Floyd Edward Best, 92

Floyd was the son of Hazel and Ronald Best. He passed away peacefully at home on Sept. 13, 2020. Floyd was born and raised in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and continued to live in the Coeur d'Alene area all of his 92 years.

Floyd was happily married to Joan Best for 59 years. She preceded him in death in 2012. Floyd is survived by his sister, Lois Stanea; his daughter, Glenda Bagby (husband, Drew Bagby); his son, Dwayne Best; five grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

At age 18, Floyd was drafted into the Army as a heavy equipment operator. When he returned home, he went back to graduate from Coeur d'Alene High School, which was also where he met Joan. He continued running heavy equipment and building houses.

Floyd belonged to the local rifle club, from which he became an excellent marksman and was named Idaho State Champion Target Shooter for three years in a row. Floyd enjoyed playing golf with his longtime friends. He also enjoyed water skiing and playing baseball.

Floyd's pride and joy were his children and grandchildren. He was very proud of each and every one of them.
