Floyd was my fraternity big brother who inspired me as a young man to enter the major of Economics Finance. Floyd was a super intelligent individual who also inspired me to join his fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha, Mu Beta Chapter, University of Tennessee at Martin. I followed Floyd outstanding career which expanded and inspired individuals to be financially savvy to gain knowledge in wealth management for the betterment of mankind. Floyd exemplified the character structure to teach, educate and inspire others to hold faith, and goodness in our Almighty creator which will feed our soul full of joy, happiness and prosperity. Rest in peace my brother, you will be truly missed. Fraternal Love, Mark A. Newbill

Floyd was a special person in many ways; glad our paths crossed a couple of years ago. Tough but fair; always prepared and thoughtful. A good board member that any organization would like to have. I wish I had known him longer; it was clear to me that he had some loves in his life including his daughter and his fiancé. Our community will miss him. Mike Edwards

I have lost a great friend and the world has lost an amazing person. I will always remember the love and pride he had when speaking of his daughter, Rian. My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and loved him. - Tampia Tate Jones
