Lloyd was born on July 20, 1925 in Billings, Montana to William E. Barling and Helen M. (Agelii) Barling. He enlisted in the Navy V5 program and trained as a fighter pilot, earning his commission. He graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Engineering and spent his career as a civil engineer for Barling Construction.

Lloyd was a passionate outdoorsman, who loved the challenges the outdoors brought. He had a creative and inventive mind, always seeking new challenges, artistically and mechanically. He had a strong sense of civic responsibility and served on many boards and commissions, including the Meeteetse School Board, Park County Commission, Big Horn REA and Tri-State REA.

Lloyd always appreciated the beauty of Wyoming, especially Meeteetse, where he spent his life. A celebration of life memorial service will be held in Meeteetse in June. Memorial contributions may be made to the Meeteetse Senior Center, P.O. Box 461, Meeteetse, WY 82433.
