Lloyd D. Hays went home to be with his Lord, Jesus Christ, on 
November 27, 2007, at the age of 78 years. He was born to Cletis 
Daniel and Willa Kennimer Hays on November 21, 1929 in Hobart, Okla. 
He grew up in Flint, Mich. After serving honorably in the U.S. Air 
Force for three years during the Korean War, he attended Michigan 
State University for 20 consecutive quarters, earning his Bachelors, 
Masters, and Ph.D. in the field of Philosophy. After teaching in both 
Christian colleges and secular universities (including Southern 
Oregon College in the late 60s), he retired in 1979.

Lloyd is survived by his wife, Lorraine, of 45 years; his brother, 
William Carl Hays of Flushing, Mich.; his sister, Nancy Hays of 
Avalon, Calif.; and nephews, Daniel and David Hays; niece, Cheri 
Hays; four grand-nephews and one grand-niece, all of Michigan. He was 
preceded in death by his parents.

Lloyd enjoyed following his Alma Mater's football and basketball 
teams. He also enjoyed camping and reading, especially the Bible 
which he read through numerous times. He was frequently heard to 
personalize his favorite verse, Acts 16:31 - "Believe on the Lord 
Jesus Christ and you will be saved."

A memorial service will be held December 8th at the Ashland First 
Baptist Church, 2004 Siskiyou Blvd., Ashland, OR at 2:00 p.m. In lieu 
of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the above church.
