Lloyd James Stevens was born in Richfield, Lincoln, Idaho to Albert and Cecil May [Lewis] Stevens.
He was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints August 4, 1928.

Lloyd married Leona Mulford June 10, 1946.

A Naval Veteran of both World War II and the Korean War, Lloyd enlisted in March 1937 and retired in 1959. He served aboard the Portland CA-33, the Henry T. Allen APA-15 as a Signalman, and the Blue Ridge ACG-2 as Chief Quartermaster. He "...was at Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941; up the New Guinea Coast with MacArthur to the Philippines in '43/44; in Okinawa when the war ended; in Korea '51/52..." (His own words) Uncle Lloyd was a member of the Retired Enlisted Association and the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association.

Uncle Lloyd & Aunt Lee moved to Amarillo, Texas in 1995 from Sacramento, California, where the family had lived for many years. In Sacramento, he had tried farming, was a flight service specialist for the Federal Aviation Agency and later, a real estate broker, and member of the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce.
(I remember, as a young child, visiting someone on a farm way out past the oak tree scattered golden hills of California. My sister, Kathy, told me this was when Uncle Lloyd had a farm in Sacramento.) We also visited them later in their other home in Sacramento. I was very young, but I remember my cousins. I remember Uncle Lloyd as being out-going & gregarious and Aunt Lee as a little more soft-spoken. They were always really nice to us---they must have been patient people because I have 6 brothers & sisters and we ALL came together. (Once my parents were divorced, we never saw our Stevens relatives again.)

In Amarillo, it was time for retirement & relaxation.
Lloyd was preceded in death by Leona, his wife of 53 years, his parents, and four of his six brothers.
Survivors include one step-son, two sons, a daughter, seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and numerous cousins, nieces & nephews.

Services were held for Uncle Lloyd on September 5, 2000 at Schooler-Gordon Funeral Home on Bell Ave, Amarillo, TX with the Rev. Jeff Conway of Westminster Presbyterian Church officiating; burial in Memorial Park Cemetery.

It's really too bad that we lost touch with him and I offer my deepest condolences to my cousins Jim, Tammy, Barry, and Richard.

His siblings:
Lewis A. "L.A." Stevens
George Marvin Stevens
Jasper Cecil Stevens
Rex Mace Stevens
Wesley Perry Stevens
and John David Stevens
