Obituary for Floyd Fairbanks

Life Story for Floyd Fairbanks

A truck driver by trade, Floyd worked for Yellow Freight 30 + years with over a million miles driven accident free. Through his years of service he was recognized time and again for exemplary service, his motto being.....
"A job done well..is a job well done"
He was a lifetime member of the Teamsters Union.

In 1971, Floyd fully committed his life to serving God and spreading the good news to all he encountered. He diligently studied the Bible and gave testimony in jails and prisons in and around the greater Houston area that they may have the opportunity to grow in spirit and faith.

In his retirement, he took great joy teaching and helping his grandchildren and great grandchildren work their 4-H and FFA animals. He lived for the time he spent with them telling stories of days gone by and watching them grow under his watchful eye. That time even earned him his very own title and custom parking sign at 1026 Carpenter Road.....

He took great pride in their accomplishments..
Always their biggest fan...and if they were disappointed he felted it right along with them.

It's hard to truly capture the essence of a man like Floyd on paper....for he was many things to many people....he was kind..loyal
.slow to anger..but his fuse could be lit...he was honest....generous to a fault....devoted to God and family...a simple man who loved all God's creatures....he was filled with extraordinary insight and a heart as big as Texas....

A life well spent...the world lost a good man...and Jesus gained a valiant servant..his leaving isn't Goodbye...it's till we meet again!
