Floyd Earl Abbott Sr.
June 20, 1936 — July 12, 2019
On Friday, July 12, 2019, Floyd Earl Abbott, 83 years young, was called home by Jesus Christ. Floyd will enjoy his time golfing in the kingdom of heaven, with its emerald fairways and perfectly smooth putting greens.
Floyd was born in Winters, Texas, to Sterling and Minnie Abbott. The family later moved to Tabor, Texas. Floyd graduated from Bryan High School.
As the sons of a share cropper, Floyd and his elder brother, Roy Lee, learned the meaning of hard work, the value of a dollar and the grace of God.
Floyd retired from the life insurance industry, where he had successfully climbed that corporate ladder.
Floyd was the loving husband of Erma Lee Abbott, who built a beautiful life together and called Joshua, Texas their home for the last 45 years. Floyd and Erma shared 59 years of marriage together.
He is survived by his spouse, Erma of Joshua, TX; son Floyd E. Abbott, Jr. and wife Stacy of Gatesville, Texas; daughter Patricia A. Pettijohn and husband Michael of Cleburne, Texas; step-sons Charles Wilson and wife Sandi of Fort Worth, Texas and Eddie Wilson and wife Cathy of Las Cruces, New Mexico; step-daughter Karen Anderson of Bryan, Texas; grandchildren Chris Nichols and wife Nikki of Joshua, Texas; Casey Nichols and wife Anna of Rusk, Texas; Hunter Abbott and wife Stephanie of College Station, Texas; Slade Abbott and wife Natalie of Gatesville, Texas; Colton Abbott of Gatesville, Texas; Leanne Douglas and husband James of Rockwall, Texas; Matthew Wilson and wife Rebekah of Waco, Texas; Jessica Wilson of Fort Worth; Christopher Anderson and wife Leslie of Haslet, Texas; Jacob Wilson of New York, New York; Samuel Wilson and wife Shelby of Anchorage, Alaska; Cody Wilson and wife Wendie of Argyle, Texas, Kimberly Wilson of San Antonio, Texas; 18 great-grandchildren
