Floyd Tyrone Boone

FLOYD’S JOURNEY Floyd Tyrone Boone, at the age of sixty-one (61), entered into eternal rest on April 8, 2026, in Augusta, Georgia. He was born on December 24, 1964, in Salisbury, Maryland, to Sedonia Boone and Floyd Boone, Sr. Many called him “Floyd” or “Boone,” but close family and friends affectionately called him “Ty.” He was educated in the Wicomico County Public School System and graduated in 1982 from Bennett High School. Floyd joined the United States Army in September of 1982. He was stationed in Germany from 1983-1985; Fort Campbell from 1985-1987; and Fort Bragg from 1987-1989. His primary specialties while serving in the United States Army were Military Police, Motor Transport Operator, Cannon Crewmember, and QM & Chemical Crewmember. While serving in the Army, he received numerous medals and awards, including the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal (two times), Army Good Conduct Medal (two times), National Defense Service Medal (three times), Southwest Asia Service Medal, and many others. Floyd was a U.S. Army war veteran. He served in Iraq as part of the military campaign Operation Iraqi Freedom/Desert Storm (1991). In addition, he served in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as part of Operation Enduring Freedom (2003). Floyd served in the Army National Guard for 20 years. His unit provided security at the Pentagon, playing a critical role in the immediate response to the 9/11 attacks on the United States (2001). Floyd retired from the U.S. Army and the National Guard in May 2004. Upon returning home, Floyd worked for the Wicomico County Corrections Center and eventually obtained employment with the Eastern Shore Correctional Institute (ECI) as a Correctional Officer. He retired from ECI in February 2010. Floyd was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished son, supportive uncle, loyal friend, and the best brother anyone could ask for. He was a man of deep faith and unwavering character. He lived his life with purpose—always showing up for others, willing to offer a helping hand, a comforting word, or a simple smile that reminded everyone they mattered. He was the kind of person you could count on. He was a stickler for always being on time and stepping forward when others stood back. He was truly a man of his word. Floyd’s love for his family ran immensely deep. He led with compassion, guided with quiet wisdom, and supported those around him with a heart full of grace. His laughter, generosity beyond measure, and unwavering commitment to doing good for others left an imprint that will never fade. Those who truly knew Floyd knew he loved to travel and often treated travel as what he called “his new job.” He believed traveling was a way to maximize life’s fulfillment. He took every opportunity to try new activities, such as getting an afternoon massage after a good workout, attending line dancing classes, and even Zumba classes—yes, Zumba—and he didn’t mind if he was the only male in the class. Floyd will be remembered not only for his words but for his actions—for the way he served, cared, and loved without hesitation. His memory will continue to inspire his family and friends to live with the same courage, faith, and compassion that he embodied each and every single day. Floyd leaves to cherish loving memories with: his beloved wife, Fawn Boone of Augusta, GA; his devoted son, Tre’ Boone of Rock Hill, SC; his daughter, Katrina Foreman of Hyattsville, MD; and his loving sister, Sharon Boone (Mike) of Augusta, GA. Also mourning Floyd’s passing are: his niece, Stephanie Clarke (Charles) and Marcelle Clarke; two nephews, Sheldon Clarke and Stanley White, Jr. (Ivey); two grandchildren, Josiah Reed and Khyla Payne of Hyattsville, MD; two great-nieces, Jada White and Jill Ergina of Carmona, Cavite, Philippines; one great-nephew, Jaiden White as well as a host of extended family and friends. Floyd was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd Boone, Sr. and Sedonia Crockett; his brother, Harry Crockett; and his goddaughter, Rihana Holley. Though the sunset has come on Floyd’s earthly journey, his light continues to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Lovingly Submitted ~ The Family
