Lloyd Clinton Roberts of Estill County took his last breath on December 31st, 2019 at 89 years young. He was surrounded by family in a room full of love.

Lloyd was born in Leighton, Kentucky on April 10th, 1930. He graduated from Estill County High School in 1949. After high school, he joined the United States army air core and later the United States Air Force in 1949. He served 22 years’ active duty in various locations all over the world.

Including working for Carhartt and managing the Kentucky Fried Chicken. Several years later Lloyd returned to work for the United States Government at the Avon Army Depot, where he retired after eight years of service.

Lloyd was a loving Husband, Father, Brother, Papa, Uncle and Friend. He was a man of strong faith and was a devoted member of his church, South Irvine Christian, where he was an elder. He was a member of the Irvine Kiwanis Club, and a Kentucky Colonel. Lloyd could talk to anyone and enjoyed long conversation and just being around people. He was a friend to anyone and everyone. Lloyd loved music and singing, many of us will always remember his constant humming and whistling as he went about his day, just like his father.
