An amazing and genuine man passed away peacefully after a courageous battle against an intense illness. He lived life to the fullest in each decade of his life’s journey and leaves behind an extensive family and vast circle of friends to adjust to life without this man as father, grandfather, husband, brother, and horse’n around cowboy.

I did not know George well. It was easy to see that George was a great Horseman and a compassionate person.
Adrianne, Please accept my condolences to you and your family.
I am sure he will be greatly missed by a lot of people.

I did not have the opportunity to get to know George very well. But I have had the privilege of getting to know one of his horses. “I is a Colleen” is a living testiment to George’s gift with horses, training and caring for them. I feel honored and humbled to continue on where he left off with Isa.
Although I only knew George for a short while, he was a great horseman and I enjoyed our weekly rides. He had lots of stories to tell and was my introduction to Sooke. My heartfelt condolences to Adrianne and family. He was a true gentleman and the only cowboy I’ve ever meet. Happy trails George

For showing him was worthy of the love of a great woman.For loving him when it was easy, and then loving him even more when it wasn’t easy.You were his one great love. Always know that. May all the love and memories carry your heart until you’re together again❤️
All the Love my Heart Can Send Yours,

George did So much for us when we moved here with our horses. Then he took over Patrick and Scout for us and gave them a great home.
I would not have trusted anyone else with Patrick.
Thank you Adrianne for looking after him… George that is, so that he could look after Patrick for so long.
It is an honour to have known George. He was one of a kind and a good man. It is with great sadness that he has left us, but I know he will be riding free now without pain and for that I take comfort.
I am sorry Ade for your pain. You were blessed to have him in your life, and I know he loved you so.
I love you darling and want you lean on me. I am always there for you girl.
