Andrew Joseph "AJ" Loyd

Andrew Joseph (AJ) Loyd, 33, of Spain Hill Road, Lascassas (formerly of Greeneville), passed away Saturday, June 12, 2021, in Austin, Texas where he was working out of town for his employer, Hampton Crane Services.

With a million-dollar smile, and a heart of gold, he lit up any room and would give those he cared about his last dollar. AJ was extremely devoted to his boys, family, friends and co-workers and did not meet a stranger. He was an adventurous young man who adored children and they were drawn to him since he was a ‘big kid at heart’ himself. He LOVED teaching his two sons how to work hard, about life or how to golf, ride dirt bikes, play basketball or cook a meal, but mostly, he enjoyed ‘biting their armpits’ and cuddle time with the both of them.

AJ’s survivors include his two boys: Hayden and Chance Loyd, both of Lebanon; his parents: Clay Lloyd and Lora Reagan, both of Lascassas; sister: Rachael Chandley; grandparents: Faye & Vernie Trantham, and Linda Reagan; special uncles & aunts: Ricky Lloyd, David & Bernice Miller, Shelia Gregg, Barry & Rebecca Furr, Lester Lloyd, Chris Reagan, Jason & Sylvia Reagan; two special nieces: Jala Chandley & Kaylan Butler; special cousins: Kenya & Kelly Lloyd, Cameron Walton, Buff & Melissa Miller, Jenna Gregg, Ken Dykes, Dylan Furr, Alaina Lloyd, Brittany Kishbaugh, Ashley Blazer, Haley & Lacey Reagan; special friends: Shawn Gross and Mandy Sasser; along with a multitude of extended family and friends! Also surviving is special friend and mother of his children, Sabrena Landers.
