Floyd H. Petitt, Jr., a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend 
of many was granted his angel wings on Saturday, October 19, 2012, in his 
home at Baptist Memorials. Service were at 2 pm Wednesday, October 24, 
2012, in Johnson's Funeral Home Chapel with the Reverend James Mitchell 
officiating. Burial followed in Lawnhaven Memorials Gardens.

Floyd was born December 13, 1929, in Blackwell, Oklahoma, to Floyd H. and 
Clara May Petitt. He grew up in Satanta, Kansas, and 
graduated in 1946 from Satanta High School. Following graduation from 
college, he met the love of his life, Margaret Stansberry and 
they were married May 10, 1958, in La Feria and had 50 wonderful years 
before she passed away in 2009. He worked in the oilfields 
for Exxon and Texas Eastern for 34 years before retiring. 

He was always an active member of his church, helping with young children 
and serving as a deacon at Northside Baptist Church in Fort Stockton, 
Texas, and First Baptist Church of La Feria, Texas. Floyd and
Margaret moved to San Angelo in 1999 and became active members of 
Immanuel Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon and 
then deacon emeritus.

Floyd was a people person. He never met a stranger. He loved to visit 
with people and always helped anybody when he could. He was 
a volunteer at Baptist Memorial until his health no longer permitted him. 
While health permitted, he loved woodworking.

He is survived by a son Floyd Conley and daughter-in-law Jan; grandchildren 
Melissa Hogg and husband Cooper, Bryan Petitt, Cody Rodriguez, and 
Becca Gilbert and husband Braxton; and one very special great-granddaughter 
Micaiah Isabelle Gilbert.

Floyd's loving, caring, gentle spirit for all his family and friends will 
be missed very much. Memorials can be made to: Immanuel Baptist Church Building 
Fund, 90 East 14th Street, San Angelo, Texas 76903 or Baptist Memorial
Auxiliary in care of Don Barnfield, 902 North Main, San Angelo, Texas 76903.
