Chuck Floyd
Tropic, Utah

    Charles Jason Floyd passed away in his home Friday, July 14, 2023, at the age of 58.  Charles, fondly known as Chuck, was born to Janice and John Floyd on February 20,1965 in Torrance, California and is the oldest of two children. Dad grew up in Panguitch. He went to Panguitch High School where he joined the wrestling team and was a proud bobcat! Later, Dad joined the National Guard’s 222nd Battalion in Beaver where he served as a 13 Bravo and had special training in nuclear warfare.
   Chuck married Sheila Beebe and together they had one son and formerly divorced. Then married Stephanie Excell and moved to Salt Lake where Dad owned and operated T&C Gas Piping for nine years, then worked for Air Design where he loved working with family and friends. Together with Stephanie they had four children and previously divorced.
   He moved home to Garfield County where he lived in Tropic and started working at Ruby’s Inn and Bryce Canyon. He worked there for more than ten years doing various jobs such as head of maintenance, trail rides, and photography. Dad loved his Ruby’s Inn family, and we are forever grateful to them. 
   He loved spending time with his grandchildren when they came to visit. He would take them horseback riding, 4-wheeling, hiking, arm wrestling, and even liked to do a little country dancing. He loved the mountains and his dog Coe, they liked to go fishing, hunting, and trapping; he also enjoyed throwing a frisbee around and playing fetch. Everywhere he went, Coe dog was always by his side.
   He is preceded in death by his father, John Arthur Floyd; and survived by his mother, Janice Floyd; brother, Steve (Kasidi) Floyd; children: Joshua Jason Floyd, Dustin Kent (Amanda) Floyd, Lyndsee Marx, Shantel Floyd, Victoria (Gary) Luahiwa; and his nine grandchildren: Kyler Brackon Gregory, Kingstyn Wesley Marx, Knixxon Tru Marx, Everly Jade Huerta, Dakota Joshua Luahiwa, Teagen John Floyd, Aiden James Floyd, Paxten Kent Floyd, and Oden Charles Floyd (with whom he shared a birthday); nieces and nephew: Keni Floyd, Kezli Floyd, and Moxin Floyd.
   Dad will be greatly missed by all his family and many friends.
