A private Celebration of life / Memorial service will be held April 3rd. If you knew Jimmy and wanted to attend please contact a family member.

James (Jimmy) was born April 18, 1948, in Louisville, Alabama to J. T. and Pauline

Floyd and grew up in various places as he traveled with his family during his

father’s military career. In 1968, he met and married the love of his life, Jacqueline

Clayton Fails. They bought a small farm in Cottonwood and enjoyed farm life,

especially raising and selling goats, thus earning him the nickname, “Goatman”. He

was a retired Sheet metal union worker (441), having worked at Farley Nuclear

Plant and several other locations around the States. Mr. Floyd was of the Baptist faith.

He was a kind, generous and gentle soul, that always put others first. He was a

caring father and husband. He loved “the farm” in Cottonwood where he

passionately cared for rescued dogs. His favorite hobby was old cars and car

shows.

He is predeceased by his father, Mr. J. T. “Buck” Floyd; his wife of 49 years,

Jacqueline Floyd; two brothers, Woody Floyd and Donald Floyd, and a sister Norma

Floyd.

Survivors include his son, James Huey Floyd III / Noemi Floyd of Tyrone, Georgia;

his daughter, Jacqueline Killingsworth of Cottonwood; four grandchildren, James

Floyd IV, Jessica Floyd, Kaylie Hicks, and Clayton Hicks / Sarah Hicks; his mother,

Pauline Floyd; three brothers, Gene Floyd, Johnny Floyd and Larry Floyd; several

nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to a local

animal shelter or charity of your choice.
