Ralph Floyd

Ralph Alvin Floyd was born on June 28, 1961 the fifth child to Muriel Hefflin Floyd and Ralph E. Floyd (deceased). He departed unexpectedly on November 28, 2016. He was one of the most lovable, kindest unselfish individuals you would ever meet. On top of that he was extremely funny. He could always make you laugh despite the circumstances. While growing up in the East End area of Pittsburgh, Ralph participated in organized sports with the Boys and Girls Clubs. He matriculated through the elementary, middle and secondary public school system of Pittsburgh eventually becoming an outstanding defensive player for the championship football team of Westinghouse High School in 1980. After graduating high school he was married and fathered three children; Maurice, Terrell and Autumn. Ralph was such a compassionate person he took great pleasure in taking care of people, plants and animals who needed help. He was an excellent cook and enjoyed socializing with family and friends over a good meal or Steeler football game! He maintained several jobs at nursing facilities in the area often befriending the residents while entertaining them with a funny story or joke. He was so friendly little children were drawn to him where he had a special nickname and a piece of candy for each one; just ask the children that attended the BJWL After School Program of Homewood North. Preceding Ralph in death were his father Ralph E. Floyd and sisters Autumn Lynn Floyd and Monica Lois Floyd-Fowler. Left here to reflect on his life and cherish his memory are his affectionate mother Muriel Hefflin Floyd, wife, Pam Brown Floyd, his loving children; Maurice Lamar Floyd, Sr, Terrell Lamont Floyd, Sr, and Autumn Lynn Denise Floyd all of Pittsburgh, PA., his adoring grandchildren, Maurice Lamar, Aniya Nyrae, Amauri Dior, Rico Lamar, Rakiya Lynae, Jada Nyjae, Terrell Lamont, Laila Terelle, Nylah Narae, Nasir Amir Floyd, devoted sister, Robbin D. Floyd-Jones (Michael) of Fort Washington, MD, dedicated brothers, Jude E. (Christine) and Mark C. (Catherine) Floyd of Pittsburgh, PA, benevolent uncles, Curtis L. (Francis) and Clyde T. (Patricia) Hefflin of Pittsburgh, PA, aunts, Ruth Hefflin of Pittsburgh, PA and Carole Floyd of Hampton, VA. There are many other relatives (nieces, nephews, cousins) neighbors and friends who will think of Ralph with warm fond memories and smile. He will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.
