Obituary of Floyd James Worthington

Floyd James Worthington, known affectionately as Floyd to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on April 18, 2025, at the age of 62, in Wixon, MI. Born on April 12, 1963, in Bay City, MI, Floyd's life was a tapestry of love, adventure, and the joy of discovery.

 Floyd was the treasured son of Floyd (Rose) Worthington and a beloved brother to Carol Knak, Sylvia Canute, Mary Ward, Alexandria Worthington, and Michelle Worthington. His legacy of love continues through his devoted daughter, Martha Worthington, and his cherished granddaughter, Miyia, who were the apples of his eye. He was preceded in death by his mother, Martha Ward; sister, Linda Smith; and brother-in-law, Bruce Knack.

From an early age, Floyd was known for his loving and thoughtful nature. He had a knack for making everyone around him feel special and valued. Floyd's adventurous spirit led him to many outdoor pursuits, with camping and kayaking being among his favorite ways to connect with nature. His fascination with the elusive Bigfoot sparked many an adventure and story that he shared around campfires and during family gatherings. An avid collector, Floyd sought out the unique and the interesting, finding beauty and value in both old and new treasures. His collections were a reflection of his eclectic tastes and his appreciation for the stories embedded within each item. Friends and family often marveled at his latest finds and the passion with which he pursued his hobbies. Floyd's life was grounded in the relationships he nurtured. Whether he was offering a listening ear, a helping hand, or a hearty laugh, he was always there for those he loved. His presence was a source of comfort and joy, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.

As we say goodbye to Floyd, we celebrate the remarkable person he was. His legacy is one of love, generosity, and a zest for life that inspired others to explore, to collect, and to cherish the moments spent with loved ones. Floyd's memory will be carried in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known him, and his spirit will live on in the stories and memories shared by his family and friends. In honoring Floyd's life, we reflect on a man who truly understood the importance of the journey, not just the destination. His life was a testament to the power of love and the adventures that bring us closer to each other and the world around us. Floyd's family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all who have been a part of his life. His impact was immense, and the warmth of his character will continue to light the way for those he has left behind. Floyd James Worthington's story does not end here, for he has left an indelible mark on this world.

As we gather to share our memories and celebrate his life, we are reminded that his journey was one well-traveled, filled with love, laughter, and the joy of the great outdoors.
