STOUGHTON - DeWayne Gordon (“Buck,” “Buck Shot” “Dewey”) Lloyd, age 90, of Stoughton, passed away on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024, at Skaalen Nursing and Rehabilitation. He was born on Feb. 2, 1934, in Neillsville, the son of Byno and Mary (Pretsch) Lloyd.


DeWayne graduated from Neillsville High School in 1953 and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.  He worked as a machine operator for Uniroyal, retiring in 1998.


He was a life member of Veterans of Foreign Wars Mother Post No. 328 and VFW Cooties Organization.  DeWayne enjoyed supporting the VFW and his fellow veterans.  He held multiple officer positions and volunteered for many years working at Bingo, Smelt Feeds, Chicken Dinners, Poppy distributions and much more.  He also enjoyed spending time with his friend, Patrick Nowlin.


DeWayne loved the Green Bay Packers and enjoyed attending Wisconsin Badgers football games, traveling to see the Milwaukee Brewers in Milwaukee and Chicago, deer hunting in his woods, especially with his dad, family and best friend, Harley Kinnemon.  He loved being with his family.  He attended all the holiday meals and especially enjoyed the birthday parties.


One of his favorite memories was getting to go to Washington DC on the Badger Honor Flight with his son, Bob.  He especially enjoyed seeing the Korean War Memorial and Mail Call.

I spent many a Sunday chatting and sipping a cold one with Dewey at the VFW, while watching the Packers play. He always had a smile, a kind word and a funny joke. Thank you for your service, to this great nation and the local VFW. RIP Dewey.....

When I attended my first VFW 328 meeting after transferring in, Dewey was the first member to introduce himself. He was friendly and loved to laugh and kid around. I took pictures at the post a lot. Dewey was never hard to find, always volunteering. I hope it's OK with the family if I post some of the ones I have.
