Lloyd Louis Revier was born on Aug. 24, 1930, in Northfield, Minn., to Lloyd Edward and Rita Miner Revier. When Lloyd was a young boy, he and his two brothers, Ray and Allen, spent much of their childhood with their maternal grandmother, Olive Miner, and their aunt and uncle, Matt and Wanda Miner. At 9 years of age, after family hardship, Lloyd and his two brothers traveled by bus to Boy’s Town in Omaha, Neb., where they stayed for the following four years. Lloyd and his brothers were then located by their father, Lloyd Sr., who had been serving in the war on Normandy Beach/Africa. The family then moved to Fairmount, N.D., where his father was employed in the chicken hatchery business. Lloyd completed his schooling and graduated from Fairmount High School in 1949. His uncle Jim Simpson then hired Lloyd to live in a brooder house and help raise 5, 000 turkeys. Six months later, he entered Interstate Business College in Fargo, N.D., to become a book-keeper. He was asked to go back into the turkey business by his uncle and instead joined the U.S. Air Force stationed at Lackland, San Antonio, Texas.
Lloyd met Muriel Akre in Veblen, S.D., when home on leave. They later married
on Aug. 17, 1952. Lloyd spent one of his four years of service in Korea as a medic and was honorably discharged in November of 1954. Upon landing stateside, he attended Brown Institute in Minneapolis, Minn., to become a radio announcer and was employed in Yankton and Sioux Falls, S.D. Lloyd also became an insurance agent for State Farm and Allstate Insurance. Four children were born to Lloyd and Muriel between the years of 1955 and 1963. His family moved various times and enjoyed the country life with Appaloosa horse ranches and grade “A” dairies. Lloyd’s father was then living in Wahpeton operating Revier Bolt Co. Lloyd joined this business in 1975 and moved his family to Wahpeton where they resided until 1991. During this time, the family also traveled in a ministry team, Son Beams and managed a Christian bookstore by same name, as well as Country Lane, a western clothing/shoe store. Lloyd then began selling advertising for the Christian radio station, KCGN.
He and Muriel relocated to Morris, Minn., living there for the next 17 years. While in Morris, Lloyd also worked for the Pomme de Terre Golf Course, Stevens Community Medical Center and Hentjes Oil Company. At this time, Lloyd became very ill, so he and his wife, Muriel, moved back to Wahpeton to be closer to family. Lloyd quietly suffered for nearly two years while receiving excellent healthcare at SCMC in Morris, MeritCare Clinic in Wahpeton, and Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. His health gradually declined and was complicated after a recent fall. Lloyd joined the River Walk Neighborhood at the St. Francis Healthcare Campus in Breckenridge, where he spent the last month of his life.
During Lloyd’s life he enjoyed many different hobbies: radio control model airplanes, go-cart racing, golfing, baseball, electric trains, Appaloosa horses, gardening, fishing, flying as a private pilot, motorcycling and pitching softball until the age of 60. Above all, his family and love for the Lord were very dear to his heart.
Lloyd will be greatly missed by his family and all who called him friend. He had a gentle spirit and a desire to share the Lord’s love and forgiveness to all.
He is survived by: his wife, Muriel of Wahpeton; three sons, Mark (Marilyn) of Moorhead, Minn., Kevin (Leanne) of Courtenay, N.D., Scott (Pam) of Rochester; one daughter, Rachelle (Mitch) Pratt of Wahpeton; dear family friend, Judy (Todd) Bjerk of Mora, Minn.; two brothers, Jim of Scottsdale, Ariz., David (Noreen) of Coral Ridge, Iowa; one sister, Sue (Brad) Meland of Scottsdale; three sister-in-laws, Marilyn (Ray) Revier of Sioux Falls, S.D., Linda (Allen) Revier of Charlotte, N.C., Joan Christen (Arden) of Indianapolis, Ind.; 15 grandchildren, Kari, Jennifer, Jeremy, Mandy, Brandon, Danae, Nick, Cassie, Nate, Audra, Katherine, Troy, Seth, Cole, Danielle; four great-grandchildren, Criedence, Kaitlyn, Lucas, Faris; and many special nieces, nephews and cousins.
