Lloyd was born in Medicine Hat and grew up in southern Alberta living in High River and Brandt. Lloyd married in 1956 to Anne Hopkins from Medicine Hat and enjoyed more than fifty-two years of marriage. He spent his entire working career in the oil patch, spending thirty-nine years with the ERCB before retiring and then becoming an independent consultant with Intercomp until his retirement.

He is survived by his loving wife Anne, son Gregory Charles Hicklin (Jane), daughter Sandra Guild (Doug), grandchildren Jaclyn, James, Kyle and Sara. Lloyd was predeceased by his sister Eileen and infant brother Kenneth. During his life Lloyd had a love of outdoor activities enjoying camping and boating on Shuswap Lake, fishing off the coast of Vancouver Island, or hunting and fishing in the foothills and prairies of Alberta. He also enjoyed downhill skiing in the Rockies with his family and cross country skiing with his wife and friends in his senior years. Later in life he and his wife Anne were active in a seniors hiking club and enjoyed square dancing till his Parkinson's pulled him off the dance floor. He never did give up his walks through Glenmore Park where he could always be found visiting with other walkers and feeding the friendly dogs with a few treats.
