GEORGE MATTHEW HAHNER, of Pensacola, a karaoke host and entertainer, and a beloved husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend, died March 29 at his home. He was 50 years old.
George was born October 15, 1972, in Kankakee, Illinois, and grew up in Panama City, Florida. He was the owner and operator of Krazy George Productions. George was an award-winning karaoke legend in Pensacola for over two decades who believed that "there's a little rock star in everybody." He was also a graduate of Pensacola State College, an honor roll student in the Department of Social Work at the University of West Florida, a member of Sunday's Child, and a parishioner of Christ Church.
George is survived by his husband, Chad Michael Eyer; his parents, Richard George Hahner and Diane Lee (Henry) Hahner; his sister and brother-in-law, Sarah Katherine Manning and Kenneth Douglas Manning Jr.; and his nephew, Kenneth Douglas "Trace" Manning III.

A celebration of George's life will be held April 18 at 7 p.m. at Goat Lips Chew and Brewhouse, 2811 Copter Rd, Pensacola. The family requests that remembrances be made in the form of contributions to the UWF Foundation at uwf.edu/give.
George never knew a stranger, and he sought to help others have fun, love each other, and be their best selves. He lived by his philosophy that "there aren't any rules. Just be you, do your thing, do what makes you happy, and don't worry about what anybody else thinks."
WATERS & HIBBERT FUNERAL HOME is in charge of arrangements.
