Lloyd was the funniest man I ever knew. I met Lloyd in the 70's and he had his hair down to his butt. He was also my brother-in-law for a short time. We remained friends and had great fun together. He was so talented with his hands as he could build anything with wood. I will miss him forever. My heart goes out to Jackson and Cherry. Love to his family and friends. Jan

Lloyd was a friend of ours many years ago and we have followed his recent illness through mutual friends in Austin. Our hearts went out to Lloyd and his family during this most difficult path they've had to travel. Lloyd was an inspiration and a testament to living a joyful life. His humor, creativity, strength, and devotion to family and friends are qualities we all should practice in his memory. The tragic end to this wonderful man's life reminds us that we are fragile beings and to...

LLoyd was my mentor, though he hated me calling him that. Maybe because I'm a slacker. He got me into woodworking and he gave me the most solid foundation from which to work. He never, ever ceased to amaze me with his craftiness and flair. He found a piece of mesquite too small to build anything major, so embedded it into his front door as the San Jacinto Monument. His whole house is art. I miss him.

Although I haven't seen or talked to Lloyd in probably 10 years or more, my heart broke to hear what happened. I knew him through a mutual friend(Linda Greenhow) and found him to be one of the most special people ever. He was indeed hilarious, intelligent and of course, talented. His enthusiasm for the things he loved was very contagious. I sincerely hope that his loving friends and family find peace in knowing that he's no longer suffering a life he wouldn't have wished on anyone.

Lloyd was our neighbor and friend, and we extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to the Yarbrough family. He was a great inspiration, encouragement and help to my husband Tim, also a woodworker. He will be greatly missed by the whole neighborhood, and everyone who knew him.

My condolences to Cherry Kugle and Jackson as well.

I met Lloyd, Kim and Jackson in not the best of times in their life. One day I remember not long ago helping Kim take Lloyd outside to fly his P-51 airplane kite, a kite that Kim bought him because he love Would War II airplains, it wasn't the best of days to fly kites but she keep on trying, i believe Lloyd had a good day that day.

When I think of Lloyd, two words come to mind. Laughter and Amazement. He was undoubtedly the funniest man I've ever known and the most amazingly talented. What a special human being. Thoughts of love go to Jackson and his family.
