Loyd Cecil Strunk

Having fought the good fight and finished his race, Loyd Cecil Strunk, 81, went to be with his Lord, Jesus Christ, on March 22, 2024. Everyone who knew Cecil knew how much he cared about others and worked to provide for their wellbeing. He gave decades of his life in service to our community, committed to helping those most in need. This was demonstrated through a variety of careers, but his work as a paramedic was closest to his heart. In this, we saw him fulfill God’s two greatest commandments (Matthew 22: 37-40).

Left to remember his life is his son and daughter-in-law Gregory and Cheryl Strunk of Winfield, TN; his son and daughter-in-law Douglas and Sheri Strunk of Weatherford, TX; his grandchildren Megan Strunk, Leland Strunk, Brianna Strunk, Catherine Strunk, Amanda Hancock, Krystal Brown; his brother-in-law Michael Burchfield of Lakeland, FL and brother-in-law and sister-in-law Steve and Tammie Burchfield of Huntsville, TN; aunts Edna Sexton, Joice Chitwood, and Rosey Strunk, many cousins, including Jim and Faye Strunk, Lee and Michelle Strunk, Donald and Almeda Peavyhouse, Bill Strunk, Bob and Kim Strunk, Troy and Michelle Strunk, Don and Eileen Strunk, and many other loving family members including Paul David and Shawn Burchfield, Troy and Vanessa Burchfield, Melissa and Melvin Jeffers, Emily Burchfield, Kevin and Sandy Byrd, Richard and Crystal Byrd, Marlon and Caren Byrd, Konrad and Corrine Birchfield, Bridget and Mark Hodges, Margaret and Thomas Larsen, Stasha and John Strunk, Courtney and Casey Adkins, Katelyn Burchfield and Adam Boone Baldwin, great-grandchildren Madysen Brown, Savannah Brown, John Foulks, Victoria Foulks, Alex Foulks, and his “third son” and fishin’ buddy Daniel Terry.

He was preceded in death by his wonderful wife of 58 years, Judith Strunk, his parents Gilbert and Pearl Strunk, uncles Raymond Strunk, Goldman Strunk, Hobert Strunk, Hurstle Strunk, Caleb Sexton, aunt Estelle King, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Sue and DL Byrd, sister-in-law Maleia Reed, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Virgil and Phoebe Birchfield, brother-in-law John Burchfield, and sister-in-law, Mary Burchfield.

The family will receive guests at the New Haven Baptist Church on Thursday, March 28, 2024, from 10 am to 12 pm. Memorial service will be held at 12 pm with gravesite services to follow at the Walnut Grove Memorial Cemetery in Winfield, TN.
