Lloyd Glenn Pittman, age 75 of Whitwell was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, February 24. Born on August 20, 1950 in Whitwell, he was the beloved son of Virgil Pittman and Marilda Brown Pittman. Lloyd built a life rooted in faith, family, and simple joys. He was married to the love of his life Drenda Jones Pittman and was a devoted member of Poplar Grove Church of God, where his faith guided every step he took. A man of many talents and a gentle spirit, Lloyd found joy in the everyday blessings around him. He loved playing guitar and singing, often filling his home with music. He enjoyed working in the yard, tending to his garden, and tinkering with anything that needed a careful hand. Westerns, Jimmy Swaggart broadcasts, and quiet moments outdoors were some of his favorite pastimes. Above all, Lloyd cherished time spent with his family, especially his girls, who were the light of his life. His presence was steady, kind, and full of love and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
