Floyd Compton, 91, passed away on Saturday, June 3, 2017. He was born on June 6, 1925, to Claude and Bessie (Jones) Compton in Christian County, Missouri.
Floyd served in the Navy during WW II. After the war, he returned to Clever where he worked on a dairy farm and then drove a milk route. He then worked for Mid Am Dairy until retirement.
Since Floyd joined the Navy during his senior year of high school, he wasn't able to graduate with his class. He finally received his high school diploma during a special ceremony with the Clever High School graduating class of 2014.
Floyd was a proud life member of VFW Post 3404 and American Legion Post 639.
He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Doris (Roy) Compton; his son Ronald D. Compton (Carol Scheetz); and daughters Connie Compton (Dave Camey), and Ann Rauch (Bill). He is also survived by eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren; a brother, Willie Compton and sister, Cleva Middleton.
Burial, with military honors, in Union Ridge Cemetery, South of Clever.
