Lilard was born on June 22, 1939, in Wilkes County, NC to the late Lilard Lunsford and Ennis Johnson Jarvis. He worked for most of his life as a truck driver. Lilard was known to always be quick with a joke and had the sweetest smile. He loved watching Westerns, playing his guitar and singing, and was always a real “ladies’ man”. Above everything, he loved his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His family was his pride and joy. Along with his parents and siblings, he is preceded in death by his late wife, Virginia Jarvis; and two sons, Timothy Lilard Jarvis, and Roger Wayne Jarvis.

Lilard is survived by two daughters, Sandy New and husband, James, and Debbie New and husband, Rick; a daughter-in-law, Christy Jarvis; stepdaughter, Christine Carter; five grandchildren, Jamie Brenner and husband, Ray, Jessica Patton, Jennifer Bunton, Justin New and wife, Allison, and Reese Jarvis; and seven great grandchildren, Tyler, Ryan, and Austin Brenner, Gracie Patton, Trevor Bunton, and Landon and Sawyer New.
