Leland ‘Max’ Floyd, 74

Leland "Max" Floyd, 74, of Spencer, passed away on Oct. 26, 2026, in Bloomington, with family by his side. He was born Sept. 6, 1952, the son of John Floyd and Marcella (Newport) Floyd.

Max graduated from Patricksburg High School in 1971 and never shied away from hard work. He worked at General Electric, and then 17 years at Otis Elevator, both in Bloomington, and then 11 more years at Heartland in Greencastle. He was the kind of man who showed up, did the job right, and took pride in providing for the people he loved.

Max always said his loves came in a certain order: his family, his motorcycles, and his Polar Pops. Nothing made him happier than time with his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. After that, he was happiest on the open road with the wind in his face. And you could almost always find him with a Polar Pop close by.

He leaves behind his soulmate, Bessie Downes; children, Tony (Kim) Floyd, Spencer (Vanessa) Mattox, James (Chelsea) Ray, and Wendy (Andy) Goss; grandchildren, Tori Floyd, Travis (Sierra) Floyd, Trevor Floyd, Logan (Tommy) Stutsman, Joseph (Kirsten) Goss, Laraeha Ray, and Cam Mattox; great-grandchildren, Tessa Floyd, Lucas Stutsman, and Charlotte Goss; and siblings, Keith (Debbie) Floyd, Belinda Floyd, and Jennifer Floyd.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sisters, Marlene South and Vicky Cesinger.
