Floyd Mitchum, 74, Muskogee, OK, passed away on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at Pleasant Valley Health Care Center.

He was born in Phillip County, Arkansas on May 25, 1947 to Aron Mitchum, Sr. and Jethena Scaife Mitchum. He was the sixth child of 13 Mitchum children. He graduated from South Pemiscot High School in Steele, Missouri. After moving to Muskogee to join his brother, Floyd met and married Gloria Jean Williams on his 21st birthday, becoming father to her two children. They moved to Kansas City for a short time before returning to Muskogee. He was ordained a deacon at Little Rose Baptist Church.

Floyd had a great sense of humor. He always had a joke or some short story about being an Okie from Muskogee. He loved being on the fishing bank and basketball court shooting his famous sky hook in cowboy boots and a ten-gallon hat.

Floyd was preceded in death by his wife Gloria Jean Mitchum, his parents, his sister Odessa M. Gatewood, St. Louis, MO, his brothers Napoleon Mitchum, Larnell Mitchum, and Otis Mitchum, Pittsburgh, PA.

He is survived by his daughter and granddaughter Evelyn and Shayla Mitchum, Dallas, TX, his son Shannon Williams, Dallas, TX, his brothers Aron Mitchum Jr. and Rev. Gary Mitchum (Helen), Muskogee, OK, his brother Terry Mitchum, Pittsburgh, PA, and his brother Stanley Mitchum (Veronica), Silver Spring, MD, his sisters Helen Noel (Chris), Charlotte, NC, Lucille Hayes, Columbus, OH, Loes Hedge (Bill), and Edie Smith (Paul), Pittsburgh, PA, twenty-five nieces and nephews and numerous great-nieces and nephews and friends.

A Service reflecting upon his life will commence on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at 1:00 PM in the most holy sanctuary of the New Zion Missionayr Baptist Church, where his brother, Reverend Gary Mitchum, Sr., is the Pastor.

Burial will follow in the Booker T. Washington Cemetery in Muskogee.  You may visit Mr. Mitchum, as he slumbers in peaceful repose at the funeral home on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 between the hours of 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM.
