Floyd J. White, of Northville, formerly of Bloomfield Hills, a proud veteran, business owner, and father passed into eternal life on Saturday morning, November 29, 2025, at Pomeroy Senior Living.  He was 96 years old.

Born May 7, 1929, to the late Floyd H. and Rose (Harpin) White, Floyd grew up in Farmington, Michigan, where the values of hard work and self-reliance took root early in his life. After graduating high school, he answered the call to serve his country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict and was stationed in France. Following his military service, Floyd pursued his education and earned his bachelor's degree in engineering from Lawrence Technological University in 1956.

Floyd returned from service to marry Eileen (Foucault) White and was blessed with seven children. A self-made man, he was proud to be self-employed for 50 years. He owned and operated St. Clair, Inc. in Farmington Hills and Novi, where he published technological engineering manuals for automotive and military applications. His work reflected his passion for precision and his eye for detail. Even after selling the company at age 81, Floyd continued to work until he was 85, embodying a lifelong dedication to purpose and productivity.

Floyd shared 30 years of marriage with his cherished wife, Martha Atkinson. They became part of each other's families, sharing in many visits and family gatherings, in addition to their other adventures. They made many wonderful memories with each other.

Beyond his professional achievements, Floyd was a man of many interests and quiet joys. He loved golf and took pleasure in seeing golfers out on the course as he passed by. He truly missed the game in recent years. He had a deep passion for reading and loved to travel; of all the places he visited, Peru held a special place in his heart. He enjoyed playing pool and even brought a pool table to his retirement community. If he wasn't in his apartment, you would know where to find him. He got a kick out of reciting old poems and singing old-time songs, often bringing a smile to those around him. Moreover, he enjoyed reading to his daughter, Lisa's first grade class for many years.  A well-dressed gentleman with a keen sense of humor, Floyd entertained his caregivers at Pomeroy Senior Living, who came to know and appreciate his wit.

Floyd was a generous member of the Novi Rotary Club, giving back to his community in meaningful ways. In his later years, he often expressed gratitude to his children, who managed his care. He often said he was "truly blessed" to have such a wonderful family.  In a moment that brought him and his family profound comfort, Floyd reconnected with Jesus just hours before his passing.

Floyd is survived by his seven children, Barbara (Charles) Dobis, Cindy (Arthur) Barrett, Steve (LaRee) White, Cathy (Steve) Geanides, Chris (Marleen) White, Lisa (Doug) Haskin, and Nina (Don) Haskin; grandchildren, Rachael Dobis, Megan (Sam) Baris, Jessanna White, Danielle (Steve) Smarch, Anthony (Amber) White, Bradley Haskin, Chrisina Ary, Jennifer (Sonny) Izenwata, and Matthew Ary; and great-grandchildren, Isla and Ben Baris, Lucas Wilkenson, Alex, Evie and Elaina Smarch, Kinsley, Reagan, and Mason White, and Cayden and Christian Izenwata.  He was preceded in death by his wife of 30 years, Martha Atkinson, a grandson, Andrew Barnett, and his sister, Alma Campbell.

In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes are suggested to the Salvation Army .

Floyd's immediate family will gather for his interment at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan, where his service to his country and the rich, full life he lived will be honored with love and gratitude.
