David Moody Jr.'s oldest son, Jordan started working part-time at the feed store when he turned 15 and continued to work during his summer and holiday breaks when home from college. In April 2016, Jordan earned his degree in Telecommunications from the College of Journalism at the University of Florida. With much excitement and joy, on May 5, 2016, he returned to Fort Myers and began working full-time as the store manager. Jordan represents the 5th generation of our family to participate in the business that was started by his great grandfather, George Futral in 1944. He married Lauren Russo in November 2021 and in March 2023, they were blessed with a daughter they named Ryleigh. Jordan enjoys watching all sports, but especially the Florida Gators and the Red Sox. He plays softball and enjoys fishing when he can.
David Moody Sr. joined Futral's Feed Store in 1958 as an 18 year old transplant from West Palm Beach, Florida. He officially joined the Futral family in July 1961 when he married Patricia Futral, George's only daughter. In 2008, David celebrated his 50th year working at the store. Throughout this time, David Sr. has done it all. He has loaded and delivered feed, waited on countless customers, answered the phone innumerable times and weighed up more birdseed than you can count. He is currently a partner in the business with his son, David Jr. He has two children, Kimberly and David Jr., eight grand children and two great grand children. His hobbies include sports card and memorabilia collecting and thrift store shopping.
David Moody Jr. joined Futral's Feed Store full-time in May, 1997. He grew up working in the store after school and during the summer months. After graduating from Riverdale High School, he attended the University of Florida where he earned a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering. He worked as a manufacturing manager with Frito Lay in Orlando, Florida for five years before returning to manage the store with his father and grandfather. He is currently the managing partner and is the fourth generation of the Futral family to work in the store. He has been married to his high school sweetheart Dawn since 1988. They have four children - Jordan, Joshua, Danielle and Darci. He is a Sunday school teacher and Elder at Northside Baptist Church. He enjoys reading, biking, fishing, watching Gator Football and Red Sox baseball.
Manager
At age 26, George Futral purchased the store from C.L. Roberts (who had previously purchased the store from Porter Nalle) in 1944. His father James Futral began working for him at that time. He had married Earline Hudson in July, 1940. He managed the store during the day and delivered feed and supplies during the evening hours. At that time, the store was located on the outskirts of town with much of the feed being delivered to the store by rail car. Since opening in 1944, much has changed in the city of Fort Myers, but his operating philosophy has remained the same - to provide quality animal and home care products at discount prices with personalized customer service. He retired from the business in 2004 after 60 years of hard work and faithful service. He passed away in September of 2007, survived by his loving wife, Earlene, until her passing in 2012. He was 89 years old and is greatly missed by his family and our community.
