Frederick Loyd Obituary
Frederick Allen Loyd could not survive the injuries he suffered as the victim of a head on collision Wednesday, November 4, 2020. The Ohio State Football team and traveling the world were his joys, music his passion. He sang with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra Chorus for 42 years, the Columbus Gay Men's Chorus recently and had been active in several local church choirs. He walked neighborhoods as a volunteer census taker in 2010, often worked early voting locations for the Democratic Party, volunteered at "Picnic with the Pops" and donated many gallons of blood to the Red Cross. He was a retired Catholic Priest, studied in Germany, earned two Masters Degrees in Liturgy and Celtic Catholicism and was chaplain at St Ann's Hospital for a decade. Preceded in death by his father Howard G. Loyd, mother Betty Loyd Fickell and brother Kenneth W. Loyd. He is survived by his sister, Jeannie Loyd (Adams) Lindberg. A memorial gathering is planned at 2PM Sunday, November 15 in the Coffman Park Pavilion, Dublin OH. Masks are required. Donations are suggested in his name to the Columbus Symphony Chorus.

Years on I still miss him and include him and his Mom in my rosary every day. He wasn't my Priest but he sure was my friend. One of the nicest, kindest souls I've ever known. His Mom too.

I am so saddened to learn this tragic news. Fred was a long time friend and regular member of the Carpe Diem String Quartet's audience. We enjoyed many fascinating conversations with him after every concert we performed. He was always a friendly face in the audience, with a sharp sense of humor. We will miss him. Rest in Peace, Fred.

Fr. Loyd, was one of the kindest and caring priest I have ever met, I work with him at St. Stephen the Martyr. He was there when my family needed him, his did one of the most amazing job at the funeral Masses of our two grandchildren, he came to the hospital at 11:00pm to baptize our granddaughter just before she died. Then he baptized our granddaughter, at church and he spoke with such compassion and care about the two grandchildren he had celebrated the funeral Masses of, and how happy this day was to celebrate the life of her. Thank you Fr. Loyd for being there with understanding and care. Rest in peace kind and gentle man.

Fred will be dearly missed. I will never forget his kindness and dedication to the world of music. I met Fred through work when he would volunteer for Picnic with the Pops. One of the best people I had the pleasure of work with and will always be grateful for what he did for our community.
