I have been privilaged to know alot of people in my life that have made an impact on me and none has been as influential to me than Daddy Faith. He exuded Christ in the truest sense of the word "Christian". I've never seen him angry (and we all know that he had all the reason in the world to be angry in the later days of his life). I spoke to my own father before Daddy died and told him that, no offense to him, I considered Daddy as much my father as my paternal father. He said that that was the way it was supposed to be, that it's not a bad thing to be as close as I was to Daddy Faith. He was an inspiration to all those who came across his path and will be missed by us all. Daddy, I count it a privilage to be one of the ones who could be your hands and feet when you couldn't use your own. I know in my heart of hearts that you would have done the same for me if the tables were turned and I couldn't do for myself.

my daddy was a good and faithful man. you could always depend on him , if he told you he would do something , he would do it. you can't find many people like that now days. he always like to go to auto zone or to anywhere to look at tools. he seem to be happy when me and him and stephen would go fishing. daddy you will be missed so much ,every time i look at your atlanta daries hat especially. i will think of you and me and stephen working at the dairy. so long good buddy , i love you with all my heart. i'll see you in the promise land. michael david faith

Floyd, was my father-in-law, and you couldnt ask for a better one at any time or any where. I could sit and talk to him about the "old days" when he worked in the fields. He liked to talk about tractors and trains. When talked of these things he would light up with a smile. He was a simple man and enjoyed simple things. Never once did i hear him ask or in need of anything, except his loving wife and family. Daddy Floyd this is your son-in-law and i love you very much. You never know how someone touches your life until they are gone. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

DADDY WAS A VERY LOVABLE, SWEET, AND A GENTLE MAN. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY FIRST-ONLY AFTER GOD, AND HE ALWAYS WANTED THE BEST FOR ALL OF US KIDS. MY SOON HUSBAND TO-BE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO KNOW HIM, AND ASA LOVES HIM ALREADY/ANYWAY-WHAT WAS NOT TO LOVE ABOUT FLOYD FAITH?

EVERYONE LOVED DADDY AT FIRST IMPRESSIONS, ALWAYS. HE WILL BE MISSED, AND LOVED VERY MUCH THRU OUT THE YEARS-BUT DADDY--I WILL SEE AGAIN IN THE PROMICE LAND.

LOVE YOU DADDY -MICHELLE AND ASA

My Daddy...Well, he was one of the most loving and compassionate men that I ever knew. He loved everyone and everyone loved him. He saw no color and hated no one. He got along

with everyone, and as a young girl I

saw this a lot. He was one of the most blessed Christians that I ever knew. He had a large family following, but I think the ones that he touched the most was his

children in-laws. I know that they

all had a special place in their hearts for him and they loved him very much. I maybe 45 years old now,

but as a child, I will always hold

my dad's laughter in my memories, and seeing him get excited about something. My daddy was a blessing to me all the years, and I will surely miss him, but I know that I

will see him again soon. Love you

Daddy-----Your daughter, Joy

I am a friend of Mr. Faith's daughter, Vicki Meeks. I never got the chance to meet Mr. Faith but I heard so many wonderful things about him. My prayers are with Vicki and all of the rest of the family.

Honor, respect, and love come at a great price. Floyd earned these from his family and those who knew him.

He had some deep valleys to walk through in his seventy-seven years. Floyd never took the easy ways out.

People say he was a quiet man, but the things he did speak much louder than any words he could have spoken. He proved who he was and what he stood for by his actions.

Floyd's strong love and devotion to his family will continue to live on here in the hearts of the future generations of his family.

-Floyd climbed to the mountain top-

He made it!

Floyd and I have been married almost 37 years, it has passed so quickly. It seems only yesterday we were getting married and moving into our house on ormewood ave in southeast atlanta. We lived there for 30 years, that house saw a lot of good times and some bad times too .Floyd was a hard working man, wanting nothing but to take care of me and our 6 children. He was a good man, he was a good and wonderful husband . If he was not at work, he was with us. HE had no earthly awards here , but in heaven he will receive a crown of gold . and the LORD JESUS will say " well done my good and faithful servant, enter into my rest " When he had his stroke in june of 2002 , they told me i could not take care of a 100% disabled man, but i did for almost 2 years. I don't take the credit ,it all goes to the LORD JESUS CHRIST who was my strength . IT was a honor and a privilage to take care of my husband. On our wedding day , i promised to love and honor in sickness and in health. That was our vow to each other and to GOD. Floyd Faith i love you with all my heart, and someday i will join you in that beautiful land called " paradise" so look for me for i will be ther too. love forever, marlene

Floyd Faith was a man of very few words, but you always new what he was saying to you .He was a man that didn't compare you to any one else he didn't see all your faults he only saw you .He loved everyone. floyd was my father-inlaw for 15 years He always met you at the door with a hand shake and a smile and a hug when you left. the whole situation with Floyd was a humbling experience to me , to be able to watch Marlene take care of him with such LOVE - COMPASSION & understanding was amazing and very Christ like . I love Floyd & Marlene as if they were my own parents.

What can I say about my daddy, if you knew him you loved him!

But I'll tell ya he was the best daddy that anyone could have and I'm glad I told him even years before his stroke. He cared for his kids all the same with no favorites because he would say "none of them are worse than the next!" or any better!

Well I tried to tell myself that he's been gone for a long time but now I can't believe that he is really gone. I will miss him for the rest of my life here on earth.

So what can I say but I LOVE YOU!

And I will see you again thanks to Jesus and his sacrifice for us!

Grandpa, when I think of you, I think of a true christ-like example. Because, there was this little girl who at a very young age had already lost her daddy. Then you came and took care of and provided for that little girl just as she was one of your own. This is the ultimate act to be like Jesus, to be a friend to the freindless and a father to the fatherless. So on the days when you weren't doing so well, I considered it pure joy and an honor to be your hands, eyes, feet or whatever necessary. After all it was you who first demonstrated what it meant to "do unto others". Thank you for taking care of that little girl. Your character rings true and my heart and your examples will forever echo in my being. I love you grandpa and I cant wait to see you again, trust me it won't be long.....You don't believe that do you boy? ;o)

When I think of my father, one word comes to mind...gentle. Everyone who knew him, loved him. Even though I was his "step daughter", you would never know it. He treated me as his own. He was a true blessing in my life and I will miss him every day. I love you daddy!
