Georgios I Kyriakou

George was born on Feb 1st, 1948 to his parents, Ioannis and Dimitra in the small Greek village of Xironomi. He loved sports, the sea, and the Mediterranean lifestyle. While playing soccer in his youth, he managed to acquire an education and fulfill a two year military service requirement with the Hellenic Air Force. He immigrated to the US with a drive to succeed and fulfill the American Dream. His journey brought him first to Chicago where his entrepreneurial spirit took flight. After Chicago was Seattle, until finally settling in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, a place he called paradise. Fifty years after coming to the US and running multiple businesses throughout his life, George finally hung up his entrepreneur jacket in 2023, ultimately retiring from this earth to his new eternal home on April 13, 2024. Georgios I. Kyriakou, may he rest peacefully.

George is preceded in death by his mother: Dimitra, father: Ioannis, and his brother: Efthemios.  

George is survived by his former spouse, Theoni, and daughter, Dimitra.
