Troutdale, Va.
Lloyd Garnet Walls age 88, passed away Tuesday, September 3, 2024 at Ballad Hospice House, Bristol, Tenn.
Lloyd was born in Green Cove, Va. later moving to West Grove, Penn. where he lived for over 50 years before moving back to Virginia, finally calling Troutdale his home; making many friends along the way because he never met a stranger he wouldn’t talk to or share a smile with. He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army and had a long work history following his time in the Army – starting with NVF Co. in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania making circuit boards for 48 years. He later worked for Dollar General over 17 years in both Pennsylvania and Virginia. When he wasn’t working, Lloyd enjoyed NASCAR racing, gardening and was an avid fisherman. He and his late wife Laura enjoyed being together and going to festivals, flea markets and auctions. Lloyd Walls was a genuine, likeable, wonderful man who was always smiling and his presence will be missed.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Laura Blevins Walls; parents, Coy and Mae Walls; all of his siblings and their spouses; brothers-in-law, Arthur “Jack” Blevins and Arvel Lee Blevins, Sr.; niece, Linda Sue Yarber; nephews, Ray Pennington, Ricky Walls, Stanley Walls, Arvel Lee Blevins, Jr., John Scott Blevins, Steven Blevins and Roger Farmer.
Lloyd is survived by his daughter, Michelle Roberts and husband, David; grandson, Dylan Roberts, all of Sugar Grove, Va.; sisters-in-law, Dorothy “Dottie” Blevins of Galax, Va. and Lessie Ann Blevins of Whitetop, Va.; several nieces and nephews and their families; special friend, Remo Censurato.
