FLOYD DOUGLAS SELDON peacefully entered into eternal rest on Saturday, December 26, 2020. Floyd was born December 25, 1928 in Richmond, Virginia. Floyd grew up in the Blackwell area of Southside Richmond and he stayed in this community to be near his parents and raise his family with his wife, Rosetta. Floyd was the son of the late Luther and Annie Bell Mills Seldon. He is preceded in death by his lovely wife, Rosetta Bowles Seldon and six siblings, Kermit, Linwood, Russell (Jerome), Rose Smith (Junius), Thelma, Evelyn. Floyd became a member of Sacred Heart Church in the 1970's. He was committed to this spiritual community and attended church weekly until his health declined. He has seen many priest come and go through the years but he built a bond with Father Shay Auerbach who is the senior pastor for this church. Floyd was educated in the Richmond Public School System and graduated from Armstrong High School where he met the love of his life, Rosetta Bowles. Floyd received some higher education at St. Paul's College and he served in the armed force but decided to pursue a career in food services. Floyd worked at the Capital Club in Virginia Beach for a while but he eventually transitioned to the Downtown Club of Richmond, VA and served as the banquet manager until his retirement in 2006. Floyd married Rosetta on March 11, 1953 and they celebrated 65 years of holy matrimony prior to her death. To his union, five children were born: Marcia Glass (James), Pamela Moore-deceased (Sam), Karen, Kevin and Lisa Seldon. In addition to his children, he is survived by six grandchildren: Kieara, Brandon Calvin (CJ), Precious, Cameron and Monique and two great grandsons, Christian and Karter. Floyd will always be affectionately known as "Poppidock." The family will always remember Floyd in their hearts. He was always there for his kids when they cried, for every battle they fought and the times they laughed. His strength and kindness to others will live on in his kids and grandkids.
