Floyd Paul Picard passed away on Thursday, February 18, 2021, at 12:02 pm at Iberia Medical Center in New Iberia.

Born in Loreauville and a lifelong resident of New Iberia, Floyd was born to Roland and Mabel Toucheque Picard on March 3, 1936.

Floyd’s life was one of service. He was a member of the Catholic Church, having served as a parishioner of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in New Iberia since 1961. He proudly served in the United States National Guard 1953-1959. As a husband and father, he provided for and protected his family, always. Through his business, F.P. Furniture, he was able to serve his community with furniture needs for 25 years. Floyd always had to be tackling some kind of project—having a wealth of knowledge in life in general, he could often be found helping family or friends by serving as a carpenter, electrician, plumber, financial advisor, cook, or in any way he could help to get things done. Floyd enjoyed fishing trips, cooking for others, all while playing some good Cajun French music. To Floyd, it was never time to leave a gathering of good friends—no matter how late it might be, Floyd will always say “You're not leaving? Mais, it’s early!”
