Harold E. Floyd, 69, of Bradenton, Florida, went to be with the Lord on April 30, 2010.
He was born June 13, 1940, in Alapaha, Georgia, the son of the late Henry H. and Mary M. Floyd.
He was predeceased by grandson, Alex Michael Floyd. He is survived by his best friend and loving wife of 52 years, Mary Alyce. He is survived by his brother, Bill Floyd of Ocala, Florida.

Harold moved to the Manatee County area in 1941. He grew up in Samoset and was a 1958 graduate of Manatee County High School, where he excelled in both football and baseball.
He was active and instrumental in youth sports, coaching and mentoring numerous players over his coaching career. One of his coaching highlights was the 1997 Manatee East team, which finished 3rd at the Little League World Series.
He was a very talented lead guitar player and played with many bands during his life. Recently, he was the lead guitarist for the Gospel Jamboree band at Christian Retreat.
Those who knew 'Harry' knew him as a great friend, baseball coach, mentor and one heck of a 'guitar picker.'
