Joey Michael Floyd

I met Joey once through a mutual friend. He was one of the nicest people I've ever met. We talked about guitars and life. He asked what strings I used on my guitar and the following day, I had 6 packs of Ernie Ball Super Slinkys from Joey. He didn't have to do that, but his heart of gold showed he cared and listened to our short conversation. I will always remember that time with him. God Bless Joey and his family!

This is Isabella Stott I use to live about six houses down from this wonderful man and his amazing wife. I walked his dogs and loved the both of them so much I hope you guys are doing well and I give you my Condolences. I am sorry for the loss of this wonderful man!!

It´s sad to see that more members are no longer with us to give us a great concert. Hope you, Toby and Chuck are once again playing together and giving those above concerts to enjoy over and over as you gave us. You all left us too soon.

It's something that I watched Honeysuckle Rose today and think about you and Toby. May you both be playing in God's grand band together. Can't believe both you are gone way to soon.

Hope you and Toby are catching up with chuckle Your all missed so much.

I will never forget the kindness Joey showed to us at many shows. He never had a star ego. Just a beautiful man.

Strange that I would think of Honeysuckle Rose today. Just popped into my mind. Guess listening to old Willie Nelson songs probably prompted it. I was an editor of the Fort Worth Magazine when that movie came out. I interviewed Joey then. Sweet kid who really loved Willie and the horse Willie gave him. I asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up and his exact words were: "I want to be just like Wille." Rest in Peace, Joey.

He was gone and buried before we knew it. What a sweetheart Joey was. Never hears him say a bad thing about anyone. He was generous with his stage space and encouraged others. He was such a sweet soul & talent. I´m sure we will see him in heaven leading the Welcome To Heaven Band. This worlds a better place for having Joey walk through it, but gone too soon.

Was just thinking of you and here is the time again. Miss you, but I know that you and Poodie are having a good ole time! Love you

Miss you Joey! Praying for Lauren and your family on this day they all lost a part of their heart.

How uncanny that your anniversary memory should pop up....."right" after I had been thinking of you, and some of our times together as Poodie's friends. Miss you, and miss the big guy, so hard to believe that you are both gone now. So happy to have had our times together though! rip my friend....

Joey , Your went way to early . I always appreciated your friendship.

My heart goes out to the Floyd family. I was in the class of 1987 with Joey and sadly after high school we lost touch; but during our school years Joey was one of the best friends I had. Keeping your family in my prayers.

Hugs and prayers for Laurin and the family.

Just learned that Joey had passed away. Joey was a great kid. Eric always thought a lot of Joey. How very sad to know he's gone. Prayers to the Floyd family from the Tull family.

My prayers go out to all of Joeys family. He was a very special person in all of our lives . Always smiling and lots of jokes. He will be missed yet knowing I have a memory for ever in my heart. RIP HOLDBACK!

My heart goes out to you along with my thoughts and prayers for Joey's family and friends. Such a great loss at such a young age!! God bless!!

Words can not express my sorrow at the loss of this humble man. My heart aches for his family and friends, most of his "fans" felt as if he was a friend. Never did he not have time for a child in the aaudienc, or a smile.to a face he recognized from being at numerous shows. Joey made you feel like a friend, and he will be missed. Rest in peace sweet man.

Laurin and friends and family my heart and prayers to all of you. RIP Joey
always- Joeysbiggestfan

"No bad days"

Have also enjoyed watching Joey at the many concerts that we have attended. He was always willing to play with the crowd and laugh with us all. He will be missed at every concert, there will be a hugh missing part on the right of the stage for us that are in the crowd watching. Prayers to Joey, his wife, and his entire family. Joey you will surely be missed. Rest peacefully.

Thank you for your inspiration in music and your humble spirit. I will never forget your compliments on my keyboard abilities. It means alot to me Joey. RIP My Eastern Hills High School Friend!

Hugs and prayers for Laurin and her family. May God shelter you in His arms now and always.

Joey was always making people laugh, even when he was not feeling well he managed a smile and a dirty joke :). I did not know him well, the little time I knew him was a gift.

