Dates
Rodney Carl Floyd joined family and friends in Heaven on January 29, 2024. He was born in San Angelo, Texas, on August 26, 1960, to parents Travis Carl and Norma Jean Floyd. The Floyds moved to Big Spring, Texas, where Rodney attended school, and most importantly he met his wife of 44 years, Shawn. Rodney built a successful career based on his commitment to serving others. He earned the trust of his customers and made friends along the way at OPI Oil Industries, Mustang Chevrolet, Gage Van Horn and, since 1992, Mr. Insurance. Rodney’s life was well lived; full of faith, family, friends, fishing, optimism, and an unmatched work ethic.
Rodney is preceded in death by his parents and sister, Sandra Nugent. Rodney is survived by Shawn, their two children and their spouses, Courtney and Luke Schmidt (Spokane, Washington) and Cody and Brittany Floyd (Westminster, Colorado), his brother and wife, Robert and Kim Floyd (San Angelo, Texas), mother-in-law Carol Stephens (Austin, Texas), and brother-in-law and his wife, Rusty and Shari Stephens (Liberty Hill, Texas), sister-in-law and her husband, Sharon and Scott Campbell (Lubbock, Texas), brother-in-law Wayne Nugent (Richmond, Texas) as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and their families. His most cherished family being his grandchildren, Madison and Parker Schmidt and Ellie Floyd.
A celebration of Rodney’s life will be held at his home church, Sierra Vista United Methodist Church in San Angelo, Texas, on Saturday, February 3, 2024, at 11:00am.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Rodney Floyd Special Needs Children's Fund by contacting The San Angelo Area Foundation (www.saafound.org) or a charity of your choosing.
The Rodney Floyd Special Needs Children's Fund was created in 2016 by friends of Rodney to provide assistance to organizations which help special needs children, including Ronald McDonald House in Houston, Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville, SVUMC Children's Bed Project in San Angelo, and the CASA of San Angelo through the Children's Advocacy Center.
When friends and family of Rodney Floyd wanted to create a fund at the San Angelo Area Foundation in his honor, Rodney was hesitant, feeling undeserving of such a tribute. In a true testament to Rodney’s altruism, he agreed knowing the Rodney Floyd Special Needs Children’s Fund would improve the quality of life for children. Rodney’s selfless generosity will continue in perpetuity and children living with disabilities will forever benefit from the legacy created by faith, family, and friends.
Our family asks you to celebrate Rodney, by loving others, spending time with family and friends, working hard and doing the “right thing.”
A special thank you to the Sierra Vista UMC Community, Rodney’s business partners and team at Mr. Insurance, Dr. Ty Hughston, Dr. Raj Cheruku, Dr. Chitra Hosing and the nurses who cared for him so well at Shannon Hospital, Shannon Clinic and MD Anderson Cancer Center.
