Lloyd Randall Lane

Lloyd Randall Lane, 76, of Benton, Arkansas passed away March 31, 2023.  He was born December 22, 1946 in Little Rock, Arkansas to the late Fred Lane and Sylvia Arleen (Cole) Lane.

Lloyd proudly served in the United Stated Army during the Vietnam era.  He worked as a journeyman plumber and pipe fitter.  Lloyd was baptized and served the Lord.  He was meticulous in everything he did including painting, woodworking, and building projects.  Lloyd enjoyed working in his garden.  He grew the best home-grown tomatoes and okra.  He was a wonderful PeePaw, affectionately known as “Peeps”, and adored his grandchildren. When his grandchildren were young, he bought them toy tools and taught them how to use them.  They learned how to work on projects by following him around and watching him.  He was their hero. 

Preceding Lloyd in death are his parents; stepdaughter, Kristin Richmond-Clark; brother, Jerry Lane; and in-laws:  Lyle and Jean Marshall.

Lloyd leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving wife of thirty-four years, Beth Marshall Lane of Benton, Arkansas; stepson, Nathan Richmond (Angela) of Benton; son-in-law, David Clark; four grandchildren; one great-grandson; sister, Brenda Nesvold of Minnesota; and a host of family and friends who love Lloyd and will miss him always.
