Lloyd David Forman

Lloyd David Forman, age 72, of Manassas, Virginia, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 30, at UVA Health Prince William Medical Center in Manassas. Since June, Lloyd had been a resident at Commonwealth Senior Living of Manassas, where he received care for advanced stages of dementia. Born in Washington, D.C. on December 1, 1952, Lloyd was the son of the late James Forman and Mildred Spain Forman Arnold. Lloyd graduated from Annandale High School in 1971, where his exceptional skills in soccer earned him a place as a Virginia State All Star. Though invited to join the state team, the timing coincided with the Vietnam War, and he was drafted before he could play. Lloyd chose to enlist in his preferred branch, serving honorably in the United States Marine Corps and earning an honorable discharge. After completing his military service, Lloyd moved to California for work, further his education and pursue his love for surfing. He attended Humboldt State and later transferred to the San Franciso Art Institute, earning his Bachelor of Arts degree. After completing his education, Lloyd returned to Virginia and embarked on a lifelong career as a Facilities Project Manager with TRW, later known as Northrop Grumman. His dedication and expertise were hallmarks of his professional life until his retirement in 2010. Following his formal retirement, Lloyd pursued his passion for craftsmanship by founding his own business, Lloyd’s Home and Garden. He continued to serve his neighborhood community through this endeavor until he retired fully in 2015. Lloyd was a gifted artist and gardener, and although family was his greatest joy, his love for plants, animals, nature, and soccer was a close second. He will be remembered for his quick wit, sense of humor, and his love of music and dance, always at the center of the dance floor at every wedding. Lloyd is survived by his wife of 34 years, Michele, and his sons: Austin Forman (Rachel) of Winchester, Virginia; Jacob Forman (Gui) of Washington, D.C.; and his beloved granddaughter, Ryleigh Mae. He is also survived by his sister, Gail Forman Carlton of Oxnard, California; brother, Glenn Forman of Tappahannock, Virginia; sister-in-law Harlee Charriere of Key West, Florida and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. In addition to his parents, Lloyd was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Roger Charriere, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. The family extends heartfelt appreciation to the Memory Care staff at Commonwealth Senior Living Manassas for their outstanding care and unwavering support during Lloyd’s final months. They are also deeply grateful to his devoted home caregivers, Nataly, Deisy, and Elda, whose compassion and dedication brought comfort and dignity to Lloyd and his loved ones. For those who wish to honor Lloyd’s memory, the family kindly requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be directed to the following organizations: • Alzheimer’s/Dementia Organization: https://www.alz.org/ • Nativity of Our Lord Orthodox Church, Manassas, Virginia: https://www.nativityorthodoxchurch.com/
