Merton, London
With deepest sorrow, we announce that Granville Keith Lloyd (Mr G) age 62 our beloved son, brother, family member and friend passed away in hospital after his long fight with cancer on Sunday 9th May 2021. For all those who knew Granville we have lost his bright, charming, friendly and uplifting energy that he shared with us all. Granville will be missed everyday by his mother Mrs Gretel Lloyd, his sister Pauline, his brothers Douglas, Tony, Robert, Trevor, his nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, other family members  and many close friends and great acquaintances. Granville will be joining his father Mr Fitzallan Lloyd and other close family members in heaven, and will always be remembered as he rests in peace. We will always LOVE him and we will MISS him very much.   Flowers By Pearlyn Published: February 2015 They have no mouth, but seem to speak A thousand words so mild and meek. They have no eyes , but seem to see And bury thoughts into me. They have no ears, but seem to hear All my cries, my every tear. They have no arms, but seem to pat When with worries my heart is fat. They have no feet, but seem to walk Along with me in my dreams and talk. They, I know, are the flowers so nice That spread their fragrance a million miles. Grow a few and then you'll know How your life is fresh and new. With a smile so broad, I thank my God, Whose work to imagine is really too hard.

I’m so sad, we will miss him. I met him many time at armwrestling tournaments in the last 25 years. I’ll always remember his sense of humor, his polite manners. Always smiling and positive. RIP my friend.

To my dear friend Granville We shared time at primary school and we shared time at secondary school, we shared time on the dance floor & we shared time as friends but not I share my time with sorrow over your loss my dear friend. You fought lots of Marshall arts tournaments but this was your biggest fight which took you away from us Sleep now as your fight for survival is over and your wonderful smile and approach to life’s challenges will be misted by us all.

Granville Lloyd The angels looked down from heaven one night. They searched for miles afar, And deep within the distance They could see a shining star. They knew that very instant That the star was theirs to gain, So they took you up to heaven, Forever to remain. Look down on us from heaven. Keep us free from hurt and pain. You’ll always be within my heart Until we meet again.   Fly high my kind friend

Mark Williams25 May 2021

What a wise and wonderful man you were G. A friend to everyone at Roehampton Club. A role model for men. You always had time for everyone, especially the ladies and you never ever wore a frown. You constantly conducted yourself with grace. Karen and I will miss your company so much and you randomly calling in for dinner, a beer, a whiskey or port. We have shed a few tears for you brother but we also smile in the memory of sharing a small part of our lives with you and you will remain forever in our hearts. Mark & Karen x

Marie Fuller25 May 2021

GOD’S GARDEN God looked around his garden And found an empty place He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew that you could never Get well on  earth again He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, ‘Peace Be Thine’ It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

Sonia Ellis28 May 2021

When I first meet Granville I thought ” boy that man looks like Eddie Murphy”, he was welcoming and had a smile that would make you smile with a sense of humour to match. Granville was a true gentleman, charismatic and very dapper. A good friend with a heart of gold but suffers fools lightly. You will be missed Granville but still loved. Be at peace my friend and keep smiling.x

Mick and Lyn Ring ( the Executioner and Scorch)28 May 2021
