George was a 10th grade student at Calhoun Falls Charter School.  He had a bright future ahead of him and will be remembered for his outgoing personality and zest for life.  He worked at The Corner Store in Calhoun Falls where he developed lasting friendships with colleagues and customers alike.

In his spare time, George enjoyed driving his friends around and spreading joy wherever he went. Music was a significant part of his life as it brought him happiness and comfort. Additionally, he had a passion for sports such as football, baseball, basketball, and swimming. George enjoyed being active and could often be found jumping off piers or engaging in outdoor activities like fishing, riding four-wheelers and motorcycles and playing corn hole with his friends.  Family was essential to George, and he cherished every moment spent with them.
