He graduated from Muskogee High School in 1943 and entered the Army, serving in the South Pacific until 1946. Returning to Muskogee, Floyd married Helen Cowan on April 17, 1947.

In later years, Floyd became a member of Church of the Servant UMC, actively participating in the Parakletos Sunday School

His life long commitment and desire to take care of family and friends, his quiet charm and his wisdom will be greatly missed. He lived his life the way all men should; with the utmost honor and integrity. He was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, his parents and his brother.
