R.I.P Mr.Floyd.

Heather, Cameron, Caris, Yeffren, and the entire Floyd family:

We, Brock Adams' family, are sending you our heartfelt sympathy. Your father / grandfather meant so much to so many people and was loved and admired by many including our family. So kind and thoughtful of others; he never hesitated to lend a helping hand. His generosity was a blessing to all. We will always be honored not only for knowing him, but for his visits, help, and attendance at our Adams family reunions. He once created the graphics for the reunion t-shirts, and also did a special t-shirt for our Dad on one of his bithdays. He attended many of our celebrations. In honor of our dad he created a beautiful standing-wooden image of him for a Brock Adams' Day celebration. Please know that each one of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Know that Mr. Floyd's kindness and generosity has not gone unnoticed by any of us but most importantly by his Heavenly Father. Keep your faith in God and allow him to comfort you during your time of sorrow.

With much love, many precious memories, and loving thoughts from Brock Adams' daughters and the Adams family.

To Thomas and family; So sorry for your loss. Marion and Kim Brewton

My most treasured memories of Carver Middle School Include this wonderful soul. Mr. Floyd cared about our future and making sure his students understood our history , acknowledged our talents and most importantly that we all knew we had a place in the future. His kindness and compassion were unparalleled.

Heather my heart goes out to you and the family during your time of grief. Saville Williams

We know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal, Heather, Dawn and Thomas you are in our prayers. Lois Johnson and family

Heather, Cameron and Karis,

My Condolences To The Family

Linda Askari & Family

Mr Floyd was a dear friend to me as well as a respected and talented educator and artist. I was at the main library when he was recognized for doing the illustrations for trotting Sally. I worked in the office of carver Jr high. '74. - 77. My deepest sympathy is extended to the family. B Joyce washington

Mr. Floyd was my 8th grade art teacher. He was very inspiring and I loved his art work. After I lived in Atlanta for 33 years and returned to Spartanburg, I met Mr. Floyd at Silver Hill Church. He remembered me from his classroom and that was awesome to know. I will never forget Mr. Floyd. He was always s caring and gentle man. He was my favorite teacher of all. My condolences to the Family. Barbara Jefferies Rutledge

My best bud for over sixty years. During our Claflin yrs, he in art and I in music, worked closely, even doing our practice teaching in Sumpter, SC.

Sending warm and loving condolences to the FLOYD family. With heartfelt sympathy. Gertrude (Panky) & Larry Campbell, Peggy Ruffin

Mr. and Mrs. Floyd were two incredible people who had a positive impact on my life and the lives of many others. Mrs. Floyd's dedication to her students as a guidance counselor, administrator, teacher, and parent is genuinely admirable, and it's clear that she cared deeply about the well-being and success of her students at the former Park Hills Elementary School. Mr. Floyd's passion for art and his calm demeanor in the classroom at Carver Jr. High School were inspiring and reassuring to his students. Throughout the years, they both checked on me to ensure that I was on the right path to success. I will surely miss them, but their legacy will live on in the memories of those whose lives they touched.

Dr. Patrick Suber

Celebrate the life of patriarch of the Floyd family. Our sincerest condolences Dawn. He taught me & he was a man of integrity. Dwayne & Michelle Byrd

My sincerest condolences to the family of Ramond Floyd. I was in his very first class at Carver in 1963. He was a gentle genius. Since we lived about 5 minutes away from each other, we kept in touch on and off for the past 15 years or so, either over the phone, in Ingles, or when my wife and I visited Silver Hill, or at his home (where he critiqued some of my paintings). The gentle genius who taught and positively influenced so, so many was and is truly, memmorably loved. Chucky Frank Wilkins and Family

Mr. Floyd was a wonderful, devoted and inspiring teacher, friend and a true Christian. There are so many things anyone can say about Mr. Floyd that would put a smile on your face. We are sad about his passing. What a wonderful joy to have known him and know he is present with God Our Father. God did truly smile on him. A magnificent, talented creative artistic icon of the State of South Carolina and especially in the upstate at Carver and Spartanburg High Schools. The Artist and a Man of God will be missed.
