IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jan 16, 1953 — Sep 3, 2026
George Athanas, a devoted husband, father, son, uncle, and friend, passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, hard work, and unwavering loyalty.
George dedicated more than 40 years of his life to working as an airplane technician. His career reflected the qualities that defined him throughout his life: dedication, skill, perseverance, and pride in doing things the right way.
But above all else, George was devoted to his family and friends. He was a deeply loyal person who could always be counted on by the people he loved. His presence brought strength and reassurance to those around him, and his commitment to his family was unwavering. He treasured the people closest to him and took great pride in the bonds he shared with them.
A devout Greek Orthodox Christian, George’s faith was an important part of his life. His faith and values guided him throughout his journey and remained a source of strength and meaning.
George also had a love for classic rock and enjoyed the music that accompanied so many moments of his life. His strong spirit, loyalty, sense of devotion, and love for those around him will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
George is survived by his beloved wife, Helen; his son, Gregory; his mother, Maria; his niece, Angela; his nephews, Lucas and Stelios; and his daughter-in-law, Kamila. He will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends, whose lives were made richer by having known him.
May his memory be eternal.
