William "Bill" George

Farragut, TN

William J. (Bill) George, age 59. Born to Bernice and Alfred in Newton, NC he passed away suddenly in Whiteville, NC on April 25, 2018. Bill and his parents lived many years in the Farragut community; he was preceded in death by his parents, and until his mother's tragic automobile death in 2004 he was loved well. He was then unable to care for himself because of his schizophrenia disorder; having this most debilitating and unforgiving of mental health disorders that is often dealt with by arrests Bill was often taken advantage of while on his own. Once Bill was truly unable to stay on his medication he was often seen walking on Kingston Pike or frequenting local businesses; therefore, many considered him "homeless" and a "nuisance." Bill finally sold the Farragut home, and the funds quickly dwindled often through abuse of others. Bill was often watched over after that time by high school friends along with church members of Faith Lutheran Church in Farragut. Bill's friends are asked to gather next Sunday, June, 10, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. at Berry Highland Memorial Cemetery, 5315 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, Tennessee, 37919. Reverend Bob Stelter is honored to officiate as Bill's ashes will be buried with dignity next to his loving parents.
