Brett Stoddard Lloyd

Brett Stoddard Lloyd, age 65, passed away peacefully with his family by his side at his home in Pocatello, ID on Saturday, February 1st, 2025, after a short but aggressive battle with liver cancer.

Brett was born and raised in Grace, ID, where he attended elementary, junior high, and high school. He took great pride in being a part of the last graduating class of Red Devils from Grace High prior to the school mascot changing.

Brett spent much of his youth in the Beaver Dams, where he worked alongside his father, farming and raising cattle and enjoying outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing. His connection to the Beaver Dams remained a constant throughout his life, and he spent as much time as he could camping there every summer. It was truly his most cherished place to be.

Though Brett tended to be a private man, his love for his family was undeniable. He was preceded in death by his parents, Merrill Hall and Diane Stoddard Lloyd. He is survived by his older sister Patti (Steve) Findlay, his three children Kelly (Jenn) Lloyd, Wade (Nichol) Lloyd, and Melissa Lloyd, 14 grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter.

Brett had a reputation for his quick wit and dry humor, and willingness to lend a hand when needed. He was the kind of person who would serve you a helping of sarcasm with a side of wisecracks, but those who knew him well knew it was his way of showing he cared. He loved to cook, and was known for sharing his pickled eggs with visitors as another way he quietly showed his care for those around him. He was a hard worker who took pride in whatever he did, whether it was on the farm, in the shop where he was lovingly nicknamed “grandpa”, or just life in general.

True to his wishes, there will be no funeral services. Instead, a few close friends and loved ones will gather in his honor before spreading his ashes in his favorite spot on earth as his final resting place.

Brett’s legacy lives on in the laughter, stories, and memories shared by his children, grandchildren, sister, extended family and many, many friends. He will always be remembered for his big heart, his humor, and his devotion to those he cared deeply for. Though he is gone, the impact of his life will never be forgotten.
