Rev. Floyd Walker B'Hymer was born in Independence Kentucky on March 1st, 1938.  He was called to preach at the age of 18 under the ministry of Bob Baldridge at the First Evangelical Methodist Church in Covington, Kentucky.  He turned down a four year music scholarship to the University of Kentucky to attend Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky and completed his Masters of Divinity at Asbury Seminary.

In his junior year of college he married his high school sweet heart JoAnn Barnett and they served together faithfully for over 58 years in the ministry with the Evangelical Methodist Church.  He served as Pastor at American Avenue in Lexington, Kentucky; Macon, Georgia; Spartanburg, South Carolina; Covington, Kentucky; Parkersburg, West Virginia; Dalton, Georgia and Salem, Virginia.  He then served as the Central Lakes District Superintendent for six years while residing in Columbus, Indiana.

He and JoAnn retired to Tomball, Texas in 2008 to be near their daughter Pam, husband John and grandchildren Landon and Zack.

In his retirement he filled the pulpit for the Nazarene church in the cities of Victoria, Texas; Corpus Christi, Texas, Pasadena, Texas, and The Woodlands, Texas while the churches were in search for a pastor.

In the last few weeks of his life he was still reaching out to those around him in the hospital as he witnessed to Nurses, Doctors and anyone who entered the room.  He will be greatly missed and we are thankful for the many years we were able to have him with us.

His favorite scripture is 1 John 1:7 (KJV)  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

He favorite color was blue.  He loved hunting and fishing.  His motto's were, Be a help not a hinderance,  Keep it short and you must win people to yourself before you can win them to Christ.
