LLOYD SLABACH

Kalona

Lloyd E. Slabach, 67, was called home to be with the Lord on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2015, in Spring Hill, Tenn.

Lloyd was a born again believer whose greatest desire was to glorify God with his life. He was a loving husband, a beloved son and brother and a true friend.

Lloyd was born Aug. 4, 1947, in Kokomo, Ind., the son of Edwin and Nona (Miller) Slabach. He graduated from Iowa Mennonite School and attended Eastern Mennonite College. Lloyd was united in marriage to Karen Mullet on Dec. 31, 1971. They spent the first several years of their life together farming in Blountstown, Fla. Involvement with Slabach Construction then took them to Kalona for 17 years. Semi retirement in 1988 brought a move to Montana to pursue other interests which included farming. In 2000, a new business opportunity took them to Florida to assist with the launch of Integrity Nutraceuticals International. The company later relocated to Spring Hill, Tenn.

Lloyd is survived by his loving wife, Karen (Mullet) Slabach of Columbia, Tenn.; and six siblings, Herman Slabach of Kalona, Elsie Lewis of Jacksonville, Fla., Freeman Slabach of Sarasota, Fla., David Slabach and his wife, Beverly, of Kalona, Norma Slabach of Sarasota, Fla., and Kathy Bender and her husband, David, of Sarasota, Fla.; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister-in-law, Sonya Slabach.
