll.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a beloved sister, Louise Smith, and his ex-wife and friend, Willa Dean Carroll.
He is survived by his two children, Myra (Larry) Reneau and Zerita (Brian) Brockman, two precious grandchildren, Zeb and Zoe Brockman, a niece, Alexis (Bobby) Jenkins, as well as other extended family members.
Lloyd graduated from Soddy Daisy High School in 1952. He continued to reside in Soddy Daisy throughout his life. Lloyd was a United States Army veteran and was once stationed in Germany at the same time as Elvis. He was a current member of Oak Street Baptist Church where he served in their Neighborhood Helpers Volunteer Ministry. This ministry brought him much joy and purpose and provided an opportunity to support the community.
For many years, Lloyd worked in the business machine industry, beginning as a service technician and eventually becoming service manager and part owner of A & A Business Machines. His unconditional kindness, technical expertise and management style led to his success and respect within the workplace. After retirement he continued to stay active as a paving estimator and heavy equipment operator.
Lloyd was skilled in a multitude of ways including automotive repair, construction, drafting, welding, woodworking and even sewing. He excelled at anything to which he set his mind. In addition to his abilities, he embodied many amazing characteristics. Not only was he intelligent, determined and hardworking, he was also wise, supportive and loving. However, he will most be remembered for his friendly nature. You would never see Lloyd without a smile!
