Obituary

Deacon Floyd Jenkins, Jr., was born February 21, 1953,

in Shuqualak, Mississippi, to the late Floyd and Gladys Jenkins.

He confessed Christ at an early age and united with Old Shiloh

Missionary Baptist Church in Shuqualak, where he remained a

faithful and dedicated member throughout his life.

On August 23, 1970, Floyd was united in holy matrimony to the

late Brenda Marie Jenkins. Their union was blessed with four sons,

and together they built a life centered on faith, family, and love.

Floyd was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and

friend.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Brenda Marie

Jenkins; parents, Floyd and Gladys Jenkins; and three sisters and

two brothers.

Floyd’s legacy continues through his loving sons, David Earl

(Mary Ann) Jenkins of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Floyd III (Pattie)

Jenkins of Collinsville, Mississippi, and Rafael (Trina) Jenkins

and John (Tonya) Jenkins, both of Omaha, Nebraska; siblings,

Mary Louise Shephard of Columbus, Mississippi, Mable Lynn

Williams of Scooba, Mississippi, Freeman (Carolyn) Jenkins of

Shuqualak, Mississippi, Ethel Jenkins of Electric Mills, Mississippi,

Melvin (LaDonna) Jenkins of Prairie Point, Mississippi, Gladys

(Wendell) Lyles of Los Angeles, California, and Joelee (Patricia)

Jenkins of Lauderdale, Mississippi; 18 grandchildren and 17 great-

grandchildren; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, extended

family, and dear friends who will miss him deeply.

Floyd worked as a skilled carpenter for many years and faithfully

served as the water operator for Porterville Water System for 42

years, only stepping away when his health began to decline. He was

deeply committed to his church, his community, and those around

him.

In his spare time, Floyd enjoyed spending time with his family,

hunting, and fishing—activities that brought him great joy and

peace.

Deacon Floyd Jenkins, Jr., lived a life of service, love, and

unwavering faith. His legacy of dedication, kindness, and strength will continue to inspire all who knew him
