Floyd Ray Nye

Dear cousins Karla, Ann, Lorenzo, Sharon, and families, I am saddened to learn of Floyd's illness and passing. He was always kind to me, and I remember his great smile. He will be missed. May you be blessed and comforted in the days and years to come.

My dear cousin Karla, I feel your loss, as we all lost an amazing man. I remember him always greeting me at family reunions & his smile. Always glad to see the two of you, made coming home such a warm feeling. 1 of the 3 Floyd's that I keep close in my life. You know the other 2. Loving memories & prayers to you.

What a great man he was. Always meet you with a smile and a welcoming handshake. His kindness touched me deeply and I will never forget him. Prayers for the family going through this tough time.

Dear Karla and Family, Our hearts are hurting for you, and for the loss of Floyd, who is gone too soon. May God be with you and guide you that you can find some peace and promise that he will always be with you. The memories you have will be kept in your hearts forever. As you go through these difficult days ahead of you, may you reflect on those beautiful memories. Floyd is a shining star in heaven, and was a shining star here on earth. Love to all of you.

Ann and Sharon We are so sorry for you for the loss of your brother. Bob and Tinia Drennan

I was very sad to hear that Floyd had passed away. I worked with him at Kraft and he was always very kind and upstanding. He will be greatly missed.

Floyd was a big part of my growing up years in the neighborhood. I remember Floyds family moved from Cody Wyoming. Bud worked for Gibbons & Reed Construction building roads. I remember Bud was hauling a bulldozer on a low boy trailer and lost control of his truck. Bud told Floyd to open the door and jump when he told him to go! The binder chains came loose, and the bulldozer came partially of the trailer stopping the truck. I remember they first lived in a blue and white trailer on the property in Murray on third east until Bud built the house, they lived in. I remember when Floyd broke his arm. I remember Floyd moved to Barstow California for about one year, Bud was building roads again. I remember when Floyd moved back, he was playing the trumpet. I remember Floyds dog SHORTY; he would howl when he played the trumpet. I remember Floyds magpie bird he kept behind the house. That bird loved ground beef. Floyd tried to teach it to talk to no avail. I remember the Beat Nick party Ercel had in the basement for Floyd and all his neighborhood friends, with the Wet Paint sign by the back door that glowed in the dark. I remember we made ice cream using a manual crank machine. I remember Floyd had his cousin sit on the machine to keep it from moving while we all took a turn cranking. I remember Floyd played first base on our little league baseball team. I remember we won four and lost fourteen! I cried when we lost, Floyd just kept smiling. I remember practicing base ball in the back yard and hitting Ann in the teeth with the bat. I remember he played offensive tight end on the high school football team. For some reason they always passed the ball to the other guy. I remember cutting Floyds hair in Jim’s barber shop when he returned home from the army. I remember Floyds 1960 Red and White Plymouth Fury, the cat’s meow. All my memories of Floyd are happy ones. May his memory continue to be a blessing to Karla and his family.
