Floyd

Coburn

Reflections
RECEIVE ME NOW, O LORD

Floyd Coburn was born March 28,
1945, to the late George T. and Mable
Coburn. Floyd developed a personal
relationship with God at an early age
under the leadership of Reverend T. L.
Bayce. During his walk of life, God had
some work for him. He joined the mass
choir, the male choir, and later called to
the ministry. He was a faithful servant.
Floyd was a mechanic for the City of
Memphis for many years prior to his
retirement.
He was preceded in death by: his parents,
George and Mable Coburn; five sisters, Lillian Boxily, Ella

Coburn, Nellie Prewitt, Willie Ann Mull, and Joyce Webber-
Nelson; two brothers, Reverend Eddie Coburn and William

Coburn; and a son, Michael Coburn.
Reverend Floyd Coburn departed this life to his eternity home on
October 26, 2020. He leaves to cherish his memories: a daughter,
Felice Coburn; two sons, Demetrius Coburn (Kimberly) and
Floyd Lee Coburn; six grandchildren, Vernetria Cathey, Derrick
Green, Demetrius Coburn, Jr., Daveren Coburn, Zahria Skye
Iseler, and Londyn Zyrie Burleson; three sisters, Maxine Coburn
of Cleveland, OH, Carolyn Kee (Kenneth) of Somerville, TN,
and Rita Webber-Wlliams (Calvin) of Memphis, TN; and a host
of nieces, nephews, cousins, and church family.
Floyd was better known as "Mane." He was full of life and an
awesome mechanic and it was very fitting that he was employed
doing something he was good at and passionate about. He walked
tall and spoke even taller when he had to put you in your place.
His humor and uncandid wit will provide us fond memories.
Mane will truly be missed.

John 14:1-2

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in
me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I
would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
