George Kulund Obituary

George Kulund 2/6/1950 - 4/19/2014 Tucson, Arizona lost a courageous, accomplished, passionate, loving, faithful, unique, wise, humorous, humble, giving, successful individual April 19, 2014. George Kulund died of complications shortly after having open heart surgery. He is predeceased by his parents, Nicholas and Rake' and his two brothers, Richard and John. He is survived by his brother, Dan Kulund; his sister-in-law, Sandy and his two nephews, Nicky and David George. George was born in Queens, New York. He served in the United States Army from December 5, 1967 – April 9, 1971 and fought courageously in the Vietnam War. He was awarded a National Defense Service Medal, Prcht Badge, Jump Wings, Vietnam Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Two Overseas Bars, Vietnam Campaign Medal W/60 DVC, Combat Infantryman's Badge. After the war he lived an eccentric lifestyle; one that led him off the beaten path. In short, George surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and he was transformed by the grace of God from a homeless drug addict to a polished and powerful preacher. He was an integral member of the Potters House Christian Fellowship and a valued employee of Northwest Exterminating for over 25 years. He was a scholar, talented musician, actor, director and friend but above all he was a faithful disciple to our Lord Jesus Christ and will be greatly missed by those who had the privilege of being in his company. Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of a friend. Memorial Services will be held at The Potters House, 2920 E. 22nd St., Saturday, May 10, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. Arrangements by ABBEY FUNERAL CHAPEL.

I've known George for 8 years. He has always been a very good example in his walk with Christ. He was as faithful as they come and my family and I will miss him very much we will never forget how he came to see all my children born in the hospital. And all that he has done for us, we all loved him dearly.

I got to know George through Northwest, he was a wonderful person. He was always extremely friendly, and I enjoyed just chatting with him when he came by. I'll definitely miss him.

Thanks for setting the bar high enough for me to get off my butt and low enough for me to reach. That's a legacy George that I'll keep with me as I punch in for work for God's kingdom. Thanks for reminding me why I accepted Christ can't wait to see you again.

I knew uncle George my whole life. He saw me grow up in church. To me and my other friends I grew up with he was like a uncle. He was a blessing to my life. He was always there I can't remember a time not seeing him other than conference or his trip to Somoa. He was great in drama had the privilege to be in drama with him. A testimony to my life. I always saw Jesus as the first thing in his life. I thank you George for all you done, you made a impact on my life. In Heaven now where he belongs. Earth is just a place passing through Heaven is home. I will see you there one day. You will be missed.

George was a patient in my dental practice. He was kind, prompt, cordial, and a pleasure to visit with. We talked a lot about faith and I'm certain his faith led him home. Go rest high, George.
