Bradley George Obituary
56, passed away on Thursday March 14, 2013, at home with his family in Scottsdale, Arizona, after a yearlong battle against sarcoma cancer. Brad was born Friday July 13, 1956 in Memphis, Tennessee to parents Charles E. George and Dorothy Jean George. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Paradise Valley, Arizona, where Brad attended school and graduated from Camelback High School in 1974. Since the age of 13, Brad has worked in the steel fabrication industry, working with his father and two brothers at George's Steel, and later, George and Sons Steel. In 1993, he moved on to start his own business under BG Steel and Tay-Max Steel. Brad enjoyed playing hockey for The Blades in the 80's with his brother Randy. He was also a skilled and avid golf player with his family and friends.
Brad was a kind soul who was loved by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife Beth Ann George, his daughters Christie and Taylor, his sons Max and Ben, his father Charles "Charlie" George, step-mother Gloria, brother Randy, numerous aunts and uncles, niece, nephews, cousins, and countless friends. Brad was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy Jean "Mama Jean" George (passed August 4, 1986), and older brother Charles "Chuck" George (passed March 31, 1998). A memorial service will be held at 4pm, Thursday March 21, 2013 at Oasis Community Church, 15014 N. 56th St, Scottsdale, AZ. If so desired, please make contributions to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers for service.

I just want to say that although I didn't personally know my cousin I love him. He is truly happy now along with the rest of my family that is in heaven. He is going to be missed by many and loved. Please remember God healed him by taking him home to in no pain and to be surrounded by more family whom he has not seen in years. My prayers go out to the remainder of my family who are heartbroken and hurting losing yet another member of the George family. One day we will be reunited with them all. Until then I will remain jealous of where they are but know that along with the rest of us who are still alive here that there is still things and people we all need to bless to fulfill our purpose before going to our eternal home in heaven. Love you Brad.
