Commissioner Tidd led the Canada and Bermuda Territory from 2019 to 2023.
----- Obituary of Commissioner Floyd J. Tidd -----
Commissioner Floyd J. Tidd, beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and son was Promoted to Glory on May 31, 2024 at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, Ontario surrounded by his family. A devoted friend to many and a dedicated officer of The Salvation Army, Floyd’s pilgrimage of faith touched countless lives around the world.

Born in Sudbury, Ontario, Floyd was an active member of The Salvation Army corps (church) throughout his childhood and teenage years. After completing a Bachelor of Science degree with the intent to pursue medicine, Floyd instead responded to God’s call to become a Salvation Army officer, a vocation he shared with his best friend and wife, Tracey. Together they were partners in the gospel, serving in a wide variety of appointments over their 37 years of ministry. These included church-planting, youth and camping ministries, corps officer, as well as leadership roles at Divisional and Territorial levels, culminating in their roles as Territorial leaders of The Salvation Army in the Australian, and Canada & Bermuda Territories.

Floyd was passionate about discipleship and encouraging Christ-centred, Kingdom-focused leadership. He believed wholeheartedly that corps-ministry is the foundation and the crucible of The Salvation Army’s mission in the world. Floyd considered it a privilege to minister alongside others as equal partners in the gospel and his door was always open to everyone. He believed it a sacred duty to preach the Word of God and like Jeremiah, he experienced “a burning in his bones” to share the gospel. He will be remembered by Salvationists around the world as a man who gave his life in service to God and in the pursuit of discipleship in The Salvation Army.

Floyd’s infectious laugh, quick wit, and ability to befriend anyone in an instant, will long be remembered by colleagues and those privileged to call him friend. He was a man of God gifted with a strategic and visionary mind, and an incredible ability to inspire others to listen to God’s call on their life and ministry. Floyd was never one to give a direct answer when asked for advice, understanding how important it was for people to find their own path. He was an influential mentor, spiritual father, wise counsellor to countless people, and stood out among his peers as a man of unparalleled integrity.
