Early morning on May 14th, 2022, Lloyd, 82, peacefully passed away at Advanced
Health Care in Mesa, AZ surrounded by the love of his family.
Lloyd was born in Wolf Point, MT on September 8th, 1939. He was the third child
of Frank & Faye Heser, arriving shortly after twin brother Floyd.
Lloyd graduated from Wolf Point High School, served in the army during the
Korean Conflict, and on April 5th, 1964 married Sharon Udland. They were
married for 38 years until Sharon’s death in 2003. Lloyd was a service technician
at Farmers Union Oil (now Agland). Lloyd passed his love for horses on to his
daughter, son & nephews. Weekends were spent moving cows, riding in wagon
trains, working brandings and taking care of the horses. He had a special knack
for nurturing injured horses back to health. Lloyd enjoyed traveling to the Denver
Stock Show, trips to AZ & SD to visit “the kids”, and was a member of the Elks and
American Legion. Every year he participated in the Stampede weekend activities
and was the 2007 Grand Marshall. In 2006, Lloyd was blessed with a new heart;
understood the importance and responsibility of such a gift and was grateful.
