Floyd was a faithful servant and active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in various church callings, but his favorite was as a scout master. He had a passion for the scriptures that was only equaled by his love for family.

He also owned a saw-sharpening and door-hanging business. He enjoyed ballroom and square dancing with his sweetheart. He also loved gardening, farming, raising animals, and hard work. He loved mincemeat pie, eggnog, wheat berries, and honey. Floyd was an early riser. He was always up and meeting the paperboy by 4:00 a.m.

Floyd is survived by his children, Gary S. Maw, Valerie M. Barker, AnnaLee (Jerry) Olsen, Joyce M.
