David Richard George

David Richard George, 78, of Mesa, AZ passed away on January 7, 2025 after several years of adapting to Alzheimer's Disease. He was born on May 2, 1946, in Pittsburgh, PA to Harry and Virginia George.

David was known for his deep love and unwavering commitment to his family and friends, his remarkable work ethic, and quick wit-often quoting favorite actors like Bill Murray and Leslie Nielsen. He was a graduate of Youngstown State University and a member of Theta Xi fraternity. 

In 1995, after moving to Arizona, Dave worked in the heavy machinery industry before founding his pool service business. He proudly worked alongside his son, Dustin, for 14 years. He was a long time member  of IPSSA, serving as treasurer and president. 

Dave was an avid reader and enjoyed Sudoku puzzles and card games with friends and family. He enjoyed golf, diving and football, especially his time with Pennsylvania's Big 33. 

David is survived by his beloved wife, Rebecca; his children, Trevor (Julie), Brian (Kacey) and Dustin; his grandchildren: Remi, Brinley, Corbin, Arabelle, Arlo, Andrew, Jason, Evan, Bronson and Milena; his brother Harry Jr., and his nephews and niece.

A memorial service will be held on January 16, 2025 at Meldrum Mortuary from 2pm-4pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Hospice of the Valley Arizona in David's name.

Welcome Home, David. Your legacy lives on in our hearts. 

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
