Lloyd Judd Jr., known by many as LJ or Pap, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on July 24, 2025 at the age of 69. He was born in Lexington, Missouri, the son of Lloyd Judd Sr. and Mary E (Helm) Judd. Lloyd was a 1974 graduate of Lexington High School. He started his construction career as a heavy equipment operator in Richmond, Missouri working for Bersano Construction Company. From there, he went to work for Havens Construction in Liberty, Missouri retiring in 2020 after 30 years of dedication to the company. He enjoyed woodworking, boating, camping, fishing, but his greatest joy was spending time with his family. In August of 1997, Lloyd's world changed with just one kiss on the swinging bridge in Warsaw, Missouri. On January  5, 2002, Lloyd married his lifelong friend, Jamie (Bryan) Judd.  With that union, he inherited two daughters that he loved as his own.

Lloyd was a friend to everyone he met. He had a kind, giving heart, a smile on his face, and a big hug to give. He loved being involved in the lives of his daughters, sons-in-law, and granddaughters.  He was always there cheering them on in sporting events, school activities, fixing/building anything you can imagine, or just spending time with them. He became affectionately known, by many from North to South of Highway 13 as "Pap".

He was preceded in death by his father Lloyd Judd Sr. Survivors include his wife Jamie of the home; daughters Tyna Morrison (Matt), granddaughters (Taylor, Tylee, Tenley) of Kidder, Missouri; Amie Hicks (Ryan) and granddaughter (Hollis Mae and one on the way) of Republic, Missouri; his mother Mary Judd of Keaau, Hawaii; his brother Joey Judd (Chris) and niece (Hannah) of Shawnee Mission, Kansas; his sister Brenda Ho (Clyde) and nieces (Shanna and Kanoe) of Keaau, Hawaii.
