George Hammond Obituary

George Albert Hammond, loving brother and uncle, passed away unexpectedly on August 26, 2020. A lifelong Miamian, George was born in Hialeah in 1956. George was a door installer by trade, and a musician at heart. He played in country rock bands from his teenage years into his 60's, often with his brothers. It was a treat to hear him play guitar and sing Marshall Tucker Band tunes. He was a fan of classic cinema and enjoyed cooking. George had a magnetic personality. He was friendly, funny, and generous of heart. He was beloved by his family, friends, and colleagues. George is survived by his sister, Gail Fried, and his brothers Byron Hammond III and William Hammond. His family will plan a memorial service when it becomes safe to gather together. Donations can be made in George's name to Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital.

George was a first class gentleman and an HONOR to know. He was such a KIND SOLE never had ill feelings or emotions towards no one

He had no enemy's only kindness and generosity for Man Kind . He played Lead guitar and should have made it to the top. He had a passion for many years with his Fender Stratocaster and played it like no other. You see I was part of the family for 20 years and new him well. My dearest George go in peace you will be greatly missed by all that HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING YOU. YOU WERE A GOOD MAN. My Heart and deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family.
