Lloyd Eugene Estes

Lloyd Eugene Estes, 82, formerly of Eubank, Kentucky, passed away at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center on July 11th, 2020. He was a resident of Stanford Care & Rehabilitation. 

Born in Lincoln County on February 13, 1938, Lloyd was the son of Kern Madison Estes, Sr. and Cordie Renner Estes. He was a 1957 graduate of Eubank High School and married his late wife, Dorothy Carol (Williams) on October 3, 1958. They were married 60 years until she passed in October 2018. Lloyd was a longtime member of Pilot Baptist Church where his kindhearted leadership and hard-working spirit served the church in numerous ways — as a Deacon, Sunday School teacher, groundskeeper, custodian, and Vacation Bible School volunteer. 

Lloyd retired from Modern Vending of Somerset after nearly 50 years of service. He loved his family and church, and enjoyed UK basketball, reading his Bible, Bluegrass, and gospel music. He also loved animals, especially his dog Buffy.
