Lloyd Merle Shepardson was born July 16, 1927 in Albany, Nebraska to Elmer and Ida Shepardson. Lloyd died July 20, 2012 in the Rapid City Hospital at the age of 85.
When Lloyd was 6 his parents moved to a farm/ranch southeast of Porcupine, SD. He attended schools in Shannon County and spent 2 years in the Army and was honorably discharged.
After his tour of duty with the army, Lloyd lived and worked with his brother Glenn on the Shepardson farm/ranch by Porcupine. During this time he spent many hours with Glenn and Phyllis’s children. It wasn’t always to his liking but he was very patient and tolerant of their constant presence! He was very popular with the kids as he enjoyed snowmobiling, motorcycles, fishing and hunting.
After his retirement he moved to Gordon, NE where he worked for a time at the packing plant. It was not his favorite job but kept him busy for a while. He enjoyed playing cards, shooting pool and fishing with his Gordon friends and always enjoyed dinner at the Senior Center and coffee at the truck stop.
Lloyd was an active member of the Gordon American Legion.
Lloyd was preceded in death by his father, mother, brother Glenn, infant sister Gladys and special friend Rose Simpson.
