Henry was born in Brownfield, TX on March 19, 1939, to the late Owen Franklin Floyd and

Eunice Anderson Floyd. Henry graduated from Loop High School. He was drafted into the

military and honorably served with the US Army while stationed at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas and

Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah.

After returning home he married the love of his life, Glyda Faye (Langehennig) Floyd and

remained a devoted husband for more than 56 years until her death in 2021. Henry and Glyda

Faye had two sons, Owen and Chad. He was a loving and committed father, tirelessly supporting

his sons in all their endeavors throughout their lives.

Henry had a career with Amerada Hess as a lease operator for approximately 30 years. Upon

retiring at age 55 from the oil field, he went back to work for his brother-in-law’s concrete

company.

Henry had many talents and hobbies. He inherited a love for music from his father and carried

on the tradition of playing fiddle, mandolin and guitar with family and friends. He was an avid

gardener and loved camping with his family in the Colorado mountains.

Henry was a man of integrity who exhibited a quiet strength. His love for Jesus was evidenced

by his kindness, gentle spirit and willingness to lend a helping hand to those in need. He will be

greatly missed by his family and friends but as followers of Jesus Christ we look forward to

reuniting in Heaven one day.

Henry was preceded in death by his parents and loving wife. He is survived by his sons Owen
