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.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Sooke Harbour House Hotel, 1528 Whiffen Spit Road, Sooke, on Saturday, January 26, 2019 at 1:00pm.
Condolences may be offered below.

You know I suppose I knew George good as almost anyone , He was someone not to be taken lightly , I remember many rides and buggy trips .
Sure he did things his own way, oh he had a good woman or two , but that was his way , oh he liked his drinks and good company .
He was something special no doubt of that he will never rest , Goodbye George , my old friend .
One of the good guys. Met George at the legion. He rode his horse up and was enjoying a caesar. He was holding court and telling stories like the raconteur he was.
He is missed.
Adrianne – I’m so sorry to hear about George’s passing. I loved the stories you told and felt the love in your voice when you spoke of him. Thinking of you and sending big hugs xoxo
Thinking about you Adrianne,
Love from Terry & Debbie.
I am so sorry to hear that George has passed away. When I heard the news, I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. You are a very special person Adrianne and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work at BCBC and WSI with you and hear all the amazing and funny stories you had about George. I knew from the stories that you both had a special spot in each other’s heart.
You will find the strength to get through this, just one day at a time. Remember all the good times you had together as they are yours to keep forever.
Adrienne, the first thing I thought when I learned of George’s passing was – he lived a damn full life. He was wise and knowing but also mischievous and ornery and kind and spiritual. One of a kind. He was the first man who believed in me and I’m grateful for my time with him. Sending you lots of love and peaceful healing energy Adrienne
George taught me so many things that nobody else could. Amongst them that fences were for jumping and to LIVE life to the fullest. Ride hard and free Brother. You are greatly missed.
From the Horse Whisperer Sound Track
Part of Me and the Eagle By Steve Earle
I’ve traveled around I’ve seen city lights
But nothin’ that shined like a big sky at night
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
Lonesome don’t seem like much once you’re this high
When it’s all said and done I usually find
Me and the eagle are of the same mind
In my dreams there’s a horse,
He stands eighteen hands high
He’s as white as the snow and there’s fire in his eyes
And he’ll bare only me though others have tried
And together we’ll travel up across the divide
George was his own man, rest well George, in light and love.
