Floyd Albert Williford

Floyd Albert Williford, aged 81, passed away on Wednesday, November 29th, 2023, at Focused Care at Orange Nursing Home. Floyd was a native of Vidor and a longtime resident of the community before making his home in Deweyville and, finally, Kirbyville. Floyd's professional journey led him to become a dedicated and skilled welder, and he proudly served his country as a member of the U.S. Army. Outside of his professional life, Floyd was a true outdoorsman at heart. His love for nature manifested in his favorite pastimes—fishing, hunting, and gardening. Whether casting a line into the waters, navigating the woods in search of game, or tending to the vibrant colors of his garden, Floyd found solace and joy in the simplicity and beauty of the natural world. Floyd was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Hayley Williford, and his parents, Flordy and Eva Williford. Though he has left this world, his spirit and memories will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He is survived by his son, Will Williford, and his wife Lisa of Orange, TX, his daughter Heidi Cleveland and her husband Dwayne of Vidor, TX, and his sister Loryine Ellis of Beaumont, TX. Floyd's legacy extends through the lives of his 9 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren, each a testament to the love and warmth he shared as a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
