David Alan George

David Alan George was born on June 17, 1960 to his parents John and Vera George, in Dearborn, Michigan. After a four-year battle with colon cancer, David peacefully passed away, surrounded by his loving wife and family, on July 29, 2020, at the age of 60. He is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years, Karen, as well as his loving parents John and Vera George. He is the dear brother of Deborah (Vincent) Fary, Gregory (Chris) George, and Michele (Tom) Hughes. David loved his nieces and nephews Elizabeth, Victoria, Jonathan, Joseph, Brooke, Aryssa, Alexa, Dana, Aubreigh, Branson, Rowan, and Vincenzo. David will be missed by many cousins, extended family, friends, and coworkers.

David grew up in Dearborn Heights and resided there for 36 years. He enjoyed his days in the Heights by spending time with family and friends. Karen and Dave moved to Livonia in 1996. David loved his new neighborhood and developed close friendships with many of his neighbors. He was the neighborhood handy man and assisted any neighbor that needed help repairing outdoor equipment, bikes, cars, etc.

His absolute favorite thing to do was spend time with his family, which always included a delicious meal, spending time socializing, and telling stories about his many adventures in life. He enjoyed teasing his nieces, nephews, and friend’s children, and they enjoyed it just as much!

David loved to travel and made many memories traveling and camping to his favorite destination, the Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan. While traveling throughout his life, he visited over thirty states. Twenty-six years ago, friends and family started a yearly tradition of visiting Mackinac Island. Dave was the main source of entertainment for the kids. He was the expert kite flyer as well as the chief bike mechanic on the many adventures throughout the island.

David will be remembered for his loving heart, adventurous personality, and willingness to help anyone who needed a helping hand.
