George Briggs Jr. Obituary
George Andrew Briggs, Jr., 73, of Bloomfield, New Mexico passed away on June 19, 2025, in Farmington, New Mexico. He was born on August 4, 1951, in St. Louis, MO to George Briggs, Sr. and Edna Briggs.
George was a 1969 graduate of McCluer High School in Florissant, MO and a 1973 graduate of Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. George was an athlete and enjoyed many sports as well as coaching various youth sports. The highlight of his professional career was becoming executive director of a homeless shelter and soup kitchen in an Alaskan town. He very much wanted to help those less fortunate and was an excellent fundraiser in that area.
George is preceded in death by his parents, George Sr. and Edna Briggs, and his brother Thomas Briggs. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, June Briggs, and stepdaughter, Elizabeth Bulloch, her husband Ian Bulloch, and their two children.
The family wishes to thank the medical staff and other staff at San Juan Regional Medical Center for their efforts for George. No services are being held at George’s request. Arrangements were made by Farmington Funeral Home.
