George Stanley Ferrell, a beloved jokester and cherished family man, was born on December 5, 1945, in Fort Worth, Texas. His journey through life came to a close on December 3, 2024, also in Fort Worth, just two days shy of his 79th birthday.
George dedicated many years to the Water Department, where his larger-than-life personality shone brightly. Known for his humor, he had a knack for telling jokes that left those around him laughing and lifting spirits. It was this joyous essence and infectious laughter that earned him the reputation as a “hilarious” friend and confidant.
Family was everything to George. He often expressed his love and devotion through simple yet meaningful gestures, making sure to always call his “pumpkin,” a term endearing enough to signal the depth of affection he carried for his daughter that he held dear. His outgoing nature allowed him to create lasting memories with his family, establishing strong bonds that will endure far beyond his time on earth.
Friends and family alike will forever remember George as a man who enriched their lives with joy and laughter. The warmth of his spirit and the legacy of his humor will continue to resonate in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A memorial service celebrating George's life will be held on December 12, 2024, at 11:00 AM at Golden Gate Funeral Home in Fort Worth, Texas. His memory will live on in the stories shared and the hearts touched by his vibrant existence.
