The bodies of Brian A. Floyd, 33, of Greenwood and his 10-month-old son Harper Floyd were found by authorities in a remote area near the father’s abandoned pickup.
The memorial service has been scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday (Aug. 2) at Community Bible Church at 9201 Dallas St. in Fort Smith, according to the obituary.
“Brian was a warm kind son, a generous brother, a fun loving cousin, and an exceptional father. His passion was the beauty of nature which he showed in his creative landscaping around our area, and in his continuous outdoor adventures. He and Harper are at peace together,” the obituary states.
