Lloyd Van Guilder, 81, of Arlington, Texas, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 20, 2025. He was born on February 18, 1944, and lived a life marked by strength, loyalty, and a wonderful sense of humor that touched everyone close enough to see it.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 61 years, Judy Van Guilder; his daughter, Tammy; and his son, Todd. Left to cherish his memory are his children, Teresa, Jamie and Keith as well as many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will carry his spirit forward in their hearts.
Known for his strength and steady presence, he was the kind of man people could always count on. His humor brought joy to family gatherings, and his loyalty to those he loved was unwavering. Whether it was sharing a laugh, lending a helping hand, or simply being there when needed most, he will be remembered as the heart of his family.
