Floyd Brosy, son of Jacob Jr. and Lydia (Ketterling) Brosy was born July 27, 1941 on the family farm four miles west of Wishek. He attended school in Wishek and graduated from Wishek High School in 1960. Floyd was a lifelong resident of Wishek. He began farming on his own after high school while driving semi part-time. He purchased the family farm in the early 60's. On September 1, 1979, Floyd married Sheila Orth, at the United Church of Christ in Wishek, ND. They were blessed with two daughters, Kendra and Jill. Floyd took pride in his family, home, and his farm. He enjoyed being an active member of the Wishek United Church of Christ, listening to many sermons and singing countless songs with the choir. He liked to shoot trap with his friends, he took pride in his vehicles, and was also an active member of the North Dakota Farm Bureau for many years. After retirement, Floyd enjoyed playing cards with his buddies 'up town', cooking delicious meals, and spending time driving around checking the land. His passion for farming stayed with him long after retirement and he never got tired of seeing the fruits of a farmer's labor. Floyd took great joy in his role as a grandfather to Harper Grace.
