Floyd dedicated over 30 years of his life to Texaco as a machinist, where his work ethic and commitment were admired by many. A man of the community, he was baptized at an early age and became a member of Antioch Baptist Church under the tutelage of Dr. John R. Adolph, Pastor, serving as an usher and embodying the love and compassion he felt for others.

With a vision to create a welcoming space for the community, Floyd opened Southern Delight Restaurant in Beaumont. His goal was to provide a place where people could come together to socialize and enjoy great food, reflecting his passion for community connection.

Floyd was a beloved figure, known for his warm spirit and kindness. People of all ages had nothing but good things to say about Mr. Floyd, and his ability to connect with others left a lasting impact on everyone he met.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Carol Dixon, and his children: Floyd Dixon Jr. (Trina), Derrick Dixon, Candace Dixon Ford (TJ), Eboni Dixon, and stepson Derril Vallery (Crissa). He was a proud grandfather to Taylor Dixon, Jordan Dixon, Dylan Dixon, Terrance Ford Jr. Peyton Ford, Austin Ford, Keiona Riley, Kenadee Barrett, Kobe Barrett, Kaitlyn Barrett, Cameron Bryant, Kingston Vallery, and Zuri Vallery and a doting great-grandfather to Mari Dixon, Phoenix Nelson, Clover Nelson, Kaire Ford, Orlando Guiterez, Kaizer James, Kashton Carter, and Helani Carter. Floyd also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins who will carry on his legacy of love. He was preceded in death by his siblings: Barbara Matthews, Herman L. Dixon, Jerome Simms, Hampton Dixon III, Harry Jean Lute, and William C. Lute. He also held a special place in his heart for his stepfather, Gabe Lute, who played an influential role in his life.
