(Pat) James Patrick George took his final ride home on December 17th with his loving family surrounding him. Although he will be greatly missed, there is nothing his heart longed for more than to be reunited with his beautiful wife in heaven. He was born to Lester and Genevieve George along with 10 brothers and sisters. He spent his younger years running around with his siblings and friends causing a little bit of mischief like all the best boys do. He had an early love for horses and cowboy work and spent many years working at a local dairy where he learned all kinds of lessons to carry him through life. His true calling was found when he was blessed with becoming a father and having two great son’s BJ and Scott. There was never a short coming of stories when it came to the boys and all the fun memories he had with them. As they have grown into adults with families of their own his love and pride of what wonderful men they’ve become only grew. If there was one thing Pat was good at it was storytelling and there was never a shortage of good ones for him to fill your time with. If you’ve ever spent any time with him, he was bound to give you a story or two to remember. One of his favorite stories to tell was how he met the woman who stole his heart, Janiece. He couldn’t possibly miss their date, even after a bad injury at work that definitely required a trip to the hospital. In true Pat fashion he had some help wrapping up his wounds and pushing on to charm Janiece’s socks off at dinner and the rest is history from there. The love he had for her was one for the story books. The unshakable, unbreakable kind most people only dream of finding. After tying the knot that love only grew as they joined families. Not only was he lucky enough to have two wonderful sons of his own but was blessed with 3 additional stepsons when he met Janiece. He took her boys, Hunter, Nick and Troy as his own, teaching them all the important lessons in life and what a great and loving role model looks like. There was never a time when a cup of coffee and a good game of cribbage with his boys wasn’t his most favorite way to spend a day (unless he got skunked during the game.) Aside from being a wonderful father, he enjoyed being a Grandpa even more. He was blessed with a whole crew of grandchildren and spent a good portion of his retired years caring for his granddaughters Brynlee and Bailey. Their days were full of laughs, coffee dates, Walmart runs and stories for the record books.

They were nicknamed “The 3 Amigos” and it fit them well. After losing his beautiful wife, he had been looking forward to the day they would be reunited again. As much as he is missed in all our hearts, he got his Christmas wish to be back with his loving bride.

Pat is preceded in death by his parents, Lester and Genevieve, sisters Annie and Mary, brothers Sonny, Dale and Andy, along with is niece Heather and wife Janiece. He is survived by his siblings Ginger, Nellie, Tammie Jo, Leslie, Lynn, their spouses and children. Along with his sons BJ (Benjamin, Samantha, Garrett), Scott and his wife Tonya (Chantel, Hank), Hunter Wohlers (Brynlee, Bailey), Nicholas Wohlers and his wife Christina (Brendan, Owen, Collin, Faryn, Niall), and Troy Wohlers.
