In Loving Memory of Leonard “Lenny” Franklin Loyd

 

July 24, 1948 – July 18, 2025

Leonard “Lenny” Franklin Loyd passed away peacefully on July 18, 2025, just shy of his 77th birthday. Born in Ohio and raised in Montreal, Canada, Lenny led a life rich in adventure, creativity, and purpose. He spent several vibrant years as a restaurateur in the Grand Cayman Islands before settling in Stuart, Florida in 1985, where he built a successful career as a Financial Planner and established deep roots in the community.
 

Lenny’s lifelong love of golf and music defined much of his spirit. From childhood swings to competitive triumphs, golf became both a passion and a calling. His remarkable achievements— US Mid Amateur, British Mid-Amateur, an albatross, 2 holes-in-one, and his upcoming induction into the Palm Beach County Golf Association Hall of Fame this fall.—stand as lasting testaments to his dedication and joy for the game.
 

His musical journey came full circle this year with the release of his final album, The Patch, a heartfelt project now available on Spotify under the name Lenny Loyd. Through every chord and lyric, Lenny poured his soul into sound—leaving behind melodies that will continue to resonate.
 

Lenny is survived by his devoted wife, Victoria Loyd of Port Saint Lucie, his beloved son, Casey Loyd of Orlando, brother-in-law John Disalvatore Jr. (Sandy) of Fort Lauderdale, sister-in-law Belinda Dubecky (Joe) of Port Saint Lucie, nephews Charles Forbes, Nicholas Forbes, Hunter Forbes, Skylar Forbes, Johnny DiSalvatore III & Raffi DiSalvatore.  His legacy of kindness, humor, and artistry lives on in their hearts and in all those who had the honor of knowing him.
 

In celebration of Lenny’s life, friends and loved ones are invited to raise a glass in his honor  on   July 30th at 5:00 p.m. , wherever they may be. A simple toast—full of memory and love—is all it takes to carry his spirit forward. If moved to do so, you are welcome to share a text message with Victoria at 772-201-8740 .
 

Lenny’s story was a song well sung, a round well played, and a life well lived.
