George M. King Sr

April 19, 1963 - October 1, 2020

George M. King Sr (57) passed away peacefully October 1, 2020 at Hospice after a lengthy illness. “Big George” was preceded in death by his loving mother Miriam Copeland and two loving fathers John Copeland and Joseph King Jr. He is survived by his son George King Jr, (Brooke), his grandson Daxton, his sisters Trisha Copeland Hohmann, (Billy) and Terri Howard, (Jack), his brother Joseph P King, (Traci), cousins, nieces and nephews. George was a gentle, loving man who was devoted to his family and friends. He grew up in Arlington, graduated Terry Parker High School in 1981 where he played football. He was a trained machinist but was also skilled in many other building trades. There wasn’t anything George couldn’t fix. He enjoyed working with his hands, was no stranger to a hardware store, and loved shopping at Northern Tool and Harbor Freight. George loved cooking and sports, especially football. He was an avid University of Georgia fan and loved cheering on his beloved Bulldogs. George’s life long friends Ray,Tony and Clint were with him through thick and thin and always took care of him. George will be missed dearly. We are comforted knowing that he is at peace and his spirit joins those close family members that preceded him.
