More detail on this person: I am sad to
announce the passing of Wamon Floyd on the
second of July 2010. He had lived with a kidney
transplant for several years which finally failed
and required his return to dialysis for several
months. He entered into the hospital in Tacoma
Washington and was found to be riddled with
cancer. He died two days after exploratory
surgery. Wamon graduated with class 64-2W from
flight school and served with I Corps Aviation
Company 7th Platoon Fangs in 64-65 in 1971-72
he served with A/101 AVN101 ABN 60AHC. He
retired in the early 1990s as CW4 after 30 years
of service. This information was last updated 05/18/2016

As a flight school classmate of his and a fellow
Fang I can attest to his uplifting spirit, sense
of humor and devotion to duty and country. He was
loved and respected by all who served with him and
appreciated for his calm demeanor under fire.
Wamon is survived by his wife Vien, his four sons
John, James, Joe, and Jason, and three
granddaughters, Hadley, Poppy, and Tenley Floyd.
