He earned his Bachelor of Manufacturing Engineering Technology from the University of Memphis.
Collierville First Baptist Church was George’s church home where he was an active member and volunteer until moving to Olive Branch in 2019. He loved his church, especially his tight-knit Sunday school class and had a passion for serving his church family.
