Lloyd Martin Laytart, age 72, passed away peacefully at Fox Run Assisted Living, Findlay, Ohio on November 5, 2021.  Lloyd was born February 5, 1949 in McComb, Ohio to the late Theodore and Helen (Wilhelm) Laytart. 

Lloyd graduated from Bowling Green High School in 1967, a year after his beloved Westwood High School closed.  He spent the next 25 years of his life at General Motors Powertrain in Defiance, OH, retiring at the age of 43.

Lloyd is survived by his daughters:  Melissa (Jason) Brinkman of Bowling Green, Ohio, Kristy (Doug) Schweingruber of Bluffton, Ohio and Tonya (Trent) Van Fossen of Circleville, Ohio and his seven grandchildren:  Kylie and Ashley Brinkman, Makayla, Jordan and Addison Schweingruber and Alexis and Caden Van Fossen.
