Denver resident, Mr. David A. Floyd, 72, was surrounded by his loving family when he passed away at 6:45 AM on Thursday, March 23, 2023 at his residence.
On August 22, 1950, David Allen Floyd was born in Rochester. He was the treasured son of Lester and Chloe G. Walker Floyd. Growing up he shared his childhood with five sisters and one brother. Proudly, David graduated with the Class of 1969 from North Miami High School.
In Macy, David and Kathy Ann Stahl were married on December 10, 1971. They shared 48 years of life’s adventures. Sadly, she passed away on November 11, 2019. Their union produced two wonderful children, Courtney and David. Another generation has been added to the family tree with the blessings of two grandsons.
As an engineer, David was dedicated to the Norfolk and Southern Railroad for over 40 years, retiring in 2007. Grandpa looked forward to greeting and picking up the boys every day after school. He was their chauffer and cheerleader, always seated in the bleachers at their sporting events supporting all of their endeavors. An avid sports enthusiast, David loved to watch the Chicago Cubs, the Indianapolis Colts and IU basketball. Working outside and taking pride with his lawn and landscape, David mowed and manicured his lawn to perfection. After retirement he used his expertise to help friends and neighbors with their lawns. As a free and accepted mason, David was a member of the Lincoln Lodge # 523 of Macy.
