Mr. Lloyd was born in Columbus, GA, on March 24, 1959, to Jerry and Maryland Tharp Wooddell. He was a member of Abundant Life Fellowship Worship Center in Mauk, GA.

Before his retirement, he was employed with Chastain Properties in the maintenance department. He was preceded in death by his stepson, Toby Lawhorn.
