Dear Rhondda and family. I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Lloyd, thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. My heart goes out to you all, Cherish the precious memories. Love Faye Stewart (Née Powell)

Lloyd was lucky to have had such a special family. Rhonda, Paul, Kerry, and Karen. His life was this, but especially the grandchildren in the later years. You will all have your own special memories to treasure. It will be hard but I know that he will forever be looking down at you all and guiding you on. You all made him very proud. To a good life, full of wonderful times xx

Lloyd was a great neighbour for 23 odd years. Only time I have seen George do DIY was when Lloyd got him out there to put up a new fence. We will miss seeing Lloyd out in the garden, that was a constant weekend picture for us. A lovely man who will be sadly missed.

Lloyd, it is truly a privilege to have gotten to know you over the past 8 years. Thank you for being such an important figure in my life and for always being so welcoming to me as part of your family. You are one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. No problem was ever to big and you would always be there to support or help us out at a moments notice. Some of my fondest memories of you were our chats about family, the fresh produce you would drop around for us and the cheeky side to you that always made us smile. You have helped guide and raise a beautiful family and it is an honour to me to now carry the Rowley name. Lloyd you are truly a treasure and your presence here on earth will be missed. I’m so proud to be part of your family and I promise to take care of them just as you asked. Thank you for being such an incredible person. We miss you and love you so much. We will keep you in our hearts forever and do what we can to make you proud. You will never be forgotten 🤍

Paige Rowley

Poppa, You were one of a kind, and there will never be anyone like you. Thank you for all the memories, the laughs, and the love you gave so easily to everyone around you. You had a way of making everything brighter just by being yourself. I’m going to miss you more than words can say, but I’ll carry those memories with me always. Love you forever and always ❤️
