September 17, 1967 – December 7,

Of Lower East Pubnico passed away peacefully with loved ones
by his side on Dec 7, 2024 at Yarmouth Regional Hospital. He
was a son of the late Louis Joseph Amirault and Agnita Marie
(d’Entremont) Amirault. Floyd is survived by his wife
Carolyn (Hines) Amirault, brother Elroy (Cindy Dewolfe) Amirault, West
Pubnico. Niece Kaitlyn (Jeremy Lewis) Grimes, Nephews Riley
Amirault and Taylor (Brianna Urquhart) Adams. Mother-in-law Carolyn
(Larkin) Hines, Charlesville; Brother-in-Law Richard (Corrine) Hines,
Beaverdam; sisters-in-law Sandra Smith, Charlesville and Sarah Smith,

and close friends.
Besides his parents, Floyd was pre-deceased by his
sister-in-law Jill (Adams) Amirault, Father-in-law Leonard Hines and
brother-in-law James Hines.
Floyd spent his life as a commercial fisher, starting at the
age of 16, learning the different fisheries from some of what he
considered the best which included his own dad. He spent
time on the water partaking in many different fisheries working and
learning from others or on his own which included Mackerel trap,
Lobster, mossing, swordfishing, gill netting herring, crab, halibut,
longlining / handlining ground fish. While he loved the work
it was the friendships and bonds that were formed that meant the
most. He appreciated the help he received from others
throughout his career and prided himself in helping the next
generation entering the fisheries. He wanted “the next guy”
to be and have the same success within the industry as he
had. One of his proudest moments was to have his little
brother Elroy leave the deck of his vessel the Western Spray to
Captain a rig, and then eventually buying / running his own outfit and
forming Agnita Marie Fisheries.
He enjoyed time with friends and family camping, playing
cards and travelling but his favorite was snowmobiling in Northern New
Brunswick. It was often joked about how everyone headed
south, and he was headed north.
The family would like to acknowledge those that helped him
throughout his illness with cancer, the Oncology Team, Dr. Cooper and
the nurses in Palliative Care, and the care team on 4 North at
Yarmouth Regional Hospital. We also wish to express our
gratitude to the following individuals for their support and
friendship; James (Bub) Nickerson, Shannon Muise, Armond Thomas, Chris
Labour, Amanda Haley, Sandra Smith and his niece “old lady
Katie” as he lovingly called her.
