The first of his siblings to go to college, Floyd attended South Florida Community College for two years on a football scholarship, and also played on the basketball team.[6][21][22] He transferred to Texas A&M University–Kingsville in 1995, where he also played basketball before dropping out.[23][24][25] At his tallest he was 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm)[26][27][28] and by the time of his autopsy he was 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm) tall and weighed 223 pounds (101 kg).[29]

When he was two, after Floyd's parents separated, his mother moved with the children to the Cuney Homes public housing,[6][18][19] known as Bricks, in Houston's Third Ward, a historically African-American neighborhood.[8][13][6] Floyd was called Perry as a child, but also Big Floyd; being over six feet (183 cm) tall in middle school, he saw sports as a vehicle for improving his life.[6]
Floyd attended Ryan Middle School,[20] and graduated from Yates High School in 1993. While at Yates, he was co-captain of the basketball team playing as a power forward. He was also on the football team as a tight end, and in 1992, his team went to the Texas state championships.[8][15][6][18]

Floyd was born on October 14, 1973, in Fayetteville, North Carolina, to George Perry and Larcenia "Cissy" Jones Floyd.[8][13] He had four siblings.[14][15][16] His great-great-grandfather Hillery Thomas Stewart Sr. was born as a slave but acquired his freedom in the Civil War; while Stewart was in his 20s, he acquired 500 acres (200 ha) of land but lost it to white farmers who used legally questionable maneuvers that were common at the time in the South.

The City of Minneapolis settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Floyd's family for $27 million. Chauvin was convicted on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter on April 20, 2021[10] and on June 25, 2021, was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison.[11] The trial of the other three officers at the scene of Floyd's murder is scheduled to begin on March 7, 2022
