December 30, 1953 – December 10, 2020
It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Lloyd, just shy of his 67th birthday. His memory will forever be cherished by his daughters Dana Jordan and Brittany (Tim) Fulton; grandchildren, Riley, Claire, Beau and Tucker. He is survived by his mother Annie, sisters June (Earl) Kraushar, Betty-Anne (Wes) McKee, Donna (Lynden) Krym; sister in law Dianna Fosty. He was predeceased by his wife of 41 years, Denice; father Murray; in-laws Ed and Lilly Borkowsky; and brother in law Richard Fosty.
Lloyd was born in Boissevain, Manitoba. He attended Brownlee School, a one room schoolhouse near the family home. Lloyd was the only son of 5 children. His sisters would dote on their big brother and he had them all wrapped around his finger. Lloyd’s hard work ethic was instilled at an early age on the farm by his parents, Annie and Murray.
After high school, Lloyd moved to the big city and attended Red River College and became a journeyman electrician. It was at this time, Lloyd met the love of his life, Denice. The two of them connected on a blind date set up by their very good friends. Lloyd and Denice married in the spring of 1978 and welcomed their daughter Dana a year later. Brittany followed in the fall of 1985, and the family was complete. Lloyd shared his passion for travelling while the girls were young. Family road trips through the USA and Canada; camping along the way. Lloyd loved to share stories around the campfire and make his girls laugh.
Lloyd was a dedicated electrician and enjoyed his 23 years at McCaine Electric. In 1998 he joined the University of Manitoba as the Assistant Manager of the Electrical Department. Lloyd retired in May of 2018. The relationships he formed while working, held a special place in Lloyd’s heart.
Lloyd was an incredibly hard worker. He loved to keep busy and could often be found in his yard, polishing his motorcycle and tinkering in his garage. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Harvesting at the family farms, shoveling the neighbours driveways, fixing cars or home renovations. No task was too big for LP!
His labour of love was caring for his wife, mother, daughters and his grandchildren. He showed his dedication daily, as being an advocate and caregiver for his wife, Denice. Lloyd had an incredibly big heart and was very involved in all aspects of his daughters’ lives. Lloyd supported Dana and Brittany, watched out for them, and would always send his daily ‘Dad’ check ins and reminders. Family meant everything to him. Pizza Fridays and hosting Sunday suppers were his favourite weekend events.
His heart grew with the arrival of his four grandchildren. Lloyd was the baby whisperer. He would carry all his grandbabies around until they fell asleep, played with them on the floor and knew exactly what each of them needed. He shared his wealth of knowledge with Riley, cheered Claire on in her sporting activities, numerous playground trips with Beau and making Tucker giggle. Grandpa was their guy and brightened up their worlds. Dad, we miss you dearly, but your love will outlive us all.

Dana, Brittany and families, please know that we share in the loss of your dad and we too will miss him. He always came across as a gentleman, and had a caring nature. He was a great listener and conversationalist, and he would always talk very proudly of his family, and even more so when he spoke of your families, which was obviously his favorite topic. We are sorry for your loss, and unfortunately can only express words at this time, so our hope is that you will find comfort in knowing that your dad was loved respected by many. Love Jackie and Tim Smyrski.

Dear Cousins,
We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Lloyd, a son, brother, father and grandfather. I know you are all supporting each other at this difficult time. While we lived so far away and our visits were years apart, we shared the honour of being the only boys in our families. I have very vivid memories of him showing me the farm and animals, how to hunt gophers, and floating down the Souris River. He was very tall and straight and I aspired to be like him. Even during our last visit he took the time to show us the sites of Winnipeg and hosted a dinner at his home were I was able to meet his beautiful family. I will miss him. My family sends our Love.

It was really sad to hear that Lloyd is no longer with us and gone with the Lord God. We lost a good man and heaven gained. Lloyd was a very calm person, approachable and helpful person at work in University of Manitoba. Lloyd was a kind and nice man who always had good remarks when ever I saw him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Dana and Brittany and your families.
