Floyd L. “Pat” Smith — Hansen-Spear

Floyd L. “Pat” Smith, age 86, of Camp Point, passed away on Friday, May 30, 2025 at 8:29 p.m. in Blessing Hospital.

Pat was born on March 17, 1939 in Quincy, a son of Ethel Dyer Smith. On June 3, 1989, he married Evelyn Peters in Palmyra, MO. She survives.

Pat dedicated 45 years of his life to Quincy Compressor, where he built a long and respected career before retiring in 2001. A true outdoorsman at heart, he found joy in hunting, fishing, mushroom hunting, and tending to his vegetable garden. He also had a knack for painting cars, a hobby he pursued with skill and pride. Pat cherished time with his family, especially during game nights, and he delighted in playing Santa Claus for the children each holiday season. A natural storyteller with an easy smile, Pat never met a stranger. His warmth and disposition left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
