He was a devoted husband and father and an avid wrestler. His love for wrestling was so real. When he was in character, you did not dare call him his given name. He was Bubba Gene Huskey, and don’t you forget it!Those who knew him knew him to be ornery and funny but a caring and loving person.

Floyd will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.Survivors include his wife, Amber Briggs;  children, Eli Briggs, Sierra Briggs, and Bryan Ramey;  and father, Richard Huskey.He was preceded in death by his father, Floyd F. Briggs, and mother, Carrow Lynn Briggs.
