Lloyd was born on October 4, 1926 in Asherville, Kansas to LeRoy and Ethel (Melton) Trout. He was baptized into the Lutheran Church on Nov. 8, 1931, confirmed on Nov. 10, 1957 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Kansas City, KS, and was a member of Risen Savior Lutheran Church. He was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Patty, in 2013; daughter, Lydia Stubbs in 2015; and 3 brothers, Ralph, Paul, and Richard. He is survived by his daughters, Cathy (Ken) York, Kansas City, KS and Jody (Larry) Czirr, Topeka; son-in-law, Trevor Stubbs, Florida; his 4 legged companion, Finlee; grandsons, Dirk (Marla) Stubbs, Arkansas and Kenny York, Iowa; granddaughters, Courtney (Donald) Menzel, Florida and Heather (Travis) Crockett, Florida; great-grandsons, Jackson & Palmer Stubbs, Talon Ennis, William Menzel and Patrick Crockett; great-granddaughters, Valhn Williams, Lexi Menzel, Taylor & Gabrielle Crockett.
Serving in the Navy during World War II, Lloyd was stationed at Oahu, Honolulu, Pearl Harbor and was assigned "Fleet Recreation". His commanding officer thought he would be great at this job since Lloyd didn't drink or smoke. He received an Honorable Discharge in 1946. Lloyd moved to Pittsburg, Kansas and drove a bus for public transportation. One day on his route he met the love of his life, Patty, and they were married on April 22, 1947. He moved to Kansas City in 1953 and worked at GM for 5 years. He went to work for Ford Motor Co in 1958 as a welder on the assembly line until retiring in 1988. Lloyd and Patty were owners and operators of Batson Tax and Accounting for 25 years. He enjoyed the years he lived at the Lake of the Ozarks and spent his time fishing and boating and being active at Peace Lutheran Church. Health issues and visual impairment forced him to move back to KC in 2000. It was amazing what dad could still do with his visual impairment such as the unique ideas for his garden and sprinkler heads. His homemade mac and cheese and chicken salad will be missed at special events. But we will miss him most of all.
