His body was discovered in a vacant house located on the 500 block of McElderry Street. An investigation by law enforcement determined that Floyd had been fatally shot. According to an obituary, he entered eternal rest two days prior, on December 28, 2015.

His proudest accomplishment was the birth of his son.
