David Richard George, 78, of Mesa, AZ passed away on January 7, 2025 after several years of adapting to Alzheimer's Disease. He was born on May 2, 1946, in Pittsburgh, PA to Harry and Virginia George.
David was known for his deep love and unwavering commitment to his family and friends, his remarkable work ethic, and quick wit-often quoting favorite actors like Bill Murray and Leslie Nielsen. He was a graduate of Youngstown State University and a member of Theta Xi fraternity.
In 1995, after moving to Arizona, Dave worked in the heavy machinery industry before founding his pool service business. He proudly worked alongside his son, Dustin, for 14 years. He was a long time member of IPSSA, serving as treasurer and president.
Dave was an avid reader and enjoyed Sudoku puzzles and card games with friends and family. He enjoyed golf, diving and football, especially his time with Pennsylvania's Big 33.
David is survived by his beloved wife, Rebecca; his children, Trevor (Julie), Brian (Kacey) and Dustin; his grandchildren: Remi, Brinley, Corbin, Arabelle, Arlo, Andrew, Jason, Evan, Bronson and Milena; his brother Harry Jr., and his nephews and niece.
A memorial service will be held on January 16, 2025 at Meldrum Mortuary from 2pm-4pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Hospice of the Valley Arizona in David's name.
Welcome Home, David. Your legacy lives on in our hearts.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
2 Tim 4:7-8

Rebecca, Trevor, Brian and Dustin:
I´ll never forget coaching youth football and baseball with Dave George. He always made me laugh and had the most laid back perspective of anyone I´ve ever met!! Our deepest sympathies and I´m sure he certainly leaves a lot of fond memories.

I used to visit our Grandmother George almost every summer when I was very young. I remember one summer I was there and Grandma´s white dog was stolen off her porch. She was heart broken. Dave came over, I assume he was 16 or 17, and let me drive around with him looking for her dog. We didn´t find the dog, but it was so kind of him to take the time with us and it meant so much to her

Cousin Dave was larger than life. My funniest memory of him was riding the wooden toboggan down the water slide at Hamilton Park. He did it standing up. I was sure my dad was going to have a heart attack! My prayers and condolences to his family and friends.
