Mr. Lloyd Leon Neroes, Sr. (TC) was born, June 4, 1949 in Los Angeles, California to the parents of the late Ira and Alma T. (Briggs) Neroes. To this union, seven loving children were born.

Along with his parents and siblings, Lloyd later moved to Terrell, Texas. He accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Bethlehem Baptist Church, Terrell, Texas.

While serving his country he fought in the Vietnam War, where he was a part of the 4th Infantry Division and was later honorably discharged after 3 years of service.

Thereafter, Lloyd returned to Dallas, Texas, which is where he met his soulmate and the love of his life, Diane Kelly. On June 8, 1974, Lloyd and Diane Kelly joined hands in holy matrimony.
