Floyd was a 1962 graduate of Jamesport High School in Jamesport, Missouri and worked in Construction in the Kansas City area.  He moved to Mt.

Floyd is survived by his wife of 56 years, Jaunita; one daughter, Cindy Shortt and her husband, Curtis, of Ash Grove, Missouri; one son, Mike Thompson of Fayette, Missouri; four grandsons, Deryk and Trevor Thompson and their mother, Kathy Thompson, and Cody and Colton Miller; two brothers, Duane Thompson and his wife, Beverly, of Chillicothe, Missouri and Forrest Thompson and his wife, Donna, of Stotts City, Missouri; three sisters, Virginia Mason, Nina Smith and her husband, Gary, and Charlene Armitage and her husband, Vernon, all of the Kansas City area and many nieces, nephews and friends.
He loved his family and working on the farm.  He was always there when someone needed help.  The cross that stands along I-44 near Mt. Vernon, is a testimony to his love for his Savior Jesus Christ.
