Floyd Leon Killough, 82, of Monticello, went to be with his Lord and Savior Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at Baptist Drew Memorial Hospital in Monticello. He was born August 14, 1942, in Jonesboro to the late Chester Amicus ''Pete'' Killough and Hazel Mae Milligan Killough.
He was a retired farmer and Arkansas Baptist Home houseparent. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Monticello, loved going to church, and was at church the Sunday before he went home to be with his Lord.
He also loved doing anything outdoors including endless hours on a lawnmower. Not only did he love all his children at the Baptist Home, he and Mrs. Jane love all children everywhere whether they are in the church nursery, Sunday School classes, or the workers from Rays. They were all very special to him.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Joe Ed Killough; and a sister, Hazel Ann Frazure.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Jane Killough of Monticello; three brothers, Bill Killough of Oklahoma, Jerry Killough and Mike Killough both from Jonesboro; along with a special niece, Suzy Jones of Bono.
Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Friday, May 30, 2025, at Stephenson-Dearman Funeral Chapel with Dr. Kelly Jones officiating. There was a visitation Friday morning preceding the funeral service from 10-11 a.m. at the funeral home. Burial was in Union Ridge Cemetery.
