Nov. 23, 1920 – Nov. 28, 2011

Loyd E. Thomas passed away in the early afternoon hours on Monday, Nov. 28, 2011 at his family farm in Bell, Fla. He had just celebrated his 91st birthday. Born Loyd Eugene Thomas in Bell, Florida on Nov. 23, 1920, to the late L.R. and Ann Thomas, he is preceded in death by his wife of 43 years, Muriel Yarbrough Thomas.

His sisters Loiselle Bailey and Yvonne Demember of Tallahassee, Wilma Hall and Iva Lou Fletcher, both of Branford as well as a host of nieces and nephews. As a young boy growing up in the early 1900s, Loyd left formal school at an early age to help his father and his brother work the family farm. Times were tough, and being the second of nine children his assistance was well received. As time passed, his country came calling and he served in the United States Army during World War II traveling to the South Pacific. His love of God and fellow man was very evident. He was one of the founding members at Riverside Baptist Church. For years he assisted the residents of Gilchrist County during the elections in his service as a Poll Worker. He was most content and happy atop one of his many machines as he worked pushing trees and clearing land. Work was something he embraced and he has helped instill it in his family. As his family mourns his passing, they are comforted in knowing he is at home with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at Daniels Funeral Home in Branford, Fl from 5-7 p.m. A celebration of his life will be on Friday, Dec. 2 at 10 in the morning at Riverside Baptist Church located just off CR 138 in North Gilchrist County.
