Statement from Mayor H Compton on the Passing of Former Mayor Roy V Floyd Press Release - On behalf of the entire City of Bonham, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of former Mayor Roy V Floyd. He passed away surrounded by family at his home in Bonham, TX, on October 29, 2025.
from 2005 to 2021. He was on June 30, 2021, with Roy for Bonham is the reason that 07/02/19 the first Mayor to be elected by my side. Beyond its mili- we have a future with endless
Mayor Floyd was a dedicated public servant who led our city with vision, passion, and integrity. Roy served in some part of municipal government for over 40 years. He spent 22 years as the Mayor of Bonham, serving from 1981 to 1987 and
by the people of Bonham in 2007 as the city moved from a City Commission to a City Council and thus will always be remembered as the “People’s First Mayor of Bonham.” More than just a leader, Mayor Floyd was a true champion for the people of Bonham. He will be remembered for his leadership, his unwavering commitment to every neighborhood, and his ability to unite people behind a common goal. It was my pleasure to dedicate, in name, the old Armory building as the Roy V Floyd Community Center
tary function, the term "armory" can also refer to all the weapons a country owns, or metaphorically to a collection of resources, qualities. It is so fitting that this building will be one of Roy’s lasting legacies in name, as he was the mayor who gathered the resources for the foundation upon which we are building today. Bonham City Manager Sean Pate echoes these thoughts in this statement, “Roy was the model for civic responsibility. He had both passion and desire for the betterment of Bonham and Fannin County. His vision
possibilities.” The flags of all City buildings have been lowered to half-mast in tribute to Roy’s distinguished service. We extend our deepest condolences to the Floyd family and all those who mourn this tremendous loss. He leaves behind a legacy of service that will not be forgotten. I leave you with the lasting words that I heard Roy speak many times to the people of Bonham, “God Bless you all, God Bless Bonham, Texas, and God Bless the USA.”
