George Burrell Obituary
Born in Houston, Texas on August 10, 1955, he was the oldest son of the late William and Margaret "Peggy" Burrell. He and wife of 22 years, Peg McNeil Hill Burrell, married April 24, 1999.
He is survived by wife, Peg; daughters, Amanda Hill and Erin Hill (Andrew Van Sickle); sisters, Carol Lemmon (Mike Lemmon), and Jane King; niece Carolyn King; and nephew Brendan Lemmon (Celia Lemmon). He was preceded in death by his younger brother, Tommy Burrell.
George influenced many people throughout his life, through his community outreach, church involvement, and sponsorship. He contributed to research on Multiple Myeloma, participating in clinical trials and new treatments.
A memorial service and celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, October 2nd at 2PM at Trinity Episcopal Church in The Woodlands (across the street from McCullough Jr. High). Casual attire is preferred, as George hated neckties.
In lieu of flowers, George requested donations be made to help the homeless thru Lord of the Streets (LOL) Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas: https//www.lotshouston.org

George was a good friend, quiet and unassuming, but a champion for those in need. He was brave through his long ordeal and battle with cancer. His laugh and beautiful smile will be precious memories for me. He will be missed by all, and the world is a darker place without his shining light. Love, prayers and sincere condolences to Peg, Amanda and Erin.
