Lloyd John Neuharth

Lloyd John Neuharth was peacefully called home to eternal rest February 15, 2025 while surrounded by family at his home in Orting, WA. Lloyd was born in Tacoma to parents Lloyd & Margaret Neuharth on July 8, 1953. After graduating from Sultan High School in 1971, he received a degree in Political Science from the University of Washington in 1976 where his love for all things Purple, Gold and Huskies started (as well as his hate for the Ducks). After college he began a 30-year career in the Tire Sales Industry. Daughter Heather was born in 1978. He met the love of his life Renee, in 1992, and they settled in Enumclaw. Their family was combined to include everyone in-law & out-law. Once you became a part of Lloyd's family, you were always a part of Lloyd's family. August 12, 2002 Renee & Lloyd were married. 30 years after starting in the tire industry, he shifted to a position at Napa in Enumclaw. At the same time, he and Renee also dabbled in owning a small coffee stand. Eventually, continuing with his love of all things automotive, he went into business for himself selling Car Detailing Supplies all over the state. He and Renee eventually downsized and moved into a smaller home in Orting. Hard work was his way, but so was hard play. He was often found at Hot August Nights walking row after row of hot rods, or on the shores of Hanalei Bay soaking in the rays. Lloyd never met a stranger; everyone a friend. His kind eyes, a smirk that let you know he was ready to crack a joke, and the fact that he always had everything a person could ever need in his garage, won over everyone.
Lloyd is preceded in death by his mother Margaret Triplett, father Lloyd Neuharth, step-father Harley Triplett, son Joshua Adams, and loyal companions Buddy, Barkley, Stumpy and Eddie G.
He is survived by his wife and princess Renee Neuharth, parents-in-law Bob and Judy Duprie, brothers Willie Neuharth (Karen) and Wayne Triplett (Cathryn), sister Renee Neuharth, brother-in-law Rusty Duprie (Sarah), sister-in-law Sherry McPherson (Alan), daughters Heather Neuharth Day & Melinda Lundberg (Ryan), daughter-in-law Kylee Bergeron, sons Jordan Adams (Naomi) & Ryan Bottorff (Kody), Grandchildren Warren Day, Bradley Lloyd Day, Coral Adams (Logan), Caleb Adams, Delaney Adams, Dakota Adams, Hudson Richmond, Harlow Richmond, Hayden Long, Keelyn Long (Tyler), Logan Adams (Julia), Wiley Adams, Jules Harber, Morgan Bergeron, Hadley Bottorff and Harper Bottorff, loyal companions Rudy and Elvis, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends that had become family.
