It is with great sadness that the family of Floyd announce his sudden passing into the presence of his Lord in the early morning hours of September 10, 2021 at Charlotte Englehart Hospital in Petrolia. Floyd was born on September 20, 1937 and lived his entire life in Sarnia. During his lifetime he travelled millions of miles throughout North America as a long-haul trucker as well as owning various businesses in the area earlier in his career. Throughout his life, Floyd always had a ready smile and a generous heart which he used to bless many people. He is remembered by his ever-loving wife Connie. He was predeceased by his son Charles (Chuck) Oakes in 2010. He is survived by his step-daughters Bonnie Knowles, Laurie Palozzi (Nick), Charlene Bleijerveld (Jeff), as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Interment has taken place at Lakeview Cemetery. Sympathy may be expressed through donations to Alzheimer Society of Sarnia-Lambton or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation (cheques mailed to the funeral home or made online, please). Arrangements entrusted to SMITH FUNERAL HOME, 1576 London Line, Sarnia.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Floyd Theophilus Oakes September 20th 1937 September 10th 2021..
