Tuesday, August 24, 2021
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize and honor the late Mr. Floyd Lee Small, a beloved father, veteran, and friend.
Whereas, Mr. Floyd Small was born in Miami, Florida on April 1, 1953, to the late James and Annie Mae Small. He was one of nine siblings. Mr. Small had a strong Christian upbringing, in a household where love and values were instilled and strongly emphasized at an early age; and
Whereas, Mr. Small was among the first class to integrate South Dade High School in the early 70's. Immediately after graduating, he enlisted in the United States Navy where he received an honorable discharge; and
Whereas, on October 15, 1979, he was united in holy matrimony to Brenda Donaldson. With this union, came a daughter Tiffany and two stepdaughters Kimberly and Tracy; and
Whereas, he was a man of many talents and gifts. In his early adult years, he began working at Turkey Pointe as an apprentice in the water treatment plant. Throughout the remainder of his career, he worked in diverse industries such as: Law enforcement, as a police dispatcher, freelance photographer, MC/DJ. In the 90's, he mastered the art of window tinting and eventually started X-pert Window Tinting.
Whereas, Mr. Small was loved by many and shed light on whomever crossed his path. He knew that God gave him a voice. He used this voice to sing, inspire, and help others make sense of life. His amazing sense of humor rubbed off on anyone that was near him; and
Whereas, on August 5, 2021, the Lord called him home. Mr. Small leaves to cherish his precious memories: his daughter Tiffany (Willis) Howard; Two brothers; Edward (Michelle), Willie; six sisters, Annie Bell Walker, Sharon Ferguson, Carolyn (Ralph) Baptiste, Sandra Small, Deborah (Joe) Roberts and Jacqueline (Glenn) Gray; His grandson Jacob; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, countless friends; and
