George Bready Obituary

George Bready, 79, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2025, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Born on August 17, 1945, George lived a quiet and humble life, shaped by simplicity, independence, and the steady comfort of routine.
Though he had no known immediate family, George found fulfillment in the little things-a warm cup of coffee, the rhythm of a daily walk, a good book, or time spent tending to plants. He enjoyed peaceful solitude and had a thoughtful presence that others quietly admired. He was the kind of man who noticed small details, remembered names, and found joy in familiar patterns.
Professionally, George was known for being dependable and meticulous. Though he never sought recognition, his work reflected the same care and discipline he brought to his daily life. Those who interacted with him-whether briefly or often-recall his respectful demeanor, steady habits, and sincere nature.
George lived privately, but not without impact. He reminded us that a meaningful life doesn't have to be loud or crowded; it can be gentle, consistent, and true to one's own path.
Final arrangements are being handled by Altmeyer Funeral Home – Southside Chapel in Virginia Beach. At this time, there will be no public services.
As part of the legal process, this notice also serves to respectfully invite any known family members of George Bready to come forward by contacting the funeral home directly.
For those who wish to honor his memory, a fund has been established to assist with final expenses at www.tmcfunding.com, under the name "George Bready's Farewell Fund." Contributions are welcomed but never expected.
Flowers may be sent to Altmeyer Funeral Home. In addition, friends and community members may choose to plant a tree in George's memory-an enduring tribute to a life quietly and thoughtfully lived.
