A funeral was held Saturday for the Delaware prison guard killed during an inmate uprising.
Visitations were held Friday and Saturday for Lt. Steven Floyd at Delaware State University Memorial Hall. Saturday's visitation was followed by a funeral service and interment at a cemetery in Frederica.
Floyd, 47, was found dead on February 2 after a hostage standoff at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center near Smyrna. A medical examiner ruled his death a homicide by trauma. No further details were released. The president of the prison guards union called Floyd a dedicated officer with a wife, children and grandchildren who worked overtime to help put his children through college.
A fundraiser cookout was held at the Cabela's store at the Christiana Mall in Floyd's honor. All proceeds from the event are going towards a fund set up by Floyd's family.
