Lloyd E. Ashley passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family at his home in Adkins, Texas on December 29, 2020 at the age of 85. He was born on February 14, 1935 to Edward and Thelma (Johnson) Ashley in San Antonio, Texas. Lloyd married Nell Blandford on January 3, 1959, a treasured marriage of 62 years. Lloyd proudly farmed and ranched in Bexar, Atascosa, Wilson, and Frio Counties. He volunteered by serving many years on the Bexar County Farm Bureau and Soil and Water Conservation Board as a director. He also served for seven years in the United States National Guard. Lloyd, also known lovingly as “Pa”, cherished spending time with his ever-expanding family by quietly instigating schemes that involved the little ones getting into some sort of trouble. One of his favorite things in life was spending time with his family.
Lloyd was preceded in death by his parents; siblings Marvin, Dever Ray, and Joyce Ashley; nephews, Dennis and Bryan Ashley; great-grandson, Cayson Gembler.
Lloyd is survived by his wife, Nell; children Terre Richter (Barrett), Darryl Ashley (Lucy), Debbe Griffin (Stacey), Jennifer Kotzur (Justin); grandchildren, Nicole Gembler (Cody), Kortni Ezell (Jarrett), Brody Richter, Megan Evans (Cole), Mindy Jackson (Dustin), Derek Ashley, Lauren Fiala (Steven), Landon Griffin, Joslyn Jones (C.A.), Jordyn Crutcher (Brennan), Jaelyn Kotzur; great-grandchildren Brynleigh Gembler, Tildyn, Fallon and Maisyn Ezell, Ella and Dunn Evans, Kinsley and Bryson Fiala, Asher Jones, Baby Crutcher; Sisters, Anna Gravell (Carl), Martha McCarley (Joe), Sisters-in-law Martha and Juandean, and numerous beloved nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers for Lloyd’s service will be grandsons, grandsons-in-law, and nephew Ronney Ashley.
