Lloyd Dwight Littlejohn

Dwight was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force and served during the Vietnam War. Over the years, he built a hardworking career in welding and farming with companies such as Quintana Howell Petrochemical Corp., Farming, Repcon, and Gulf Coast Crane & Rigging. He was also a proud member of the South Texas Trail Riders.

Dwight was known for his wit, charm, and a dry sense of humor that made him unforgettable. He enjoyed shooting pool, drinking beer, barbecuing, gardening, hunting, and spending time with his family and grandkids. Some of his happiest moments were spent in the yard tossing a frisbee for his beloved dog, Ivy.

When it came to pool, Dwight liked to pretend he wasn’t much of a player—until real money hit the table. Then he’d quietly run the table and walk off with the winnings. You could say he had a little hustler in him. He also loved going out to eat, especially if someone else was paying. With a grin on his face, he was always slow to reach for his wallet.

Dwight had a collection of famous one-liners that everyone around him came to know by heart:

“What goes around comes around.”

“The sun don’t shine on a dog’s ass every day.”

“A fool and his money soon shall part.”

“Everybody wants to go to heaven, but not today!”

He made some of the best fried catfish and smoked brisket around, and he enjoyed every minute of cooking it. Dwight was a storyteller, a master jokester, and a man who moved at his own pace. He was most known for being a phenomenal pool player, a loving father and grandfather, driving his green ’78 Ford pickup or his ’96 Ford diesel, and for never—ever—breaking the speed limit. He drove 55 everywhere, no matter what.

Dwight is preceded in death by his parents, Winnie Mae and James "Jack" William Littlejohn; his sister, Helen "Bird" Osbourne; and his brother, Alfred Lee Littlejohn.

He is survived by his beloved girlfriend, Pat Tutor; his daughter, Cassie Marie Littlejohn (Taylor Wymer); his stepchildren, Michael Tutor (Ana Tutor), Wesley Tutor; his grandchildren, River Daniel Wymer, Rogue William Wymer, and Revel Marie Wymer.

Serving as pallbearers are Garland Calloway, Raymond Todd, T.L. Schubert, Gary Keys, Taylor Wymer, and Michael Tutor. Each gentleman is honored to fulfill this final duty in recognition of their respect and connection to Dwight.

We are deeply grateful to Crystal Davis and the most AMAZING nurse, AnnaLisa King from AADI Hospice for guiding our family through such a difficult time. Your compassion and care is unmatched. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Amanda Hickman for standing by my side, caring for Daddy with love, and providing strength and comfort to Pat and I. Your love will never be forgotten.
