Floyd J. McCutcheon August 10, 1944 - February 22, 2020

Floyd passed away Saturday, Feb. 22, 2020, from congestive heart failure, surrounded by family and loved ones at Samaritan Evergreen Hospice in Albany. Floyd was born in Eugene, OR to Jasper and Irene McCutcheon and grew up in the Eugene, Springfield area.  He graduated in 1962 from Springfield High School along with his high school sweetheart, Judy Jones.  He and Judy were married in June 1963.

Floyd worked in the wood industry for more than twenty years in La Grande, Burns and finally settling in Albany in 1978 with his wife Judy and two children; Dan McCutcheon and Kathy McCutcheon Stalheim.  He retired from Oregon Freeze Dry in February of 2000, after 20 years working in the warehouse in a supervisor position.

He was very active in sports, with basketball being his favorite. His love of baseball led him to coach Little League while living in Burns.  After retiring, he and his wife joined the Alpenlite Travel Club making many new friends, as well as taking up golf while snowbirding in Brownsville, TX.  He played 18 holes nearly every weekday until a shoulder injury threw him a curve. He also enjoyed bowling, hunting, fishing, and camping.  Many days were spent at Green Peter Reservoir with the family ski boat, the "Okehphyne".

He loved playing the guitar, listening to country music and reading hundreds of books, especially on his e-reader.  His passion was working in his woodshop, creating many models as close to scale as possible of lighthouses, trucks, his 5th wheel, aircraft, the Weddle Bridge in Sweet Home, and many more.

Floyd is survived by wife Judy McCutcheon; son Dan McCutcheon; daughter Kathy McCutcheon Stalheim; four grandchildren, Meshaila Purpura, Regen McCutcheon, Hayden Purpura, and Cheyenne McCutcheon; and great-granddaughter Hazel Anundson-Purpura. Also, surviving are brothers John and Jesse McCutcheon; sisters Norma Gilbert and Jeanne Ley; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by five sisters and two brothers.

Floyd was loved by many and will be missed dearly.  A gathering of friends and family will be held at 2 p.m. on May 16, 2020, at the family home in Millersburg.  Please RSVP to Judy.  Please go to www.aasum-dufour.com  for more information.
