Asleep in Jesus Thursday, July 22, 2021.
George grew up in St. Louis and lived here all his life. He went to Frable grade school and Roosevelt High School, where he participated in football and track (state champ in low hurdles). The biggest win was he met the love of his life, Jean née Zagel. They dated for 3 years and married September 9, 1950.
After high school, George attended Logan School of Chiropractic. He served, ministered and helped many with his gentle spirit, loving heart and sweet, caring smile.
To their marriage they added 4 children; Judy (Glenn) Gerber, Robyn Parker, Claudia Parker and Jim (Meri) Parker. Their grandchildren number 11: Robyn (Ben) Stroschein, Libby Gerber, Emily (Ben) Wohlschlaeger, Joshua (Jackie) Garlich, Laura Garlich, Jamie Kuthe Stephanie (Kirk) Youngwith, Tom Eggers, Peter (Courtney) Eggers, Grant (Madison) Parker and Allie Parker. George and Jean also have 12 great grandchildren .
George and Jean were happily married for 70 years! They were best friends and confidantes till his end on earth and into eternity. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and GGP. George served God in many capacities. He is now Face to face with his Savior.

George was one of the kindest people I’ve ever know. He always asked after MY health because that was just who he was. I have no doubt heaven has another angel. God bless George and Jean and all of the family.
He will be very much missed here at Southview.

May your memories of George bring you comfort at this time and in the days ahead.
I’ll forever remember his sweet and unselfish spirit and the way he showed concern for how my father was doing.

Jean, Jim, Claudia, and Robyn,
I am so thankful for the way that George poured himself into the lives of others. He and Bob Carr team taught my 7th and 8th grade Sunday School class. At their encouragement to use God’s gifts to teach others I taught Kindergarten Sunday School and 7th and 8th grade VBS! I am thankful for his encouragement to me to live a life of service to others, and for his regular encouraging visits to my dad when he was home bound. May God comfort all of you, strengthening you in the certainty that Christ has redeemed you and made you his own.

Claudia, sorry to here about your dad. He was a caring Christian man. He treated my wife and I. He put my leg back together when I was in high school. – Steven Benko (your Sunday School teacher when you were little)
