Loyd Ervin Scroggins was born July 19, 1926, in Adair, Oklahoma and entered into heaven's gates on December 19, 2014. Loyd was the second of nine children to William Leroy Scroggins and Ethel Laveda Robertson Scroggins. Loyd grew up in and around Wagoner, Oklahoma. At 17 years old he enlisted in the US Navy, serving in WWII on the aircraft carrier USS RANDOLPH from 1944-1946. After being discharged from the Navy, he enlisted in the US Army and served from 1946-1949 spending most of that time in Korea. In 1951 he married Virginia Ruth Hollon.

In 2009, Loyd came back to California to be closer to his family. He attended both Modesto Free Will Baptist Church and Calvary Chapel, Modesto.

It was always a blessing to me to hug "the other Loyd" at Seniors Bible Study. Now the two Loyds are together in heaven and we'll see them again someday. My prayers are with all the family. Words can't even express how he will be missed.

So many special memories. My life has been touched by knowing him. I imagine he has already climbed into the lap of the master and kissed the face of God. You will be missed but we indeed celebrate with you today. Can I get a strawberry shake? Two straws please.

Loyd his wife Virginia and their family have been one of God's greatest gifts to our family. No Pastor could ask for a more loving and helpful family to partner with in ministry.
Hospitality was only one of their spiritual gifts and they exercised it lovingly and freely. Their home was open to our family from the first of our ministry at Village Chapel until the time I visited with Loyd at his mobile home in Oklahoma.
Virginia and Glenda were two of the best Sunday School teachers I have ever known. Under their leadership the Children's ministry experienced much growth during my years as their pastor.
Many thanks for all the love and encouragement you the family of Loyd and Virginia Scroggins have been and are to us.
I will always be grateful for your ministry to our family and the Church.

A city on a hill cannot be hidden. The light of Christ shone through Loyd like a beacon- attracting all who knew Loyd to His Savior, Jesus Christ. The world is a little darker now that he is gone. He will be missed, but grateful for the gift of knowing we will get to see him again in heaven.
