Willie Floyd Henderson, Sr.
July 7, 1938 – February 10, 2021
Mr. Willie Floyd Henderson, Sr., age 82 of McDonough, GA, peacefully entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, February 10, 2021.
Floyd was born to the late Willie Dee and Vera Henderson on July 7, 1938 in Atlanta, GA. He was raised in the Cabbagetown Community and attended school in the Atlanta area. Very proudly, Floyd completed his General Education and went on to pursue his own business endeavors. He owned and operated Henderson’s Transmission Service and also worked alongside his son at A-1 Transmissions in McDonough, GA until the time of his passing. As a NASCAR Official, Floyd traveled all around the country doing the work he enjoyed. He loved doing automotive work, spending time on the beach, and most importantly, spending quality time with his family. Floyd ultimately became an ordained Baptist minister who loved the Lord more than anything and lived to serve Him. He was a kind soul who always had an encouraging word for people and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
In addition to his parents, Willie Dee and Vera Henderson, Floyd was preceded in death by his loving wife of many years, Mrs. Brenda Joyce Henderson; his daughter, Ms. Sammie Dee Henderson; and several siblings. He leaves to cherish his memory one son, Mr. Willie Floyd Henderson, Jr.; two grandsons, Willie Floyd Henderson, III (Lauren) and Justin Samuel Henderson (Jessica); four grandsons, Jackson Lee, Barret Floyd, Trenten Samuel, and Easton John Henderson; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Long; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, church members and friends.
Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation on Saturday, February 13, 2021 from 3:00-7:00PM in the chapel of Horis A. Ward’s Funeral Home at 376 Fairview Road Stockbridge, GA 30281, where Floyd helped with and officiated many funerals throughout the years.
