Mr. Loyd Wilbert Fick, 101, of Metropolis, passed away on Thursday, July 29, 2021 at Southgate Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Metropolis.

Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 1st, 2021 at the Aikins-Farmer-Loftus-McManus Funeral Home in Metropolis with Chaplin Brent Easton officiating. Burial will follow in Metropolis Memorial Gardens.

He was born in rural Massac County on August 24, 1919, one of seven children. In 1940 he married Dorothy Fuqua and had two sons, Robert and Charles Wayne.

Loyd worked for 29 years at the Good Luck Glove Factory while buying, selling and hauling livestock and trading horses. Later on, he worked at Souders Livestock sale barn and Allied Chemical in Metropolis. After retiring, he enjoyed fishing and mostly collecting cast iron horse drawn implement seats, acquiring a very large collection. Loyd was a member of the Weaver Creek Baptist Church in Metropolis.

Loyd was a kind-hearted man that never spoke ill of anyone. In past ten years, he resided in an assisted living and two nursing homes. Not once did he complain or speak a cross word about a facility or healthcare worker. In fact, he enjoyed their company and loved each and every one of them. The family would especially like to thank the healthcare workers at Southgate for the exceptional care and friendship they provided to Loyd.

Loyd is survived by his son, Robert and wife Terry of Grand Chain; daughter-in-law, Rosa Lee Fick of Grand Chain; two grandchildren, Rachel Rhoades (Andy) of Johnston City, IL and Stephen Fick (Lisa) of Leavenworth, KS; three great grandchildren, Laura Vaughn (Raymond) and Emily English (Dustin) of Metropolis and Tyler Fick of Leavenworth, KS; great-great grandson, Noah Vaughn; one sister, Mary Alice Collins (Noel) of Bruce, MS; one brother, John of Vienna, IL; one sister-in-law, Vanda Lee Fick of Paducah, KY; several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ray and Lydia Hinners Fick; one son, Charles Wayne; two wives, Dorothy Fuqua and Eva Davis; three sisters, Verna Gurley, Freda Fuqua and Lowanda Farris; one brother, Edward Fick; and special friend, Ruth Metcalf.

Visitation will be from 1:00 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 1st at the funeral home.
