Floyd Allen May, 79, of Star, formerly of Ontario passed away Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2011 at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center - Meridian.

Floyd was born Nov. 30, 1931 in Payette, ID to John W. and Edna N. (Stout) May. He attended Payette Westside, Jr. High, and Sr. High School; graduating in 1950. Floyd then enrolled in Lewis and Clark College for a year before he enlisted in the US Navy, serving aboard the USS Boyd Destroyer. After he was Honorably Discharged in June 1955 he went to work for Vogt Transfer Co. as an accountant. Floyd married Patricia Y. Johnson on Aug. 21, 1955 in Payette. Floyd went to work at Ore-Ida Foods Traffic Dept. in accounting. He went to work for N.A.C.A. Trucking as an accountant until his retirement in 2000. During this time he also played piano six nights a week at Cheyenne Social Club and O'Michaels until 2008. In 2006, Floyd and Pat moved to Star to be closer to family. At that time he began playing at retirement homes weekly in and around the area until 2010 when he became too ill to play. His playing brought comfort and happiness to all who heard his music; all the retirement homes still call asking him to come back. Floyd would still play occasionally, whether he felt well or not, for family members; playing last week for Pat's birthday. He would never say no to playing for his health care providers when they came to visit. He delighted in playing everyone's favorite songs. Floyd had written two songs especially for Pat, the love of his life. He was a member of the V.F.W. Ontario Post #5452, Professional Musician's Assoc., Ontario First Baptist Church, and The Heights Church in Eagle. Floyd is survived by his wife, Patricia Y. May of Star; his children, Karen M. Norris (Ron) of Boise, Judy A. Browning (Rob) of Boise, and Steven A. May (Bobbi) of Eagle; one sister, Donabea Reed of Haysville, KS; eight grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. His grandparents, parents John and Edna May, daughter Carleen Y. May, and two grandsons preceded him in death.
