Lloyd Chamberlain Briggs

January 26, 1930 — August 2, 2024

Burns, Wyoming

Lloyd Chamberlain Briggs, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grand, passed away on August 2, 2024, in Burns, Wyoming, at the age of 94. He was born on January 26, 1930, in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Lloyd dedicated much of his life to the art of driving, serving as a truck driver for AmeriGas (CalGas) in Cheyenne. His exceptional skills and commitment to safety led to him being named Driver of the Month by the Wyoming Trucking Association's Council of Safety Supervisors May 1986. He was also recognized for driving over three million miles accident-free by his company, a testament to his professionalism and dedication to his craft.

After retiring, Lloyd found joy in grooming snowmobile trails for the state of Wyoming. His passion for snowmobiling was evident through his membership in the Wyoming/Colorado Snowmobile Club and being named Snowmobiler of the Year by the Wyoming State Snowmobile Association Fun Days in Cody, Wyoming. His dedication to maintaining the trails earned him the Wyoming State Trail Worker Award from the American Trails Board.

A natural storyteller, Lloyd entertained family and friends with his captivating tales, leaving them guessing whether his stories were fact or fiction. His grandchildren especially cherished the moments spent listening to his narratives, creating lasting memories that will be treasured forever.

In addition to his illustrious career and love for snowmobiling, Lloyd was a skilled automobile mechanic, carpenter, plumber, and electrician. His vast knowledge and willingness to lend a helping hand endeared him to all who knew him.

Lloyd is survived by his daughters, Patricia Buckley, Gail Jones (Bernard), and Joyce Andrews, along with nine grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lois, and his son, Lloyd Ray.

In honoring Lloyd Briggs, we celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love, dedication, and a passion for storytelling, snowmobiling, and service. His legacy will continue to inspire and bring warmth to the hearts of all who were fortunate to have known him. May he rest in peace.
