Lloyd “Chuck” Pickard

September 29, 1925 ~ October 25, 2024

It is with great sadness we report that long time Vero Beach resident Lloyd “Chuck” Pickard passed away on Oct. 25 at the age of 99.
Chuck was married to his wife Lorraine for over 68 years and had one son, Chuck Pickard Jr. and daughter in law Leighellen, also of Vero Beach.
Chuck had an incredibly interesting life. He was a U.S. Combat Marine in WWII, serving in the Pacific, a Forestry Major at Massachusetts State, Stockbridge, a U.S. Forest Service Smokejumper in Missoula Mt., owned and operated a boys camp in Montana, served as a Ft. Lauderdale Police Detective Sgt., and was the owner of a Private Investigative Agency. Throughout his life he stayed active with projects for himself and others and was engaged with current events until his death.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
