George was born September 9, 1968, in Orangeburg, South Carolina, to George and Ruby Peoples and died on April 10, 2023, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with his family by his side.

He spent most of his youth in Atlanta, GA. George graduated from high school in 1986 and on October 31, 1986, he joined the Air Force, serving a total of 21 years, 7 months, 5 days, retiring in 2008. During his service, he held numerous jobs, including Air Force Recruiter, Traffic Management Augmentee, Travel Accounting Branch Chief, Financial Analysis NCOIC and Financial Management Superintendent. George was stationed at Pope Air Force Base, Torrejon Air Base in Spain, Charleston Air Force Base, DFAS Dayton Ohio Air Force Recruiting Service, Lakenheath Air Force Base, Royal Air Force Base, Patient Wilford Hall Hospital, and finally Vance Air Force Base.

George completed his Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and Ethics from Mid-America Christian University. George's greatest blessings were his children, Taylor, Morgan, Josiah and Emma. Determined to teach them all things financial and how to always take care of themselves, he was the fun parent. He loved to take them to sporting events, amusement parks, the beach, and made sure there was always a party celebrating major milestones.

George had a passion for providing to those less fortunate. He served on the Salvation Army Board and dedicated countless hours volunteering, with the Angel Program being his favorite. In his free time he enjoyed the lake with friends and family, cars new and old, and, most of all, the many travel adventures with Holly.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Ruby.

George is survived by his wife, Holly; children, Taylor, Morgan, Josiah and Emma; father, George Peoples Sr; brothers, Kenneth and Walter Peoples; sister, LaKesha Peoples-Wheeler; in-laws, Mike and Debbie Read.
