David Merle Lloyd, 82, of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, passed away on May 6, 2024. Born on December 28, 1941, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he was known for his love of golf and his sense of humor. He was affectionately called "Bubba" by his friends.

David's family meant everything to him and he loved attending family gatherings. David proudly served in the Navy from 1962-1968 and later graduated from Northeastern State College in 1970 with a Bachelor's of Science degree. His career as an employment counselor for the State of Oklahoma in the Tahlequah office spanned over 30 years.
David had a strong sense of civic duty and served as a Shriner, a 32nd-degree Mason, an American Legion vice-commander, and a reserve deputy along with coaching youth wrestling and baseball. He also enjoyed acting as a golf course Marshall at Cherokee Springs in Tahlequah.
