Father Donavan Labbé pastor of St. Basil will be the Celebrant of the Mass and officiate the services. J. Floyd Guidry, devoted husband, father and grandfather, passed away on November 3, 2024, in Lafayette. Floyd was born to Mozar and Laurence Guidry in Judice, LA, on December 27, 1927. He graduated from Judice High School and enlisted in the Navy as an electronics technician and was honorably discharged from the Navy as a Seamen First Class. He met Eve Nunez shortly after leaving the Navy and they married, having two children, Nancy Marie and Robert Cornell. He began his career in the oilfield with California Oil, which later became Chevron, and eventually retired from McCormick Oil. Floyd liked working with his hands and was only happy when he had a project to work on (and until the end, always had one in the queue). He was a problem solver, whether it was a light fixture or the economy, he always had a suggestion. He loved gardening and fresh tomato and cucumber salads with salt and pepper. A product of the depression, he was reluctant to throw away items, their use a mystery sometimes to his family. Floyd was a quietly spiritual man, and was proud of his contribution to building St Basil Church and enjoyed spending time with Deacon Robert LeBlanc on Sundays when the deacon would bring his communion. But above all, Floyd loved and respected his wife Eve. Their marriage will forever be an inspiration to his family and the many caregivers that witnessed his care of her in the final years of her life. Floyd is survived by his children, Nancy and Bobby (Teri), his grandchildren Erin (Kevin), Jason (Teresa), Jo, Rachel, and Robert (Emily), and numerous great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, his siblings, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. The family would like to extend their many thanks to Hospice of Acadiana and Calcutta House for their care of Floyd, as well as Joy Lorman for her heartfelt care and support. Inurnment will be held in Holy Mary Mother of God Cemetery in Lafayette immediately following the Mass. Arrangements have been entrusted to Cypress Funeral Home & Crematory, 206 W. Lafayette St., Maurice, LA 70555.