Laura Bailey, RN

I was saddened to hear about Joey dying, and I know how difficult this is for his family and friends. I've known Joey for about 20 years and over those years we became friends. Joey always called me "Rev." Even as I write this, I can hear him saying things like,"Hey Rev," "What's up, Rev?" "What's going on, Rev?" Everytime he would see me, he would hug me and say, "Give me some love, Rev."

Before every concert, Toby, the band, and the crew would gather in a circle and pray just before they went on stage. It has been my honor and privilege to lead the prayer any time I'm out on the road with them. More times than I can count, we would gather in our group and Joey would squeeze in between me and the person next to me and say, "Let me get next to Rev before we pray."

Over the years, Joey and I would often talk about sports. He loved it any time the Longhorns or the Horned Frogs beat my beloved Sooners.

Over the last couple of years, our talks were often about life and death and time and eternity. I remember one of those times last year when we were in Canada for a few shows. We were at a hockey rink in Moosejaw and had just finished our prayer before the concert, but Joey had missed the prayer. As I was walking away, Joey came and said, "Hey Rev, let's me and you have a prayer." And as we did several times together, the two of us had our own prayer group and I prayed for him. The reason that one stands out is because after the show he told me he was at peace and felt like something had lifted off of him.

A few weeks after that we were in Cheyenne, Wyoming and we both walked over to see the rodeo before the concert. We talked about his cancer and how someday it could become terminal. I told Joey that all of us are terminal in the sense that we will all face death at some point. I also told him that death is not the end; life continues on in eternity. For the child of God, heaven is our eternal home. I believe that Joey was at peace with the Lord when he died, and although I will miss seeing him on this earth, I know I will see him again.

I love the following verses from I Thessalonians 4:13-18: "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

Our time on this earth is brief, but our life in Christ is eternal! Joey, we shall spend eternity together. I will miss your smile, your jokes, your talent, and your friendship. I love you, my brother- Rev

Peace be with you, Laurin!
I am so sorry!

Laurin, thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family. Know that Mama sends her love and her deepest expression of sympathy.

To all of the family you are in my thoughts and prayers. I have too many great memories to mention.
Rest in peace old friend.

Lauren, I was hoping to see Joey again as he would drive by Angela's house in your neighborhood as he went to do something. I won't forget the first time I met him walking around the neighborhood when he came out to check on the fire hydrant running that night and since then, he always stopped to say hey when he saw me in the yard. I will keep you in prayers as you and the family in prayers and I really am going to miss chatting with Joey and seeing him stop by. I am very glad to have had a short time to get to know a little bit about Joey. Keeping you in prayer.

My heart aches for you and your family Laurin. Joey was such a talented and kind man whom I am honored to have had the chance to get to know. I will miss seeing his truck drive by my house and him stopping to say hi and talk music with me, or laughing as I watch him chase his dog Cowboy down because he has run off again...lol...I will keep you in thoughts and pray that God gives you strength and comfort.

Joey and Jill used to play up in Denver and I had the opportunity to meet Joey Jill, and Mom and Dad. Joey and I hung on to that friendship for nearly twenty years. I pray for your family and feel truly blessed I had the opportunity to meet such kind people as you. Kent

Prayers for the family and will keep each one of you in our thoughts

God bless you Joey!! My heart breaks just reading this!!! I was lucky enough to see you many times in concert while you were playing for Toby Keith!! the world is going to miss you in many ways.......A family man, a friend to many, an incredible musician that Graced the world with his presence!!! My prayers are with you and your family!! May you rest in peace!! God Bless

My grandparents Vivian & Warren Neal introduced me to Joey and Jill Floyd when I as about 12 years old. I was the same age as Joey and had the pleasure of watching him perform from the front row of JHCM weekly for 5 or 6 years. I had never heard such an amazing musician at such a young age, seasoned band members couldn't believe how talented he was. God given talent and hard work ethic allowed Joey to have a very successful career in music. Aside from his successful musical talent, it seemed he was able to stay grounded in his roots, stay humble, keep his wit and kind heartedness. Prayers for Joey's family, band members, fans and close friends. #gone2soon #thanks4themusic

Joey you were such a talent.Enjoyed your talent way back when you were a little boy on Grapevine Opry. Lee and Patsy Seeton

Joey will never be forgotten...He is among the few genuine person that I have ever met...He has always been there for people when they were in need...RIP Joey

Wyn and I are so sorry for your loss may god grant you peace and serenity during this difficult time. Our hearts and prayers are with you. God bless

RIP Joey. Many years of enjoying your talent beginning on Johnnie High's Country Music Show weekly.

