Erik Lloyd – who had served with the Metropolitan Police Department for nearly 30 years, died from coronavirus at University Medical Center on July 29, 2020. He was 53.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He worked to help the families of fellow Clark County police officers hurt or killed in the line of duty for more than 16 years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“Everyone knows Erik as the man that shows up when tragedy strikes, whether it’s injury or a death,” Will Huddler, chairman of the Las Vegas Police Managers and Supervisors Association, said before learning of Lloyd’s death. “And now, it’s just this awkward feeling for the agency and all of us that Erik is the one who needs help. He’s always been there to help us.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department, delivered as an Honor Guard led Lloyd’s body and a procession of police vehicles from the hospital to Palm Downtown Mortuary & Cemetery, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said the department “is a better agency for having Erik.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“He was the type of officer who represents all the values you want in a person,” Lombardo said in the statement. “He was hardworking, honest, kind, and generous with his time. He created a legacy outside of his work here at LVMPD, working to help people in their greatest time of grief.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Lloyd was born in Downey, California, and is survived by his wife of 22-years, Minddie, two daughters and five grandchildren, Metro said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Nevada Assemblyman Tom Roberts, who retired from Metro as assistant sheriff in 2018, shared news about Lloyd on Facebook.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“RIP Erik. God bless you and your family,” Roberts wrote. “Honor to know you and work with you all these years. You’ll be missed by so many.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Lloyd’s wife, who works as the judicial executive assistant to District Judge William Kephart, also contracted the virus and has since been released from the hospital, according to multiple sources. As the two battled the virus, the Police Wives of Southern Nevada launched a fundraiser to support the couple.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
