Lloyd Dagit

July 18, 1938 - May 18, 2017

Lloyd Dagit Jefferson, Iowa Date of Death: May 18, 2017 Funeral services for Lloyd Dagit, 78, of Jefferson, will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at First Baptist Church in Jefferson. Interment will be at Dawson Twp. Cemetery near Paton. The family will visit with friends from 5:00 – 8:00pm Sunday, May 28, 2017 at Slininger-Schroeder Funeral Home, Jefferson. Lloyd Earl Dagit was born July 18, 1938 in Pekin, Illinois to Titus and Ethel (Mullins) Dagit. He had three older siblings: Iva Jo, Wilma, and Ray. When Lloyd was three years old, they moved to a farm outside of Paton, Iowa near Ethel’s father. Lloyd attended rural school and later the Paton town school. On April 18, 1959, Lloyd married Gloria Scroggins. To this union six children were born: Randy, Daniel, Brian, Keven, Kecia, and Teresa. The family lived in several locations while Lloyd worked in various different jobs. When Ideal Manufacturing closed, Lloyd started his own moving business called Dagit’s Moving. Transporting people’s possessions took him to nearly every state in the union. He also had the Trading Post Store in Jefferson, and went to auctioneering school. He operated Dagit Auction Service in Jefferson. He especially loved the moving and auctioning. Lloyd loved his church, First Baptist Church, in Jefferson. He took three months off from his moving business to help build the current First Baptist Church building in 1989. He knew just about everything about the building and church practices. When a question came up that others couldn't answer, the response was, “Ask Lloyd.” He enjoyed deer hunting and cooking all parts of the animal in different ways. He loved to cook the heart, tongue, liver, etc., and serve it to people and not tell them what it was! He liked experimenting with anything. He’d bring home the results of his experiments to Gloria and loved to see her reactions. If a particular experiment failed, it would quickly go in the trash and no one else would know. Lloyd’s greatest joy came from his family: sharing and watching all of them grow into fine adults. Lloyd loved spending time at his building, it was his second home. He spent countless hours tinkering at the building. The family joked that Lloyd lived at the building and slept at the house, but we all knew he even napped at the building. The family has some peace knowing he died doing what he loved and where he loved to be. Lloyd Dagit died May 18, 2017 at the age of 78 years. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters Patty and Wilma; brother-in-law Eugene Muir; three of his children—Daniel Craig, Kecia Gay, and Keven Kim; and a grandson, Jason. Survivors include his wife, Gloria Dagit of Jefferson, IA; two sons: Randy (Carolyn) Dagit of Bentonville, Ark; Brian (Karen) Dagit of Rogers Ark; daughter: Teresa (Chad) Lansman of Grand Junction, IA; 10 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; a brother, Ray Dagit of Paton, IA; a sister, Iva Jo Muir of Rippey, IA; other relatives and friends. Memorials for the family may be left at Slininger-Schroeder Funeral Home, Jefferson.
