LLOYD DAVIS FINK

Smithville, Mo.

Lloyd Davis Fink of Smithville, Mo., passed away peacefully on Sunday, Aug. 1, 2021, surrounded by his family. He was 78 years old.

Lloyd was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Jan. 25, 1943. He graduated from Marion High School, in Marion, Iowa in 1961. Lloyd married Donna (Prull) Fink in Monticello, Iowa, in 1963; they celebrated their 58th anniversary in June. Lloyd had a long career in computer programming for several employers, including as a civilian contractor for the military.

Lloyd is survived by his wife, Donna of Smithville, Mo.; his daughter, Donnell (Fink) Dainty of Indianola, Iowa; his son, Darin Fink (Dana) of Kansas City, Mo.; his grandchildren, Dyllan Adams of Kansas City, Mo., Darcy Dainty of Indianola, Iowa, Jordan Fink of Englewood, Colo., and Joshua Fink of Smithville, Mo.; and his sisters, Nancy Winter, Brenda Vaverka and Jolene Kacin.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Darcy; and his parents, Lester and Dorothy Fink.

Lloyd was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend. He loved the outdoors, be it hunting, fishing or spending time boating on the lake. A favorite activity was pulling grandchildren around Smithville Lake on an innertube. He also loved to smoke meats and was renowned for his smoked brisket. This facilitated his love for large family meals that were followed by hours sitting around the table laughing and telling stories. His great sense of humor and wry smile will be missed by all who knew him.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Sept. 17, at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Monticello, Iowa.
