Mr. Lloyd Aaron Long-Powell was born October 8, 1969 in Saginaw, Michigan to Bartholomew Powell, Jr. and Mary Nell Long. He passed away Sunday, September 9, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. Age 48 years.

Lloyd was a student of Saginaw Public Schools and attended Saginaw High School, but received his General Education Diploma from another institution. He was living in Chicago, Illinois for the last thirteen years and was employed as a construction worker. Lloyd was good with hands and he had the ability to fix or build anything.

Lloyd enjoyed gambling and was a regular at the casino. He was loving, caring, a jokester, dependable, loyal and had a big heart. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. A family man above anything, he loved his children and his family. His aunt Ethel Long called him “Butterstuff” and everyone else called him “Luscious Lloyd.” Although we were not ready and feel you left too soon, God said it was your time to rest.

Lloyd was preceded in death by his parents, Bartholomew Powell, Jr. and Mary Nell Long; sister, Lee Long; grandparents, Arrie and Jerry Long, Bartholomew Powell, Sr.; aunt, Mary L. Long; uncles, Roscoe, Wenfred, Cecil, Willie Long; niece, Cassie Jenkins; cousins, Suzie, Lela and Matthew Long.
