He was born in Wagner, S.D. and raised in Chadron, Neb. by Don and Audrey Eitemiller.
In his early years he worked for the family business, Eitemiller Oil Company. He graduated from Chadron High School and was an All-American football player.

He was loved as Santa Claus to thousands of children in District #70 in Pueblo. He was admired for his declaration of faith. He was an elder of his church, spent countless hours in prison ministry, was an active Gideon and sang in his church choirs. After retiring he was asked to teach at the Florence, Colo. Federal Prison. His positive attitude helped many prisoners. He was also a member of the Toastmasters.
Lloyd enjoyed being a part of the Barbershop singers in Sun City West, Ariz. and Pueblo, Colo. He will always be remembered by his friends and family as a man that loved his family and friends. His 'corny' jokes always put a smile on everyone's face.

Cousins don’t always get to know each other as well as they should. Reading about Lloyd and his passion for the spiritual needs of others, his love of song and good humor makes me feel a closer kinship.
We were saddened to learn about Lloyd\’s passing. His was a life filled with faith, love, kindness, and laughter and he will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Donna, Susan and family,
Our hearts are heavy with the loss of Lloyd. He was a wonderful man–man of God–great Christian role model–one who loved his family.
We have many fond memories of times when we shared our extended church family at Central Christian. We have missed you since you left Pueblo.
We send our love, prayers and sympathy. Annette & Richard
Donna: My sincere condolences. Lloyd was a good man and will be missed. But find joy in knowing that he has entered the kingdom of eternal life and lives on. I’m certain Joe has greeted him (as well as all his many other friends who have already left this earthly plain.) Be good to yourself and have trust and faith.
Dear Donna, Susan, and David,
It is with heavy heart that I read of Lloyd’s passing. He was a friend and classmate from the time we were in kindergarten until our Class Reunion you attended.
His testimony to our Lord and Savior was always evident and his service to others memorable.
May our Lord give you great peace and comfort.
Love and Blessings,
Harla Jean
Donna and Family,
Thoughts and memories pour over me…the years of bridge clubs, neighborhood events, and Mom’s special fondness for all of you. Prayers and sincere wishes are being sent.
Dear Donna and family;
We are so sad to hear about the passing of Lloyd. Our deepest sympathy in your time of sorrow. We send our prayers to each of you.
Always,
Dan & Judy
Dear Donna , Susan and family..
Al and I would like to send our sympathy, thoughts and prayers to you in the loss of Lloyd , Friend and classmate of Lois.
We have so many fun and wonderful memories of Lloyd. He was a dear classmate that we all loved and had fun with at Chadron HIgh School in Nebraska and at the reunions that Lois’ class had through the years. Both Al and I have so much fun remembering the fun times we had with Lloyd, Donna and the other classmates.
We are so pleased that he knew the Lord, and thus we shall all be together in Heaven .
Donna we send our love and appreciation for you and the way you have cared for Lloyd and others. May the Lord be your deep comfort and peace in the days to come. God promised to never leave us or forsake us. Our love and prayers, Al and Lois
Old Normandy Circle neighbors remember your family with great fondness. Lloyd was such a fun guy. We remember a wonderful New Year’s brunch at your home. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. If in Pueblo, you must view your old home on Normandy. Donna, you would love the kitchen update. Our love to all of you!

I was sorry to hear about Lloyd’s passing. I worked with him in District 70 and always thought he was a kind person that the students enjoyed being with. I hope that your memories will comfort you now and in the months ahead.

Please know that we are thinking of all of you during this very difficult time. We loved Lloyd’s wonderful, loving personality – especially his jokes. He was a very, very dear person and we are forever thankful he was such an important part of our lives. God Bless you all.
