Lloyd H. Higbie Jr.
(July 6, 1935 – July 4, 2025)
Lloyd passed away on Friday, July 4, 2025 at the age of 89.
He was predeceased by his parents, Florence and Lloyd H. Higbie Sr and nephew, Michael Merritt.
He is survived by his sister, June Merritt; his daughters, Cynthia (William) Barg and Lauren (Jeffrey) Dempsey; Grandchildren, Jenna (Jamie) Dempsey, Shannon (Lindsey) Shuman, Eric Dempsey and Trevor Barg; Niece, Lisa Lombardo, and many cousins and friends.
Lloyd served in the United States Army where he trained to be a sharpshooter.
He began his work career in outdoor residential construction as a plumber/pipefitter before embarking on a long-time career at Eastman Kodak Company. He was a dependable hardworking man.
Lloyd, commonly known as 'Hig' enjoyed being outdoors, camping, canoeing, backpacking, fishing and regular trips to the family camp in the Adirondacks.
He took pride in his yard and gardens, adding his special touch of creativity. He enjoyed woodworking and had many 'fix it' projects to keep him busy. He could fix just about anything!
As a person, he was always willing to help others. Always quick with a joke to bring on smiles. A caring, thoughtful and loving father.
The family will be celebrating his life at The Miller Funeral Home at 3325 Winton Rd S, Rochester NY 14623 on Friday July 25. Calling hours are from 4-6pm with a service at 6:00 in the chapel.
Final resting place will be in Christ Our Light Mausoleum at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery as a private family ceremony.
