Lloyd Joseph Ornelas

Lloyd was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by love, compassion, and unwavering faith in God. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him. We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Lloyd is survived by his three beautiful children Lloyd, Milani, and Naveen, his brother Lawrence, sister La-Rina, and sister Julia. Lloyd was the grandson of Arnold Molina Sr and Gloria Wyckoff. He also leaves behind aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews who adored him dearly. Among them are Lawrence Jr, Luciano, Abri, Nolani, Kiana, Marcelo, Lance, Elena , a host of cousins who shared in his joyful spirit, as well as many friends and extended family members who will miss him tremendously. Lloyd was predeceased by his mother Kathrynne Ornelas, his father Lawrence Ornelas Sr, and his brother Lance Ornelas.

Lloyd found joy in being outdoors and around his family. He was an entrepreneur who was passionate about his business ventures. He touched the hearts of those around him. His love for the outdoors reflected his adventurous and free spirit.

Those who knew Lloyd will remember him for his huge heart, infectious overwhelming laugh, his deep-rooted faith in the Lord, and his unwavering commitment to spreading love and kindness to everyone he encountered, especially his family. He had a rare gift for making others smile and laugh, leaving a lasting impact on all who crossed his path.
