Charles Floyd Hastings, Jr. passed away February 26, 2021, 92 years from the date of his birth. He was born, February 26, 1929 to Charles F. Hastings, Sr. and Ada Lilliam Hastings (Runge) in Lime, CO and grew up on his family’s farm on Burnt Mill Rd. He married his wife, Lila Mae Kiner August 4, 1950 in Pueblo, CO, who preceded him in death Dec. 4, 2010. Floyd honorably served his country in the U.S. Army from Feb. 26, 1951 to February 26, 1953, during the Korean War. After his service to his country, Floyd worked at the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company (CF & I) Steel Mill in Pueblo for over 30 years and also managed to farm 300 + acres in Wetmore, CO. Later in life, Floyd and Lila sold the big farm and moved to a 10 acre parcel in Penrose, CO where he continued to farm and tinker until his passing. Floyd found his 2nd family with the members of the 1st Southern Baptist Church in Florence, CO, and could always be found dishing ice cream to parade patrons during the Penrose Apple Day Festival as a member of the Penrose Senior Center. It always brought a smile to his face to see the happiness in others, and always loved the potluck get-togethers at both his church and the Senior Center. Floyd was also preceded in death by his parents; his brothers Frederick Eugene Hastings, Elwin Lloyd Hastings, and a sister, Clara Juanita Hastings. He is survived by his sister Lauretta May Hastings Ayers of Clovis, NM; Daughter B. Colleen Nussear; Son Charles “Chuck” (Ann) Hastings; 4 Grandchildren Suzi (Jeff) Gill, William “Bill” (Kim) Hastings, Joseph Hastings, Amanda (Dee) Murphey and several great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren and good friends.
