George Lackner Obituary

George William Lackner, a cherished member of the community and a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 10, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on March 1, 1947, George lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a commitment to uplifting those around him.

Professionally, George dedicated his career to advertisement and sales, where his easy-going nature and knack for humor endeared him to both colleagues and clients alike. He genuinely loved people and would help anyone in need, leaving a memorable mark on those fortunate enough to cross his path.

Outside of work, George found joy in hobbies such as golf and volunteering at Sugar Ridge. His contributions to the community were emblematic of his generous spirit, reflecting his desire to make a positive impact wherever possible. Recently baptized with a renewed commitment to God, faith and church, he became a new member of the Anchor church community in Erlanger, KY, where his faith and sense of community flourished.

George's personality shone brightest through his jovial demeanor, as he often entertained friends and family with his jokes and light-hearted banter. He embraced life wholeheartedly, and his warm heart resonated with those he encountered.

He is survived by his loving wife, Deborah, his six children, and fourteen grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy and fulfillment to his life. George’s legacy will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of his family members and friends, who remember him for his humor, kindness, and unwavering support.

Visitation will be held on April 18, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 1:00 PM, at Floral Hills Funeral Home - Chapel A, located at 5336 Old Taylor Mill Road, Taylor Mill, KY 41015. George will be laid to rest during a burial service at Floral Hills Memorial Gardens at 2:00 PM the same day.

As we bid farewell to George William Lackner, we celebrate a life filled with laughter, love, and the indelible mark he has left in our hearts.
