Floyd Samuel Wilcox

March 14, 1938 — February 13, 2024

Floyd Wilcox, our beloved father, brother, uncle, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away on February 13, 2024. He was born March 14, 1938, the son of David and Ann Wilcox. He was raised and resided in Syracuse, Utah. He married his eternal companion, Gaylene Knight, on November 21, 1962, in the Logan Temple. She was the love of his life. Together they raised five children.

He was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with an unwavering testimony. He served as a missionary in the South Pacific Island/Tonga Mission and spent nearly three years on the island of Niue. Later in life, he served as a missionary in Prague, Czech and at the Ogden Cannery.

He became a well-known assistant principal of Clearfield High School and was recognized by many as the “Golden Voice of the Falcons.” His sense of humor, perspective, faith, love, charitable nature and compassionate care made him easy to relate to.

He is survived by his beloved brother and sister, Norman Wilcox and Rosanne Birch. He is also survived by his and Gaylene’s children Bill (Julie) Wilcox, Leon (Mary) Wilcox, Karen (Lloyd) Cheney, Bryce (Kathleen) Wilcox, Jill (Adam) Hess, and many nieces and nephews. He had 10 grandsons, two granddaughters, and two great-grandchildren all of whom he loved more than anything.
