MSG (Retired) Floyd Wayne Fry, 75, of Lawton, Oklahoma, passed away surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. Floyd was born on October 26, 1949, in Vernon, Texas, to Velma Palmer and Floyd Eugene Fry. He spent his early years in Vernon before moving to Altus, where he graduated high school in 1968. Later, he relocated to Amarillo, Texas, where he was drafted into the military. After completing his draft service, Floyd took a brief hiatus before re-enlisting in the U.S. Army, where he proudly served for 22 years, retiring as an E-8 Master Sergeant.

Floyd's distinguished military career earned him numerous accolades, including the Army Achievement Medal, USA Gold Recruiting Badge, Overseas Service Ribbon (4th Award), Army Good Conduct Medal (7th Award), Meritorious Service Medal (2nd Award), and National Defense Service Medal (2nd Award). Following his Army retirement, Floyd worked for the GEO prison, from which he also retired. Additionally, he owned several properties, which he used to support individuals with very low incomes, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to helping others.

In his leisure time, Floyd enjoyed dancing at the Duncan Senior Center and the VFW. He cherished time spent with his family, especially his two daughters, grandchildren, cousins, and extended family. Floyd was deeply loved within his community and was known for his generosity and willingness to lend a helping hand wherever needed.

In his younger years, he was an avid bird hunter and had a passion for collecting eagle memorabilia, reflecting his admiration for the majestic bird. Floyd's kindness, dedication, and service will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Lawton Oklahoma, his three grandchildren, Brooke Gatlin of Oklahoma City, Travis Carrion of
Lawton, and Peyton Ball of Lawton, his two siblings, Michele Borges of Lawton and Steven
