Obituary
September 5, 1939 – November 15, 2024
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of George Fabian on November 15, 2024, at the age of 85.
George is survived by his devoted wife, Deanna, with whom he shared 63 years of marriage, daughters Christa Pius and Marisa Baldwin, son-in-law Joe Pius and grandchildren Andrew, Christopher, Michael, Thomas, and Madeline.
Known for his warmth, humor, and vibrant spirit, George was a passionate cyclist and proud member of the Huntington Bicycle Club. He found joy, peace, and connection through his bike rides and cherished friendships in the club. George was also an avid photographer, capturing the world and those he loved within it.
Above all, George's love for Deanna was a true testament to partnership. Together, they traveled to seven continents, experiencing life side by side. His love for her was a gift that will remain in the hearts of all who witnessed it.
As we mourn his passing, we take comfort in the lasting impact George had on all who knew him. His light, love, and humor will continue to guide us.
Rest in peace, George. Your light will never fade.

So sorry to learn of George's passing. He was the main motive force behind my return to cycling some forty years ago. We were introduced by a mutual friend with whom he and his friend Artie Weiss rode, and soon I joined for a foursome which traveled every weekend from Commack to Port Jefferson and back; then we both joined the Huntington Bicycle Club. George led many rides and was respected for his knowledge, experience and humorous personality. I particularly remember him helping to fix a flat and tossing the plastic screw-on tube valve cover with the exclamation, "You don't need that schmootzik." All things unnecessary were schmootziks, very funny word for such parts to be dismissed by a truly ecumenical Catholic guy among Jewish cyclists, lol. I enjoyed keeping in touch from Arizona and exchanging holiday cards, especially since his artistic wife Deanna created such beautiful ones every year. George worked as a financial documents printer but his life was his family and his cycling avocation. He was a great guy and I'm going to miss him.
