Lloyd C. Gettings Obituary (1959 - 2022)

Lloyd Clayton Gettings was a hillbilly mountain man that left this world much too soon. He was surrounded by family and is now a fleck of stardust traveling the cosmos (maybe). Jack of all trades, master of some, he went by many titles including Husband, Father, Grandpa, sportsman, really anything but “late for dinner”. He was a hillbilly through and through. He loved anything outdoors. He spent his time hunting, fishing, camping or anything else that would get him into the hills. The only thing he loved more than the outdoors were his grandkids. He loved to teach his grandkids how to chop wood, cook in a dutch oven, shoot guns, and even throw tomahawks. Lloyd was a proud member of the recovery community, celebrating 25 years of sobriety. He retired from Utility Trailer in 2019 where he worked as an inspector. After retiring, he looked forward to archery hunting for elk all year. He had hoped to hunt with his older brother Jim again. Unfortunately, cancer took his health sooner than planned. Even then, Lloyd was at peace with his life. “I made my choices and I had a damned good time doing it,” he would always say, “If it’s my time then I am ready to go”. He was one of the most genuine men you could ever know, always willing to help anyone. The void left by his passing is felt by all that knew him. He is and always will be missed. Lloyd is survived by his wife Shelly, sons Bryan Done, Timothy (Jessi) Done, Bradley Parsons, daughter Angie (Matt) Peck. Grandchildren; Amethyst Done, Ava Roberts, Jack Done, Killian Done, Mia Peck, Chloe Peck, Shay Peck. Siblings; James Gettings, Donna (John) Bush, Vanessa Peebley, Belinda Izzarelli and more nieces and nephews than can be mentioned.
