Floyd was raised on a farm and loved farming and ranching which he continued until his death. He was a self taught man who tried many avenues to make a living for his family. He assessed land for taxes, installed telephone poles and lines, did D8 caterpillar work, welded, built and dismantled buildings, sheared sheep, hauled hay and ran a herd of cattle for more than sixty years.
Floyd was always eager to volunteer in his community. He was always there to help friends, family and strangers that crossed his path. Floyd had a very strong work ethic and taught this to his family. He influenced and taught many young men the same good values. He loved to hunt, hike, ride horses, swim in the river, camp and quad at the family cabin. Travel became a highlight as he toured around the world with friends and family. He was never too old for new adventures like ziplining in Mexico, deep sea fishing and parasailing.
Floyd was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and participated by giving service in many areas of which scouting was one of his favorites.
The most important thing to Floyd was his family. He was a friend to all.
