Lloyd Sparks

August 31, 1938 – October 5, 2021

Lloyd Sparks lost his fight on Oct. 5, 2021, after battling cancer and heart issues. He was able to spend his final days in the care and home of his sister, Joyce Smith. Lloyd was born on Aug. 31, 1938, in Nyssa, Oregon. He was preceded in death by his parents Frank and Dorothy (Dietrich) Sparks and one grandson. He was the third of six children. He is survived by two brothers, Frankie and Dwain Sparks, and three sisters, Jerene Shenefelt, Reva Eisenbarth and Joyce Smith.

The Sparks family lived on Mann Creek until the fourth oldest finished high school in Weiser, Idaho. Lloyd served in the Army in the Korean War. After he left the Army, he spent the remaining years in the Royal City, Washington, area.

Lloyd was not a quitter. If his venture failed, he just moved on to the next opportunity with new enthusiasm. If you were lucky enough to be a friend of his, you had a friend for life. He had a big heart and never turned away from a friend in need.

Lloyd is survived by three beautiful daughters and seven grandchildren of whom he was very proud.
