Orville Lloyd Hall, Jr.

Edmond Resident Lloyd Hall passed away Saturday, August 16th, 2025 at St. Anthony hospital in Oklahoma City, surrounded by family in a situation where if he could have, he surely would have told us all to go home and get rest and stop worrying about him.

Lloyd was born on Friday, October 17th, 1958, in the Panama Canal Zone, Panama to Orville Lloyd Hall, Sr. and Ruth Vera Hall (nee Wilgus). As a child he also grew up partly in Sacramento, California and Shawnee, Oklahoma.

He was a jack of all trades, always learning everything he could about whatever vocation he may have held at the time. Be it as a cross-country truck driver, or an expert in pest control (which he retired from after 18 years), and anything in between. If he didn't know the solution to a problem, or perhaps how to fix something, he could learn, quite easily, and he always gladly shared whatever knowledge he had openly and happily with anyone lucky enough to listen.

A humble, intelligent, mostly quiet man, he valued his family above all else. A trait inherited from his parents, and passed on to his sons. He loved unconditionally, would give the shirt off his back to the ones he loved without hesitation, and did the same quietly for many he barely knew as well. He taught us how to take the good with the bad and made sure we were never alone when we needed help. He demonstrated a quiet compassion and love for those around him, adding in an unmatched wit and sense of humor you really only got to see if you were lucky enough to be loved by him.

Lloyd held a deep sense of pride in his family and taught us that as long as we always did the best we could, that was good enough. He was so proud of his wife, his children and his grandchildren, and his eyes would quietly light up anytime they were around or he got to talk about them. His greatest accomplishment, despite his astounding stubbornness, was showing us you should never stop learning, never stop growing, and always love with everything you are.

With every story passed on, every memory shared, every instance of his name escaping our lips, or any time we show love or compassion without condition or expectation, he will be there with us. Immortalized in our hearts as though he had carved his name there, like each one is a tree he passed on the journey of life, "Lloyd was here." A statement so profound in it's simplicity, one could only truly understand if you were fortunate enough to know his heart. He always did the best he could, and we think that's good enough, too.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Orville Lloyd Hall, Sr. and Ruth Vera Hall, His late wife April Gillham-Hall, and his uncle William(Bill) Merrifield.

Survivors include his loving wife Megan Ann Hall, his two sons and their spouses, Brandon Hall and Stacy Pridgen, Trevor and Alaina Hall. Sister Barbara Billman and her husband Ron, brother James Hall and his wife Loretta; his grandchildren Lexi Hall, Mihali Ryanne Rich-Hall, and Gemma Scarlett Ruth Hall, and his nieces and nephews and their families.

Lloyd is being cremated, as per his wishes, and a celebration of life will be planned for Saturday, October 18th, 2025.
