Floyd was called to be a pastor. He began his ministry in southern
California and was licensed in 1962 with the Southern California
District. He & Joann pioneered a church in Sunnymead, California
which is still going strong today. He was ordained in 1967 at the
Northern California/Nevada District Council. In 1972, the Osban

resigned his last church on his 80th birthday; he then continued in
ministry as an associate pastor leading the seniors, and then held
services at their assisted living facility for 3 years.
Floyd was a dedicated and loving father. His knowledge and guidance
was the foundation of his family. Anyone who knew Floyd knew that
he was a most loving husband, father, and grandfather. Floyd joins his
father, Floyd Albert; mother, Iva; baby sisters, Alice May and Barbara
Jean; and son, Floyd Jr in Heaven. He is survived by his sister, Fern;
his brother, Charles; his wife, Joann; his daughters, Jeanine, Judy,
and Darlene; his son, Darrell; 14 grandchildren, and 11 great
grandchildren.
Throughout his entire life, he held an unwavering faith in God, which
he shared with those who surrounded him. His passion was serving
Jesus first and then his family. His desire for his family and friends
are found in his parting words, “If I don’t see you again down here, I’ll
meet you up there.”
