The Gadsden Civitan Club sends our deepest sympathies to the family of Jack Floyd who recently passed away. Floyd's tenure as a lawyer was almost matched by his time as a Gadsden Civitan Club member with about 60 years as a member of the civic club. He was one of the longest serving members of the club and served as president from 2013 to 2014.

Jack's Gadsden law firm expressed it well in a Facebook post Wednesday: The legal community lost one of the greats with the death of Jack Floyd.

"Jack was beloved by the bench and the bar," Etowah County Presiding Judge William Ogletree said. "He loved the law and serving others.

"One thing you could count on with Jack: He made sure you heard his clients' voices," the judge said. "He vigorously represented his clients. He will be sorely missed."
