Reverend Tyrone J. Floyd, son of Otis Floyd Jr. (deceased) and Margie Bethea Floyd- Davis was born on November 14, 1971 in Charlotte, NC and departed this life on November 1, 2024. Reverend Floyd graduated from West Charlotte High School in Charlotte NC in 1991 and graduated Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC in 1995. Reverend Tyrone J. Floyd was called into the ministry in May of 1996 under the watchful eye of Bishop C. M. Beatty Jr. of New Covenant Bibleway Church, located in Charlotte, NC. While there he worked on several boards while furthering his studies at the local church’s Christian Institute. Being led by God, Reverend Floyd and family moved to Raleigh, NC and entered into Zion- Methodism at Holland Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church under Pastor Lawrence R. Turner (current Presiding Elder of the Durham District). There he served as a Local Preacher, Youth Pastor and Choir Manager for four years. It was while serving at Holland Chapel Reverend Floyd completed his District Studies and was then led to return home to Charlotte and became a local preacher in the Wadesboro-Monroe District, where he joined Rock Hill A.M.E. Zion Church. While serving as Local Preacher there, he was given charge over the youth once again and established the church’s first Children’s Institute under Presiding Elder, Murray L. Edwards. During this time Reverend Floyd completed all 4 years of Zion Methodist- Conference Studies, received his Deacon’s Orders and Elder’s Orders. Upon reaching this benchmark in his ministry, he was immediately appointed Pastor of Simfield A.M.E. Zion Church by Bishop George C. Walker at the 2008 -2009 Annual Conference, where he served faithfully for 4 years. Today, he is delighted to serve Union Springs AME Zion Church as their Pastor for the 11th consecutive year. He proudly served as a Professor on the Conference level teaching others what only came naturally to him. He was equally proud to have been accepted into the Master’s program at Hood Theological Seminary in Salisbury, NC. Reverend Floyd lived a full life enjoying travel, fishing, music, preaching and family. His love of God radiated in everything he did. Reverend Tyrone J.
