Joshua Floyd Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Smith Family Funeral & Crematory Services, LLC - Smyrna on Feb. 12, 2026.
Joshua Cleveland Floyd was born on March 08, 1984, to Darlene Floyd and the late Joseph Floyd. He grew up in Manchester TN.

Throughout his life, he was known as a true jack of all trades, skilled in many areas and never afraid to take on new challenges. His hands built, fixed, improved, and created countless things for family, friends, and his community. There was little he couldn't figure out, and he took pride in solving problems and helping others whenever he could.

He was the comedian of the family, always ready with a joke and a smile. His positivity was contagious, and he truly never met a stranger - only friends he hadn't made yet. He had a well-known sweet tooth and was rarely seen without something in his hands - a drink, a pocket full of change, or a tool he might need to fix something. His truck might have been his one true love (a running family joke), and he took great pride in it. Though punctuality wasn't his strongest trait, his presence always made up for it.

He is survived by his husband Thomas & Lil Mama Floyd; sisters Stephanie (Lee) Saltsman and Stacey Siegrist & brother -n-law Elijah Neal, mother Darlene Floyd; sister Heather Stafford; niece Makayla Shelton; Aidan Phillips, niece Kiara & Bryan Linhares; nephews Tyler & Greyson Shelton, Austin Kuohn, and Zackary Floyd; mother-n-law Michelle Wurzel; sister-n-law Paige Wurzel, and bonus granny Martha Baker. He is also survived all of his friends he made throughout his life, that is too large to be named.

He is preceded in death by his father Joseph Floyd and is friend Nancy Prosser.

Celebration of life is TBD. At the request of Josh, he was cremated.

My brain is still in shock and my heart is heavy. You made such a difference in my life and I´m honored to have been able to call you my friend. Chloe watches down the driveway for you to turn in, I´ve been sitting there with her watching to. Your absence is ever present. We miss you !!

He was truly the best man, and friend anyone could ever ask for. So selfless and always willing to help however he could. He will truly be missed: I pray God allows me to see you again my beloved friend. My heart is truly broken and am praying for his family. I love you my dear friend and know you´re in a better place.
Until we
Meet again :(
