Marion Wayne Floyd Marion Wayne Floyd, beloved husband, father, uncle, brother, and most importantly, PawPaw, passed away on Friday, February 21, 2025, at home, reuniting with his wife, Gloria. He was born on December 10, 1938, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Breland and Blanche Griffith Floyd, both of whom preceded him in death along with his siblings: Barbara Mink, Breland “Beau” Floyd and Steve Floyd, and brother-in-law, Robert “Doe” Beggs. Wayne married the love of his life, Gloria Jean Floyd, on May 1, 1959, who preceded him in death. Together, they raised two children: Brenda Erwin, who also preceded him in death, and Robert Floyd. Wayne dedicated his life to providing for his family, first as a carpenter, then as a crane operator, and later as a truck driver, a career he loved. He often spoke of his joy in being on the open road, visiting new places, and experiencing amazing things. Wayne was a proud Master Mason with over 63 years of membership in Bloomfield #112 Lodge, and a member of First United Methodist Church in Terrell. His hobbies included reading, watching sports, especially NASCAR, and cheering on his beloved Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers. He also enjoyed fishing and loved spending time with his family, frequently attending his grandchildren’s athletic events to show his unwavering love and support. Wayne is survived by five grandchildren: Ryan Erwin and wife Kristy, Amanda Erwin, Vanessa Bryant and husband David, Jesse Floyd and wife Lauren, and Dylan Floyd and wife Jessica; seven great-grandchildren: Gage and Gentry Erwin, Kora Bryant, Brookelynn Floyd, Chloe Floyd, Jackson Wayne Floyd, and Isabel Floyd; his son-in-law Ricky Erwin; daughter-in-law Lourdes Mott and husband Clint; adopted son Eddie Porter and wife Vivian, and their children Dominique and Jewel; brother-in-law, Harold Mink; sisters-in-law, Barbara Beggs, Ann Floyd and BJ Floyd, and many other extended family members and friends. Wayne poured his heart and soul into his family, and the void left by his passing is immeasurable. The family will receive friends and visitors beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at Max Slayton Funeral Chapel, with funeral services to follow at 2:00 p.m. Interment will be at Oakland Memorial Park in Terrell, Texas.