Rest in Peace sweet friend. Thank you for touching our lives. You will live in our hearts forever. Fairfax, Virginia

Prayers for Lauren & family. May god bless you with peace today and in the coming day.

I will miss you Joey! Lots of great times at Rodeo Exchange, Ronnie Tanner formerly of STALLION and INYO FACE.

My thoughts and prayers are with all Joey's loved ones. I first met Joey when he played with Wade Hayes. He was funny and nice every time we went to a show. You could see the love and passion he had for making music, his smile lit the stage.

I knew Joey from Billy Bobs and at a small bar I worked at when BB was closed. He was just a kid when I met him. He was always a sweet young man. He will be missed by all that knew him. My prayers are with you and all that knew him.

Thoughts and prayers to the family of a great man and musician, as well as a fellow EHHS Highlander. Gone too soon.
Michael "Mr Mikie" Tramel, EHHS 1968

No words just prayers! Love you all and I tell you so!

I attended elementary and high school with Joey. I remember him as always being a very nice guy with a lot of talent. I am so glad to read that he went on to follow his dreams and stayed a musician all of his life. While I am sure his death brings much sorrow to friends and family it is great to know the life he lived was truly lived to the fullest.

Thank you so much for your amazing talent and friendship. My deepest sympathies to Joey's family and friends. Joey was such a humble man and was so loved by all. God bless you Sir!!!

Jill, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. There are no words that can express how sorry I am for your loss. I saw Joey as an incredible uncle to Kennedy and Logan. Not many uncles came to "parent watch" days! Big hugs to all of you and continued prayers in the days to come.

Praying for you Laurin and all of Joey's family!

My deepest condolences to the family and all extended family and friends. RIP Joey Floyd. May your memories of him always bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart.

You will be missed by so many! You were a great guy,and a inspiration! Rest easy Joey

I will be ever grateful to Joey (and Laurin) for inviting Jarred in to your home when he moved to Nashville. He attests to you two saving his life with your friendship, hospitality, kindness, direction & humility.

May the Lord bring comfort, peace & great memories to the hearts of Laurin, family & friends.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. Joey was a very special and talented person. I'm honored to have met him at Johnnie High's when he was 10 yrs old.

So sorry that Joey had to leave us so young. I want to say how sorry I am for all the family, and friends who loved him. His music will live on forever,and I know he is with friends, and family. Thank you for all the good music, and good times. You were a wonderful person, and an amazing musician sir!

Prayers for the family and friends. Such a true artist.

When our band Inyo Face moved from Georgia to Dallas in the early 90's not many bands were let's just say welcoming. Not Joey, he came to see us when he heard about us and we developed a friendship that has lasted through our careers. I truly love the guy. Of course when you have the talent he has you don't have to be intimidated by anyone. I can't believe this has happened, I send my condolences to his wonderful family.

I remember Joey and Jill while working at the Grizzly Rose. They were a staple and everyone always looked forward to El Dorado coming to the stage. What a great guy and yes, very humble! Those were some fun years for me and so many others and saddened to hear of Joey's passing. God gained a great guy and is offering us an Angel for all you and his friends. So sorry for you loss.

My condolences and prayers go out to the Floyd family. Joey will be missed by all.

Prayer's for your Family I'm very sorry for your loss... Joey Floyd will be forever missed.. Jennifer Darcy

It was a pleasure to have known Ya and shared some really cool moment's along the way, some good laughs and some darn fine music and we met some really good folks together !! R.I.P. Brother
