Support for Richard Floyd's funeral and burial

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I even type this out. My name is Kathryn and Richard was my Daddy. There is no easy or eloquent way to put this but, my father didn't have any pre-arrangements set in place. The cost of his cremation, funeral and burial has fallen to his children. That is the purpose of this fundraiser, and we are trusting that the Lord will provide through this. Thank you from the bottom of my soul for loving my dad and for helping us in our time of need. You are more appreciated than you will ever know. Below is my father's obituary.

Richard Lee Floyd, 64, of Lynchburg passed away unexpectedly Friday, August 14, 2026. He was the son of the late Edward Daniel Floyd and Gladys G. Martin Floyd.

Richard was a graduate of Heritage High School and spent much of his working life in the construction field. Most importantly, he was a believer in Jesus Christ. A little over a year ago he came to saving faith, confessing Him as his Lord and Savior. Expressing that he felt God in the room that day. Richard had peace knowing where he would spend eternity, and his faith remained an important part of who he was.

Richard found great joy in the simple things of life. He was an avid fisherman who loved being outdoors and enjoyed playing the guitar.

He also had a creative side, often whittling and crafting neat little things with his own hands. He was someone who was always willing to lend a hand, and his generosity was evident in the way he freely gave of whatever he had. If someone needed help fixing something, Richard was often there to help find a way to make it right.

Richard’s life was not without its struggles, but those who knew him knew there was a deep capacity for love within him. There was never any doubt about how much he loved his children. They held a special and irreplaceable place in his heart, and his love for them was one of the most enduring parts of his life.

Richard will be remembered for his generous spirit, his willingness to help others, his love of the outdoors and the simple pleasures he enjoyed, and most of all, for the love he carried for his children.

Those left to cherish Richard’s memory include his children Brittney Patricia Floyd, of Lynchburg, VA, Kathryn Lee Morris of Forest, VA, Isis M. Davis of Richmond, VA; his siblings Patricia Neal Floyd of Winston-Salem, NC, Kenneth Darrell Floyd of Goode, VA, Philip Leland Floyd of Fincastle, VA; and his five grandchildren Bryson, Bryndon and Bronsyn VanHook, Bennett and Woodland Morris.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, September 5th at Whitten Funeral Home and Chapel located at 7404 Timberlake Rd. Lynchburg, Va 24502. Visitation will begin at 4pm, service at 5pm.
