Lloyd "Pops" Alan Anderson, 64, of Beloit, Wisconsin, passed away on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at University of Wisconsin Hospitals in Madison, Wisconsin.

Lloyd was born on Monday, January 9, 1961, in Beloit, the son of Amos R. and Rosebud Virginia (Eisenmann) Anderson. He grew up and attended schools in Beloit and graduated in 1979, from Beloit Memorial High School. Lloyd was previously married to the former Jeannette Lynn Wiler. Lloyd and Jeannette eventually decided that they should part ways but always remained friends and parents to their three children.

Lloyd worked as a tool and diemaker for many years at Header Tool & Die in Rockford, Illinois. He later worked for several years at Crabtree Auto Recycling in South Beloit, Illinois and also at Annon Auto Sales in Roscoe, Illinois.

Lloyd was an avid pool player. He could usually be found several nights a week playing at the Carom Room in Beloit. Every Sunday morning, he would have breakfast with his best friend Harvey. If Lloyd wasn't playing pool, he could be found spending time with his kids and grandkids or tending to his flower gardens at home.

Lloyd is survived by his children, Carmen Anderson, Corrie Anderson, and Matthew Lloyd Alan ((Kali Norman) Anderson; grandchildren, Devin, Ryelee, Amya, Na'Varion, Ari'Ana, A'Marion, Coby, and Skyanna; great-granddaughter, Z'Huri; siblings, Sharlene Anderson, Sharon Anderson, Margaret Anderson, Norma Ryan, and James Potter; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other relative, and friends. Lloyd was preceded in death by his father, Amos Anderson; mother, Virginia Musser; son, Christopher Anderson; sister, Melody Torrens; and best friends, Greg Wakenight, and Tony Dal Collo.
