    Floyd Franklin Branson III

    Although your work on earth is done,
    Your life in heaven has just begun.
    Your struggles here were hard and long,
    But they're over now;
    you're finally home.

      Floyd Franklin Branson III was taken home to Heaven on September 1st, 2022 following a long battle with heart disease.

      A United States Army Veteran who served in both Vietnam and Germany, Floyd received his honorable discharge in August of 1970. He attended college at Mt.

      Floyd was a member of the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma. He enjoyed tennis, bowling, hunting, fishing, and rooting for the New York Yankees and the Green Bay Packers. He was also a frequent patron of casinos. Floyd had a passion for his family and loved deeply. He was quick with a joke or to make you laugh. He was friendly, always ready with a handshake or a hug, optimistic, and supportive. His voice and his smile brought great joy and comfort to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
      Floyd "Bud" leaves behind his beloved wife of almost 30 years, Laurie, a sister Elizabeth, four children: Janelle, Rene', Sean, and Jonathan, 13 grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren.
