George W. Ganaway Sr., 83, a native of Bayou Boutte and a resident of Bayou Vista, went home to be with his Lord Jesus on Tuesday, July 8, 2014, at his residence.
George’s love for Jesus caused him to walk out his faith on a daily basis and help those in need. He had a heart of service; from serving his country during the Korean Conflict to serving the Full Gospel Fellowship as an ordained minister.
His love for his family made him a dedicated and loving husband, father and grandfather. George will be remembered and never forgotten by all who knew him. Well done thy good and faithful servant … enter into the joy of thy Master.
