     KEYSER, WV – Lloyd Michael McCarty, 71, one of the kindest and most gentle spirits departed this earth Sunday, December 2, 2018 at Western Maryland Health Systems.

     Born on September 6, 1947 in Monahans, Texas, he was the son of Ethel Marie (Leuckel) and the late Elmo Lloyd McCarty. In addition to his father, Lloyd was preceded in death by his sister, Colleen (McCarty) Donhoff and his sweet great nephew, Noel Edwards.

     Lloyd served our country in both the Army and the Navy. He attended the University of Texas in Arlington and earned several degrees in art and history. He became a talented sculptor. He worked many years with the Equestrian Forge in Leesburg, Virginia, performing restorations on historic homes and government buildings including the White House. One of his proudest accomplishments was his work on the monument the United States presented to Panama when control of the Suez Canal was transferred to that government in December 1999. Upon retirement in 2008 he moved to Keyser to be near family.
