Kenneth Jack George

Kenneth Jack George, 76, known to many as The Man The Myth The Legend, went to be with the Lord on May 14th, 2024. He was born on October 27, 1947, to Jacob and Frances George in Jacksonville, Florida. He is predeceased by his loving mother, father and sister Patricia Ann George, most recently (03/2024). He graduated from Andrew Jackson High School in 1965. Throughout Kenny’s careers, he served in the Army Reserves, built swimming pools for a # of years, ran his own breakfast & lunch restaurant at Peninsular Ins Co building where he found the opportunity to show off his cooking skills, serving hundreds of employees as well as outside diners. In April 1988, he was fortunate enough to be hired by Sonny Rein at Napco as a driver, then eventually promoted to their event coordinator position. The Napco management, office & warehouse staff, sales reps & customers became family to Kenny over his 33-year career. Kenny excelled in his career & bonded with every person he met. He was a stickler for details as he coordinated the Jacksonville Preshow events year after year as Corporate Event Coordinator. His memory, math & communication skills were always sharp. He enjoyed happy times with his large family and friends as well as cooking, trade show travel to Las Vegas and following his beloved Florida Gators sports teams. He is survived by his loving family, sister Barbara Perry (Dave); niece Catherine Blaney (John), nephews Franklin Risk (Roberta), Donald Butcher (Amy): great nieces Megan Risk and Faith Blaney, great nephews Alexander Bergamo II (Alexis), Matthew and Brody Butcher; great-great nephew Halston Bergamo and step great great niece Haysleigh Johnson: his Aunt Mary Jane Saig and devoted friend/brother (from another mother) David (Sonny) Rein (Robyn) as well as many cousins.
