He was born in Waycross, Georgia in 1939 to Eldren Renee and Albert Gottrell Hunnicutt (deceased). Dad attended Waycross High School and received his Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. He was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.

With his wife and two children, he lived in Atlanta, GA; Seneca, SC; Merritt Island, FL; Prairie Village, KS, before returning to Georgia in 1986 settling in Alpharetta and most recently Roswell.

George spent his civil engineering career managing construction projects starting with E I du Pont de Nemours & Co (Seaford, DL), Charles M Graves (Atlanta, GA), and Duke Power Company (Seneca, SC). The majority of his career was in the Power Division of Black & Veatch (Kansas City, KS; Atlanta, GA) as a Business Development Director. He retired as the Energy Group General Manager for the Southeast US Region in 1996.

He will be sincerely missed by his family and friends; yet we are comforted in knowing that because of his profession of faith in Jesus Christ, we know he is fully healed and in the presence of the Lord.
