Floyd Smith

After a 2019 diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (a blood cancer), Floyd’s heart decided that was enough and abruptly stopped on October 30, 2026. His 80 year old heart was finding it harder and harder to pump and trying to allow him to do some of the things he cherished for so many years to stay active and productive, even if it was just through sitting at a computer in the last few weeks. A private burial will be at Greenwood Memorial Terrace and more information will follow later when a memorial service is planned after the start of the new 2027 year.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernie and Helen Smith, and two brothers, Steve and Larry Smith. He is survived by a sister, Lorraine (Smith) Crouch, His wife, Kathy (Jantz) Smith of 56 years, a son, Chris Smith, a daughter, Angela (Smith) Clark and a son, Ryan Smith.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your favorite charity. His church of many years, Spokane First Church of the Nazarene on Country Homes Blvd, Samaritan’s Purse, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Spokane Humane Society, and The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) have been some of his top priorities to support.
