George was born October 5, 1941, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, May 10, 2025. The only son of Willene Hough Calder and Jack Sims Floyd. He was a lifetime member of Wateree Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon, Sunday school teacher, on the kitchen committee, and in many other capacities. George served in the US Army 14th Cavalry in Germany. Upon returning home from active duty, he went to work with Becker Sand & Gravel. He finished his 45-year career with Hardaway Concrete at the Sand Mine.

George’s greatest joy was rebuilding race cars, street cars, and dirt track cars from scratch. He enjoyed drag racing and dirt track racing. Papa George was one of a kind. The love he gave to his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was beyond measure. All who knew him loved him and greatly admired him.

He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Edna Wilson Floyd. His daughter, Ginger Floyd, and his son Jason Floyd (Cathy). His grandchildren, Ryan Floyd (Meagan), J.D. Creed, Grace Floyd, and Avery Floyd. Great-grandchildren Ford McCaskill, Blake Floyd, Ella McCaskill, and Olivia Floyd.

He was predeceased by C. Woodrow Calder, who was his dad; Willene Hough, his mother; and Jack Sims Floyd, his biological father.  He was also predeceased by his mother-in-law, Thelma Wilson.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Wateree Baptist Church. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff of Amedisys, especially Suzanne Rapp and Teri Erhardt.
