Obituary of Floyd Michael Dyer

Floyd “Mike” Dyer, 58 of Upper Deerfield Township passed away at Inspira Medical Center Vineland on November 15, 2022 after a 9 month battle with cancer with his family by his side. Mike was born in Bridgeton and was the son of Floyd and Alberta Dyer (nee Hildreth). He had been sharing a home with his new bride and love of his life Sue Davidson, for the past 8 years. He was raised in Upper Deerfield Township and graduated from Cumberland Regional High School with the class of 1983. The past several years, Mike has been employed by South Woods State Prison and in his current role of Warehouse Supervisor. Mike started his career as a Volunteer Firemen at the age of 17 and served in many fire departments across the county. His longest and most recent run has been spent at Upper Deerfield Station #33 where he has served as acting Chief since 2016. His greatest accomplishment will always be his unconditional love and friendship and at times, his twisted sense of humor. Mike’s tireless dedication to his community, friends and family will leave a void in so many of us. Mike has been a friend, a mentor and a leader to those who have been lucky enough to have been in his presence or worked by his side. He made every effort to share his knowledge and years of firefighting experience with those he took under his wing, and there were many. With Mike, you were family and he made sure you knew that. In his free time, it was limitless depending on the day. You could find Mike working in his woodshop chasing his passion of building custom tables and anything else his creativity presented, camping with his sidekick Aaron, spending time on his boat or being a master behind his grill and his love of cooking. Whatever it was, he always had an infectious smile, a sideline wise-crack, Sue by his side and a Miller Lite in his hand. In addition to his parents and his wife Sue, he is survived by two sisters, Kathleen Rizzo (Anthony) of Pittsgrove and Tracy Hampton (Bobby) of Upper Deerfield. Nephews’ Carl M. Tozer, Anthony Rizzo, Jr. and a niece Brianna Lincks. “Well done good and faithful servant” – Mathew 25:23 “We’ll take it from here” – your crew from Station #33 Funeral Services will be held at 12:00pm on Saturday, November 19th, at the PADGETT FUNERAL HOME, 1107 State Highway 77, Upper Deerfield Twp.
