Loyd Orfield Obituary
Born on November 11, 1957, Loyd was a skilled diesel mechanic with an extraordinary talent for fixing anything that came his way. His technical expertise was matched only by his dedication and service in the military. Loyd's motto, "It's not broke until I say it's broke," perfectly captured his approach to life and work.
Loyd's unwavering commitment to his family and his work was an inspiration to all who knew him.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Donna, and his cherished daughters, Kellie and Emilie.
A celebration of Loyd's life and legacy will be held on October 6, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Hillside Gardens, 1006 S Institute Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80903. This will be a casual dress event. All who knew him are invited to join us in honoring his remarkable life and the lasting impact he made on those around him.
He will be deeply missed but forever remembered for his kindness, skills, and the love he so generously shared with his family and friends.
