Reverend Burl Lloyd, 88, of Bassett, AR passed away, January 29, 2021. He was born February 8, 1932 in Bassett, AR. to Archie Elmo Lloyd and Mildred Lloyd Manor. He was a pastor for 54 years. He started as pastor at Black Water Church of God in 1966, then he pastured churches in Earl, Lepanto, West Helena and finished his career in the church he started in, Black Water Church of God. He was very talented and could repair and fix anything. He enjoyed sports, most of all the Rivercrest Colts, Arkansas State Red Wolves and The Razorbacks', and always cheered for the team that was the underdog. He is survived by his son: Michael (Susie) Lloyd; many Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren; brother: Billy (Judy) Lloyd; sisters: Betty (JR) Cunningham and Carol (Dan) Wortham. He is preceded in death by his wife: Joyce Ann Lloyd; his parents; sons: David ''Chip'' Lloyd and Tony Lloyd; daughter: Rhonda Warhurst; brothers: Eugene Lloyd and Alvin Lloyd.We are following the guidelines of the Arkansas Department of Health and will only be allowing up to 100 people into the funeral home at any given time.

Never could I forget Rev. Lloyd. It seems like yesterday when he was building (without help) a sturdy and perfect storage building. The day was a smothering hot sumlmer day and he built it, of course, for a church, one in which his son Michael pastors. An amazing man of God. Love and prayers for all the Lloyd family.
Im so sorry for your loss in our thought and prayers we keep praying for you
We will keep you in our prayers.
So sorry for the loss of Brother Lloyd. I am thankful for the life of Brother Lloyd. He Pastored where I got saved in 1965. It was also where we grow up as kids. Thank you for your faithfulness.
So sorry to hear of the passing of such a wonderful man of God. I loved watching him at Campmeeting sitting on the front row, worshipping God and at times shouting the glory! He was always ready for an encouraging word, especially to us young preachers. Prayers for peace on the family.
Sorry for the family's loss but rejoicing because Bro Lloyd is where he longed to be. I've known him since I was a young girl and my parents were also Church of God ministers. May God give the family comfort and his church family comfort and guidance. Keep that little church going!!!
So sorry for the passing of Mr. Burl. He has been along time friend to my family.
Prayers for all.
Sorry for your loss. Keeping everyone in our prayers.
So sorry for your loss.
My family and I are members of the Blackwater Church of God. We at the church have lost a good pastor and a great example of a child of God. To Michael and the rest of the Lloyd family, we are very sorry for the loss of your father and the family's pawpaw. Just remember in Brother Lloyd's own words "It will take another world to know how much you mean to me."
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of Bro. Lloyd please except mine and my family’s deepest sympathy during this time. We attended the Church of God in West Helena many a years ago with Bro and Sister Lloyd. They were great people.
So sorry for your loss, Rev Lloyd never entered or left a Rivercrest ballgame without speaking to us, we sure will miss him. I know he is rejoicing in heaven today
I am so sorry for your great loss. Prayers for comfort during this difficult time
Betty, so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
