George was born on November 18, 1947 to L.L. Bo Cain and Amy McComic Cain in Pleasant Hill, Louisiana and passed away on Friday, March 14, 2025 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

George's life was a testament to his faith, sharing his love of life with all he encountered. He will be remembered for the warmth of his smile and the kindness of his words, offering prayers and encouragement to everyone he met. His greatest joy came from tending to his farm and caring for his beloved cows—he was a true cattleman until the end of his days. On a perfect day for George, he would rise at sunrise, have a quick cup of coffee and a bite to eat before heading off to the cow pasture. His days were filled with purpose: feeding and doctoring cows, mending fences, loading and unloading cattle, baling and cutting hay, and repairing washed-out bridges. He kept tractors running despite their tendency to break. Even during periods of illness, his dedication to his land never wavered as he worked tirelessly in the pasture with true grit. Yet, he kept holy the Sabbath day, setting aside his tools as no work was done on Sunday.

George treasured simple pleasures: enjoying country meals and visits with family and friends. Beyond his cattle, George also ran an emu farm where he delighted in entertaining school children on their field trips, sharing his knowledge and love for animals with younger generations. People will remember Mr. George as a pillar of faith in the community, but lest we forget, he did have a humorous side. He could take a joke, but better yet, he was always willing to tell a funny story to get a smile on someone's face or bring laughter into a room. His faith was his guiding light, inspiring him to share his joy with those around him. His life was defined by hard work, kindness, and appreciation for the blessings of family. Though he has left us, the lessons of his dedicated life and the warmth of his spirit remain with all who knew him.
