Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to bid farewell to the one and only Lloyd Balentine, the undisputed king of dad jokes and master of puns. Born on March 15, 1950, Lloyd left this world chuckling on October 30, 2023, in Cabot, Arkansas.

Lloyd was a man of many talents, though his self-proclaimed skill of snoring would probably be the most celebrated. His impressive snoring symphonies occasionally disturbed the peace of neighbors and sleeping pets alike.

As a father, Lloyd was a true marvel. He had a unique ability to embarrass his children with his endearing yet cringeworthy dad jokes. His dad joke game was so strong that it was rumored the famous knock-knock joke came about because Lloyd couldn't figure out how to use a doorbell properly.

In his free time, Lloyd was an avid collector of questionable tie-dye shirts and unmatched socks. It became his signature style that turned heads, made people question his fashion choices, and immortalized him as the ultimate fashion misfit. The fashion industry will surely mourn his loss.

Lloyd loved to make people smile, and he brought joy to everyone he met. His cheerful charisma was so infectious that even his poker face at a funeral could induce laughter. He had an undeniable talent for turning the most mundane situations into comedic gold.

Despite his humor-centric life, Lloyd did have serious moments. A lover of nature, he often found solace in his garden, cultivating flowers, and trying to convince squirrels to pose for family portraits. He had an unwavering dedication to his favorite hobby, making the most ingenious squirrel outfits in a bid to befriend them. Unfortunately, the squirrels remained camera-shy and out of frame.

Lloyd leaves behind two children whom he loved to annoy with his dad jokes, and eight unsuspecting grandchildren who will soon inherit his legacy of laughter. Although we will miss his witty one-liners and infectious laughter, let us celebrate his life and remember him for being the funniest guy in town.

As a parting gift, if you’re feeling down, just remember this classic Lloyd Balentine punchline, "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!" Rest in chuckles, dear Lloyd. You will be missed, and your laughter-inducing spirit will forever be in our hearts.
