George Robert Peters Jr. June 7, 1952-December 15, 2015

My brother, my friend. As a little guy, he was called boy. As he grew and the siblings increased he was known a GeorgeR....  Mom said George was a wonderful little boy, well behaved and quiet. As a teenager he was hard on  

his siblings. He was the tough country kid and grew into the high school football hero! High school football was also the cause on many of his health issues. Although hereditary he developed arthritis due to injuries during those football years. I asked him not to very many years ago if he knew how much he would suffer would he have still played football. Without hesitation he said YES! He told me that was the time of his life. He learned so much about commarotary, puntcuation, team spirit and being a team player. It wasn't until he was older that he began his relationships with his siblings. George married Linda K. French in May 1977, he found in her a true companion, friend and mate. On October 9, 1986 he became a dad. Cindi K. had a wonderful dad for her first 29 years. George was a heavy smoker and was told he had COPD, numerous health issues were very hard on him throughout his 50's but in his 60's he was not in very good health at all. After suffering a heart attack and complications he had 9 bypass surgery. He had complained of stomach pains for several days after he had his surgery only to discover he was bleeding internally with an ulcer. While in yet another surgery trying to stop the bleeding, his organs could not with stand the procedure and he passed away. George was saved in a Methodist Church while in high school. In the last several years he talked to me and Mike numerous times with questions about the bible, church and heaven. The last 10 years or so George became my friend. We talked a lot about a lot of things and I already miss those times so much. He was a Belton boy, he had no desire to ever move or leave his front porch. He loved this community, his friends, kids, food, his family and he touched the hearts of everyone he ever met.             I am better because he was in my life.
