David Merle (Mule) Floyd
Astoria
Dec. 26, 1947 — March 5, 2021
Astoria
Aug. 11, 1947 — Feb. 15 2021
David Merle (Mule) Floyd was the son of Rich-
ard M. Floyd and Helmi Marie (Kojo) Floyd. He
grew up on a small farm in Svensen and attended
school in Knappa. David left school
after his junior year and went to work for
Ocean Foods Cannery.
During slow seasons, he worked as
a casual laborer aboard the M/V Sal-
vage Chief. He was drafted by the U.S.
Army in 1969 and served 13 months in
Vietnam.
After being discharged Dave was
hired by Crown Zellerbach, operating
machinery until the company sold out
in 1985. Following Crown he worked as a tim-
ber tramp for numerous gypo logging companies
until he was offered a deck hand job for Tweed
Towing.
Dave was employed by Brix Towboat Co. after
they acquired Tweed, and then Foss when they
bought out Brix. His favorite job with Foss was on
the Dean Foss, sailing the Alaska Inside Passage
supplying logging camps.
His Foss adventures covered Alaska, Russia,
Hawaii, Guam and the East Coast towing decom-
missioned ships, and several voyages towing relief
aid barges to Puerto Rico and Haiti. After suffer-
ing a silent heart attack while at sea, Dave retired
from Foss in 2009.
His hobbies included gold pan-
ning, video poker and poker with the
American Legion crew, and research-
ing the history of old mountain
men and cowboys. He also had a great
knowledge of many old time baseball
greats.
Dave would schedule his tow boating
so he could have the fall season to hunt
elk and pursue the elusive record book
Blacktail Buck.
Dave is survived by his brother, Donald (Mar-
ilyn), of Svensen, and a cousin, Laura (David)
Hornibrook, of Tigard. He was preceded in death
by both parents and his older brother, Dennis
Floyd.
Dave was a big supporter of the Wounded War-
rior Project. In his honor, donations can be made
online to supportwwp.org/wwp
A celebration of life will be held at a later
date.
