My heart goes out to my friend George. We met in 2004 and you were so much like Jesus. "The same yesterday , today and forever". You took pride in helping me take care of my home. I have been trying to reach you for weeks and just today met this horrible news. I'm sitting outside as I write this and asking God to take care of your love ones. My life is better because of your dedication and walk. Go Rest High on that Mountain.

George was the true definition of a good man, great neighbor, and awesome friend. I never had to ask him for anything. He always knew when something was needed and did it without asking and didn't want or expect anything in return. My life is truly better and blessed to have not only known him but had the honor to call him a friend. He will be missed but NEVER forgotten. Rest In Peace my friend.

I want you to know that my family and I will be lifting you up in prayer and asking for God's comfort and peace during this incredibly hard time. I knew George from the gym and he was always a positive influence on everyone around him. His smile and ridiculous physical strength will certainly be missed. May the Lord comfort you and your family with exactly what you need. God Bless.

Angel and the Allen Family, It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest sympathies. George was such a genuine and kind man and would never walk past without a smile and a gracious word. He had a rare quality of lifting people up, because he truly cared about others. He will be so very missed. I pray the love of God enfolds you all during this very sad time.
