Lloyd L King

Lloyd is survived by his wife, Kristine King, with whom he celebrated 45 years of marriage this year; his son, Michael King (Megan); his sisters, Debbie Smithkors (Ernie) and Becky Seybold; his brother, Glenn; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Esther (Little) and Floyd King; his brother, Terry King; and his sisters Suzanne Smith (Bobby) and Kathy Meischki.

Lloyd loved spending time with his family. He had a dry sense of humor, a stubborn and independent nature, and a generous heart. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

As owner of King's Mobile Mechanics, Lloyd built a career around his remarkable mechanical ability, inventiveness, and careful planning. His work for Strobic Air took him to many cities across the United States and gave him a lifetime of interesting and unique jobs. Whether he was repairing old or new machinery, foaming a commercial roof, or painting a commercial building, Lloyd welcomed a challenge. If no replacement part was available, he simply made one in his shop. Taking on difficult projects and finding a way to make things work was one of the most fulfilling parts of his career.

Lloyd enjoyed racing for many years as a member of Craigs' pit crew and especially looked forward to trips to the Daytona 500 infield. He later shared that passion with his son, Michael, helping him achieve many quarter-midget racing victories through his knowledge of setup and application. Lloyd and Mike could often be found at racetracks both locally and throughout the East Coast, and the Nationals in Indianapolis were always a highlight. When Michael began playing sports, Lloyd was at every game, cheering him on.

Before the digital age, Lloyd enjoyed photography and built an impressive collection of photographs. He also enjoyed the adventure of competing in two-day three-wheeler endurance trials with his friend Jimmy.

A lifetime member of the Lower Bucks Dog Club, Lloyd excelled at training the family's first dog, Taffy. He went on to support the club for many years through it obedience and agility trials, made some of the club's jumps, and continued helping at the training site whenever needed.

Lloyd was an excellent craftsman who made items for family, friends, and even Michael's school. He also constructed stalls at the horse farm where he and Krissy met. They both enjoyed riding, and Lloyd participated in fox hunts; jumping was his favorite part. He also enjoyed ski trips with Mike and friends and was always ready for an adventure.

A favorite running joke among friends was that Lloyd was the person you would want with you if you were stranded on an island. His resourcefulness and ability to adapt whatever was around him were qualities everyone had experienced firsthand.

The family extends special thanks to Lloyd's nieces, Barbie, for spending countless hours sitting by his side, and Vickie, for her many visits and for helping with so many things Lloyd was no longer able to do; and to his brother, Glenn, for stepping in to care for him during these past months.

The family also extends heartfelt thanks to Anthony, Lloyd's nurse for the past several years, for his time, patience, and compassionate care. His weekly visits and continued support helped Lloyd and Kris navigate and manage Lloyd's healthcare, and Lloyd always enjoyed their conversations.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the near future.

In lieu of flowers, please take a moment to visit or call someone you have been meaning to reconnect with. Mend a fence was a family member or friend, let go of the past, and move forward. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Lloyd would have liked that.
