OBITUARY

Sergeant Kevin Lee Lloyd
April 9, 1985 – November 9, 2025

Sergeant Kevin Lee Lloyd, age 40, passed away on November 9, 2025, after a courageous battle with stage IV colorectal cancer, a result of toxic burn pit exposure during his service in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Surrounded by his loved ones, Kevin's unwavering strength and resolve were evident until the very end.

Born on April 9, 1985, Kevin answered his country’s call at the age of 21, enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. He served with distinction for nine years with 2/3 Fox Company, completing three combat deployments to the Middle East and one deployment to Japan. Throughout his military career, Kevin exemplified the core values of the Marine Corps — Semper Fidelis: steadfast, reliable, and dedicated to his brothers and sisters in arms.

After his honorable discharge, Kevin continued his service to others. He earned a bachelor’s degree and became an educator, using his experiences and compassion to make a profound impact on the lives of young people in Montgomery County. As a fierce advocate for at-risk youth, Kevin provided structure, encouragement, and steady guidance to those who needed it most. He also founded the Student Veterans Support Program at Lone Star College, offering veterans mentorship, camaraderie, and the resources needed to thrive in civilian life.

Kevin was deeply committed to community service and was an active organizer for Toys for Tots. His dedication to others remained constant, and his mission to serve never ceased, even after leaving the military. His work with veterans’ causes, particularly advocating for those affected by burn pits, became his final and most important cause. Together with Alicia Rose Urban, his former spouse, caregiver, and advocate, Kevin fought tirelessly for justice for his fellow veterans. His involvement with Burn Pits 360 and their joint efforts as Texas Advocates for the cause helped bring greater recognition and protection for veterans suffering from toxic exposure.

Above all, Kevin’s greatest joy in life was being a father to his three beloved sons: Luke, Hunter, and Corbin. He was a devoted father, never missing a game or school event, and always present to support and guide his boys. Kevin was also an active volunteer in his sons' school through the Watch D.O.G.S. program, where he was known as a warm, dependable presence for students and staff alike.

Kevin is survived by his children, Luke, Hunter, and Corbin; Alicia Rose Urban, the mother of his children and his steadfast caregiver; his parents, Larry and Sandra Lloyd; his brothers, Jason, Jed, and Kyle Lloyd; and many cherished relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his brother, Cody Lloyd.

Kevin's legacy lives on through his advocacy work and the lives he touched, particularly in the fight for justice and protections for veterans. In his final months, Kevin worked tirelessly to secure recognition of his cancer as a combat-related injury and to ensure that future generations of veterans would not suffer as he had. His advocacy efforts, including the Sergeant Kevin Lee Lloyd No Veteran Left Behind Act and The Lloyd Foundation – Angel for the Forgotten, will continue to make a lasting impact.

Kevin will be remembered not only for his service as a Marine and his tireless work as an educator and advocate but also for his love, strength, and devotion to his family. He was a man who never stopped fighting, not for himself, but for others. His courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to justice remain his enduring legacy.

Semper Fidelis, Sergeant Kevin Lee Lloyd.
Your watch has ended. Your legacy lives on.
Til’ Valhalla.
