Floyd grew up and attended school in Mansfield. He met his wife, Melanie, in 2006 and reunited in 2013 and they celebrated their anniversary every Sep. 1. In 2018, Floyd and Melanie moved to their country home north of Mountain Grove. Family was everything to Floyd. Most of his conversations were about his wife and children. His best friends were his sons. He loved spending the day kicked back watching movies with the boys.
