Obituary of Floyd Layne Carter

On Wednesday, February 28, 2024, Floyd Layne Carter, a loving husband, father and grandfather went to be with the Lord at the age of 70. Floyd was born on February 20, 1954, in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Floyd and Lucille Carter.

Floyd’s first job was delivering papers in the early mornings at the age of 13. He graduated from Central High School in 1973 and then went to Okmulgee Tech and graduated in 1975, receiving a degree in Plumbing.
