Troy Floyd

The funeral service for Troy Lamar Floyd is 2 p.m., Tuesday, August 13, at Bethel Temple Church with burial in the church cemetery. Friends and family will have a time of visitation from 11 a.m. until the time of the service for Mr. Floyd.

Troy is a lifelong resident of Lincoln County. He was truly “one of a kind”. He was a devoted Christian and a career lawman. He wholeheartedly loved protecting and serving. Troy could witness of God’s love for you, quoting scripture, while putting on the handcuffs. His love for people and a call to protect them led him into law enforcement and politics. Troy graduated from Brookhaven High School in 1993 and began his career in law enforcement in 1996. As a career law man, Troy has proven leadership, strong criminal enforcement, effective crime prevention, and established partnerships in the community and state that has made Lincoln County and the surrounding areas stronger.

Troy’s credentials include Mississippi Law Enforcement Officers Training Academy, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center Instructor, Civilian Response to Active Shooter Instructor, certifications in School Resource Officer, DARE Instructor, and Canine Officer, Interview and Interrogation Training, Raid Planning Training, Drug Interdiction Officer (which included Motor Vehicles and Commercial Vehicles), specialized training with the Mexican Cartels by the DEA, Certified Agent with Mississippi Department of Corrections (specializing in high risk offenders and sex offenders), former Assistant Police Chief of Wesson, Drug & Human Trafficking Interdiction, ALERRT Active Shooter Instructor, STAR Program Instructor, and a Mentor at Camp Shelby for troubled youth. He was also a Lincoln County Jailer and a full time Deputy. These are just a surface listing of his many accomplishments.  To name everything would take far too many pages.

Troy was genuinely liked by most people and loved by many more. Everyone that knew Troy probably has a funny story to tell. He could be a little skiddish at times, depending on his current location and/or present company. With all his quirks aside, Troy was a loving husband and a doting dad and Papa. He truly loved his family and was loyal to his friends. This is only a brief synopsis of an all too brief life, but if you asked Troy what was most important to him, I believe he would tell you it was his salvation.

Troy is preceded in death by his parents, Eddie and Hilda Ray Floyd; his maternal great grandparents, Eugene and Hattie Pennington; paternal grandparents, Sam Floyd and Johnnie Sanchez; and grandparents, Cliff Givens and Helen Shaheen.

He is survived by his wife of 10 years, Sage Floyd; children, Raiden Floyd (Shelby) of Sandyhook, MS, Carlyanna Nicholson (Brayden) of Wesson, MS, and Jacob Floyd of Brookhaven, MS; brother, Eddie Floyd, Jr. of West Monroe, LA; sisters, Cristi Montgomery (Mike) of Union, MS, Terry Hedgepeth of McComb, MS, Missy Freeman (Mark) of Brookhaven, MS; two grandchildren, Morgan Floyd and Brancin Floyd; and a host of other loving family members, friends, law enforcement officers, and faith family members.

Lincoln 8 out!

    I have heard good things about Troy Floyd for many years from friends and folks that worked with him. How he shared the msg of Jesus with others, what a great way to be rembered. My prayers are with family and friends. May the peace of God that passes all understanding keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

    Such a beautiful soul. Much sadness in losing him. People are so fearful of law enforcement and forget that they are people too. They have family too. They have loved ones too. They are HUMAN too! He didn’t deserve this. Hope the idiot (to put it lightly) never lives to walk a free man. NOTHING is worth losing a life. I am angry towards the perpetrator. I am sorrowful for the family of Troy Floyd. Today is a sad day and has been a very sad week for many. God keep and God bless.

    I am so saddened by all of this. I knew and worked with Troy for many years at MDOC. Troy left his mark here on earth and will surely be missed but will also carry on his mission on the other side. Heaven holds another treasure! My condolences to the family and all that have been touch by the presence of this man.

    Troy Floyd was a light to all everytime you saw him he called you by name. Always respectful , a smile on his face and asked about how were things going? He was a helping hand, a person you to talk to with a problem , knowing it would be checked into and an understanding that your identity would be safe.
    Rest well Troy! I know those have longed to see came with open arms when you entered Heaven’s City.
    The community will be at a great loss in your absence . We are praying for your family and friends who remain.

    Troy Floyd was the quintessential peace officer. He was tough, yet approachable at the same time. He combined capable, fair and honest police work with an easygoing and friendly disposition. Troy was universally respected for many reasons, not least of which being the respect he showed others. His death is a horrible loss for his family and the community, but Troy truly left the world a better place than he found it.

    I am a fellow Law Enforcement Officer that worked in California. Upon retirement I came back to the south. I now live in Brookhaven. I mourn each and every LEO that falls in the line of duty, and grieve for the loss of another Brother.
    Words cannot express the loss I feel, and I know it is no where the loss that his family feels. While I did not personally know Troy, I do know him as a Brother in Law Enforcement. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends, and I know that now that he has come to the "end of his watch" over us here, he will still be on watch over his family from his eternal home in Heaven. So long my Brother, one day I too will stand watch with you in HEAVEN. I will, God willing, be there to say my goodbye to your here on earth at your memorial.
