His interests included his family, whom he loved and cared for deeply, Jeep 4X4 off-roading, mud racing, fireworks, and his Pomeranians. Lloyd was a huge fan of Notre Dame Football and working on cars with his nephews. He devoted much of his time and energy to family members, helping with everything they needed.
Lloyd is survived by his mother, Karen Lorenz; sisters, Teresa (John Knox) and Roberta (Tammy); nephews, John and Jeff Knox; niece, Mady Lorenz (Yency); grandmother, Alice; and uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Lorenz and his grandparents, Conrad “Tiny” Weaver and John and Helen Maxine Lorenz.

Bill and I were saddened to hear of Lloyd's passing. I remember a picture I have of Lloyd, Chris and Brian eating apples in our front yard. They had such good times together. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I feel blessed to have gotten the chance to have worked with Lloyd, he certainly made the job enjoyable and never complained about ANYTHING! He had a great attitude and his heart was huge! He is certainly missed!!! I know this is hard, and there are not words at this time that can ease the pain of the loss, but know, if there is anything I can do, I will do it! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Bert, Tammy & Karen-
It has been a long time since we have talked. But my heart goes out to you and you family at this very sad time. You have always been and always will be very dear friends of mine. I know I have no words of comfort, but if you ever need to talk I will always be here. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and may time ease your pain.

Karen and Family, I felt I needed to say something to you, but the words come very difficult to say. Lloyd was such a wonderful man, so caring and loving. I know there is nothing I can say to lift your hearts, it's just not possible. Karen, I love you and I know if you need to talk, I'll be there for you at any time. Just like before. Loosing a child, no matter how old is the hardest thing in the world to go through. Maybe our boys can now get to know each other. I'm sure they will take over the dog heaven. Angels be with you and your family.

As we all struggle with the loss of Lloyd, I can't imagine how his family must feel. We only knew him for a year, but in that year he managed to enter our hearts completely. For someone so quiet, he certainly made a huge bang! We will remember his quiet demeaner, his "will do" attitude and his huge grin! What an incredible person we have lost. Rest in peace, Lloyd. We love you.

To Roberta and family--it filled me with sadness to hear about the loss of Lloyd. Even though I didn't know him well , it was easy to see his kindness and goodness on the few occasions we spoke. He not only mowed my lawn but did many 'extras' that were not required of him.My prayers are with you all.

To all of us who knew and loved Lloyd: What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. Your life gave us many, many memories, too beautiful to forget.

I wish there were words that I could say that would make your heartache go away. Lloyd was a big teddy bear with a heart of gold who will be missed. My heart goes out to your family and hope that you can someday find peace again. God bless.
