Obituary William Lloyd Jerome, III was born July 15, 1966 in Victorville, CA to Joyce Geneva Saunders nee Rankin and the late William Lloyd Jerome, Jr. He was affectionately known as Lloyd and “Cool-Aid”. Lloyd was educated primarily in the District of Columbia Public School System, graduated from Ballou High School, and attended Johnson C. Smith University. He was an all-around gifted person, star athlete in basketball, football, track, and boxing. Lloyd was the high school quarterback at Ballou HIgh School, received track scholarships to Brown and J. C. Smith Universities, and was member of #11 Boxing Gym. Lloyd was known for being the life of the party, loved music, dancing, and singing. That golden voice was a point of contention growing up, however, he used it to his advantage as an adult. Professionally, he could be found doing something in customer service or sales, allowing his personality and entrepreneurial gifts to shine.

Lloyd was gifted with his first child with Qwenada Miller, while in college. On April 3, 1991 he married Danielle Gregory, and were blessed with four children.

He raised his family partly in Temple Hills, MD and

Charlotte, NC. They joined From the Heart Church Ministries of Charlotte and were baptized in 2012 by Pastor Quinton A. Smith.

Lloyd was preceded in death by his father Wm. Lloyd, Jr. And is survived by his mother, Joyce Geneva Saunders nee Rankin, children, Winston, Wade, MiChon, Llorielle, Indya, grandsons, Jordan and Ju’Elz. He is also survived by his siblings Wesley (Sonja) Jerome of Raleigh, NC, Makia (Adrian) Benniefield of Richmond, VA, Jacqueline (Christopher) Richardson of Salisbury, NC. He also leaves behind an uncle, Anthony Jerome, aunts Dian Townsend and Velma Grant, and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, and dear friends.

Lloyd has more friends and family to count. However, we want to acknowledge the Davis, Lindsey, Townsend and Henderson families, Joy Shay, Lambert Joyner, Roy Stephenson, Jeff Burks and Clarence Wallace for being surrogate mothers, sisters, and brothers.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.
