He is remembered by his son, Kyle Bouwens; granddaughters Bella and Dakota; stepson Mark (Jill) Ver Hoeven brothers Barry (Charlotte) Bouwens and Brian (Debra) Bouwens, sister Debra (Robert) Ver Hoef; and several nieces and nephews.

Lloyd was preceded in death by his parents, Earl Bouwens and Evelyn Bouwens (Slenk), and stepson Travis Ver Hoeven.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
