NILES Barry K. Floyd, 55, of Niles, passed away on Tuesday, March 2, 2021.
Barry was born June 12, 1965, in Lexington, Va., the son of Norman R. and Shirley Floyd Sr.
Barry graduated from Niles McKinley High School, Class of 1983.
He worked for the family business, Floyd Construction, as a carpenter. He was a jack of all trades. He loved to work with his hands and was proud of the work he did for others. He was everyone’s handyman.
Nobody cherished and bragged about their family more than he did. He loved getting together with family to have homemade bread and gravy for Sunday breakfast, watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and NASCAR racing. He loved fishing, bowling, and, with his God-given talent, you could always find him singing karaoke.
