Floyd Mahaffey passed away after courageously battling cancer for many years. He died peacefully surrounded by his family on Monday March 18th, 2019 at the age of 68. He was born March 28th, 1950 in Pasco, Washington to Lincoln Mahaffey Jr. and Genevieve (Johnson) Mahaffey. During his high school years, he was a wrestler and achieved his Eagle Scout award. Following his graduation from Pasco Senior High School in 1968, he served an honorable two-year mission to Australia for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He married the love of his life, Lanai (Colwell) Mahaffey, on February 11th, 1972. Together, Floyd and Lanai raised five children, and his wife, children and grandchildren were his pride and joy. He began working in the family business as a young boy, eventually becoming an owner with his brothers. He completed his career working for the City of Richland for over 23 years. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Lanai, his five children Ryan (Sheri), Kim (Eden), Jaime, Niki (Karl), and Tooty, his 17 grandchildren who fondly called him 'Papa', his father Lincoln Jr., his siblings Glen Sr. (Paula), Kathy (Steve), Sid, and his Sister-in-law Kristy as well as numerous other relatives and friends. Floyd was proceeded in death by his grandparents Walter and Evelyn Dorendorf, Lincoln Mahaffey Sr. and Mary Alice Mahaffey, his mother Genevieve, his identical twin brother Fred, his nephews Glen Jr. and Dayne Hansen, and his great niece Brittany Sample. Floyd was our hero, champion, philosopher, comic relief, and example of Christ-like love. He was an unwavering source of strength, commitment, and love and he dedicated his life to lifting and building others. He was passionate about service throughout his life, and was known to help anyone he could at a moment's notice. Although he was a quiet and thoughtful man, his smile lit up the room and his sense of humor and adventure, combined with his pure joy for life, inspired us all. His jokes and quick-witted comebacks provided many instances of laughter, and he strived to always have a good time. He loved to work, and he worked hard every day of his life. He always had a project and his mind was often thinking about how to efficiently and correctly get a job done! He enjoyed travelling and exploring, and his practical personality made him fearless. He also had a steadfast faith in The Plan of Salvation, and he loved Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He truly lived his life to the fullest, and even though we all miss him dearly and feel a loss like none we have experienced before, we celebrate the man that he was and the life that he lived.
