Floyd was born on June 14, 1930 in San Augustine Texas. He also lived in Houston, Tomball and Navasota. While enlisted in the Air Force, he worked on the first telefax machines in use.

He enjoyed helping strangers, friends and family consistently and without hesitation.

His daughter Jean-Ann and son-in-law Robert; grandaughters Jeannine Cole, Sarah Smith, Londyn Lanning and Chloe Lanning; sisters Dorothy Kelley, Kathryn McCauley, Peggy Shannon, Lucille Calk and brothers Sam and Joe Higginbotham remain to cherish his memories.

He is delighted to reunite with his wife, Jo Beth Cooper Higginbotham; sons David, James and Leroy; grandsons Mark and Matthew, and many others who have gone before.
