"It was just amazing — everywhere you go and see people how they cling to him, they wanted to be around him," Philonise said. "You know, George, he was a like a general. Every day he walks outside, there be a line of people ... wanting to greet him and wanting to have fun with him." Those who knew Floyd spoke of his commitment to his community and the impact he had through ministry. He wanted to give a voice to the voiceless, and he served as a "person of peace" in his neighborhood. He "wanted to see his community change" and "leveraged his street relationships to help forge church in the area," he said. "Every guy who was selling drugs on that block ended up coming to Bible study. That's George Floyd's impact." 🙏🏾 They told the kids that they could play in the basketball tournament if they attended church. "'Once they came out, they were like, 'That was good. That's church? I'm going back,'" Lillard said. “He would jump right in and help set up and take down chairs for church services on the basketball court, and he helped drag pools over for baptism services," Paul said. 🙏🏾 “Big Floyd was always full of joy and loved everyone around him." Floyd's message was simple: "I'm not perfect. I got just as many flaws as the next man, but we have to change, and we have to be different people." He challenged people to "use your voice, be a voice for the voiceless."
