Floyd Cress also known as Cy Cress entered eternal rest on Jan. 27, 2017 in Deming. N.M. Cy was 96 years old and is preceded in death by his parents Floyd Henry Cress (father) Alma Prenevost Cress (mother) and Lois Cress (sister). He was born in Low Point III. Cremation has taken place at Terrazas Mortuary in Deming, New Mexico. A celebration of his life will be announced at a Later date.

Cy served his country honorably in the United States Army from 1941 to 1945. His specialty was a veterinary technical 250 and he served in the southern Philippines. Cy received the Asiatic Pacific service medal, American defense service medal, World War II Victory Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and the Philippine Liberation Ribbon with a Bronze Star. He was also a survivor of the Yellow fever that took the lives of twelve men he served with.

Cy received his BA from the University of Denver and his major was Journalism. Cy was a stellar story teller and a gifted writer. His ability to convey his words to the written page took him all over the world on many different assignments.

Cy was the product of the great depression. He was one of the elite whose life during the depression made him very frugal and it developed an artistic and creative bent in all that he did. Everything had a second and third use and nothing was wasted and one man’s trash became another man’s treasure. He was well known in the flea market world and loved a good junk shop or yard sale. He was always looking for that unique bargain or special find.

Cy was interested in people’s lives and had a wonderful sense of humor that was the dominating factor of every situation. Cy will be remembered for his elegant manners, good conversation and wise words. Cy was a walking, talking history book and his friends never tired of hearing about his travels all over the world.

Cy was grateful for his life and often talked about life and living to be 96 years young. He often talked about how the many twists and turns in life are not to be questioned but to be embraced and that its all in Gods great plan and Gods ways are always at the forefront and his faith would always bring him through whatever lies ahead.

​Cy’s idea of heaven is a gigantic never ending flea market. His last spoken words were “ Life is Go
