The Tehachapi News 
Lloyd Leo Dyke 
July 26, 1923 — Aug. 9, 2004

Lloyd Dyke, 81, passed away at his home on Monday, Aug. 9, following 
complications from a stroke. His children, grandchildren and great-
grandchildren were at his side when he died.

Lloyd was born on July 26, 1923, in Quinton, Okla. He served in World War II 
in the Army Air Corps from 1943 to 1945. He also worked for the Operating 
Engineers for many years before retiring. 

Lloyd married his wife of 61 years, Betty Lou (Bankhead) Dyke, on April 14, 
1943. They lived most of their life in Mojave, North Edwards and Boron. 

Mr. Dyke is survived by his wife, Betty, of North Edwards; children, Leroy and 
Lynda Dyke (Michigan), Janie and Ted Smith (Tehachapi), Linda and Rick Peters 
(Edwards), Edith (Cookie) and Brian Shapiro (Idaho), and Ethel Dyke (No. 
Edwards). Lloyd is also survived by 15 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren 
and one great-great-grandchild. Lloyd also has one surviving sister, Ethel 
Souza, of Mojave. 

Most people knew him as “Horsetrader.” He loved to trade cars, musical 
instruments and just about anything else he could. He enjoyed his hobby, and 
his family has many memories of his trading days. 

Lloyd was a Christian man who loved to play worship music. He was an 
accomplished guitar player and loved to perform for convalescent hospitals 
alongside his wife Betty. His love for Jesus showed in everything he did. 

A graveside service was held on Friday, Aug. 13, at 10 a.m. at the Mojave 
Cemetery. Rev. Grant Frye officiated the service.
