Joseph Harold “Jimmy” Lloyd, Sr., 86, of Saraland, passed away Friday, June 3, 2016. Joseph was born in Mobile, AL. A true patriot from birth, Jimmy served with the United States army during the Korean War, and went on to retire from the Army National Guard, for whom he served for over forty years.

He volunteered much of his time to aiding the Meals on Wheels program, and volunteered with the Women’s Club of Saraland. Jimmy had a passion for the Lord. He was a member of Kushla Bethany Baptist church, and enjoyed Gospel music, making many trips to Branson on a tour bus for Gospel concerts. He was very loved and will be missed by all.
