MR. BENNIE LLOYD STUCKEYwas born on October
25, 1957, to the late Mary Elizabeth Stuckey Malone and
Bethel Alphonse Darius in Bentonia, Mississippi. Lloyd,
as he was affectionately known, accepted Christ into his
life at an early age, where he joined Mt. Olive Baptist
Church under the late Reverend N.C. Taylor. He received
his education at Gibbs Elementary School and Bentonia
High School. He also attended Corps in Fort Worth, Texas.
Lloyd enjoyed playing sports and watching football and
basketball games, listening to all varieties of music, but
above all, he truly loved God and his family. Some might
say that “Bennie Lloyd” was a peacemaker because he just
wanted everyone to love each other and simply get
along in peace and harmony.
He gently passed away at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson,
MS on October 9, 2025
Bennie Lloyd was preceded in death by four siblings,
Mrs. Sharon Malone-Johnson, Mr. Terry L. Malone,
Mr. Michael G. Malone and Mr. Evette N. Malone, all of

He leaves to cherish his memories: one daughter,
Lakeitta Brown Gainwell; three grandchildren, Markesia
Brown, Markeius Johnson, Keelyn Green; two great-grandchildren,
Tristian Dior “Big Man” Johnson and Ahi
Kari Weatherspoon-Johnson, all of Jackson, Mississippi.
One daughter he reared with love, Ms. Sharice Lee of
Chicago, Illinois; one brother, Mr. Richard L. Sickey
(Andrea) of Bentonia; three sisters, Mrs. Trenedis R.
