Kenneth Loyd

Kenneth Lee Loyd, Jr., 51, was born on January 8, 1962 in Denver, Colorado to Kenneth and Marilyn Loyd, and he left us too early on June 18, 2013.

At a young age he became interested in building, horses, motorcycles, hunting and fishing. He had an inquisitive mind and was always building "INVENTIONS!" Ken attended Hygiene Elementary school until the age of 12 when the family moved to Alaska.

Once in Alaska, Ken attended Wasilla Jr. and Sr. High Schools. When he became bored with school the teachers would have him tutor other students, which he truly enjoyed. He was always in trouble with the teachers because he didn't like to write down the work to finish the problems - he didn't see the need when he could do it faster in his mind and he had a photographic memory. He graduated from Wasilla High in 1980.

After graduating he worked with his Dad doing construction work. He also worked on the Valdez Oil Spill. Later he started his own construction company in Wasilla and then continued on when he moved to Florida with his own family.

He was married to Crystal for 20 years and together they raised 4 wonderful children.

He achieved all he accomplished in spite of the many physical challenges he overcame. Through all his challenges he never lost his sense of humor or love of life. During these times his faithful companion "Cocky" (his dog) was by his side.

He loved motorcycles, hunting, 4-wheeling, fishing, cooking and more than anything - spending time with his family.

Ken was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Loyd, Sr.; maternal and paternal grandparents; cousins; aunts and uncles.

He is survived by his former wife and best friend Crystal; children, Jaykob (Jolene), Kally, Katelynn , Kenneth James and grandchildren- Joe and Serenity all of Florida; his mother, Marilyn Loyd; sisters- Eva Kowalski (Phil) and Stacy Loyd; brother- David Loyd all of Big Lake, Alaska. Brother, John Loyd (Cindy) of Phoenix, Arizona. As well as many Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews and Cousins.
