He had been a resident at the Crawford Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center in Van Buren, Arkansas, under the Peachtree Hospice since December, 2008.
Terry was a man who loved to have fun with his family. He loved fishing, hunting, camping, and anything that included family or the outdoors. His fun loving ways endeared him to everyone he met. Most of all, he loved Jesus Christ and dedicated his life to tell everyone the good news of the Gospel.
Terry was born at the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Virginia, on March 21, 1938. The twin son of a Naval Officer, the Floyds called home wherever the U.S. Navy took them.

He received his DTh from Mid-American Baptist Theological Seminary in 1979 and served as pastor of churches in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Florida. Due to the onset of the brain disease, he retired in September, 2000. As his health permitted, he continued to serve the Lord and minister to those in need.
