George Wallace, long-time resident of Cleburne, passed away peacefully on May 30, 2025, in Cleburne, Texas. Born on November 16, 1929, in Fort Worth, Texas, George was the youngest of 3. After graduating high school as valedictorian, he served honorably in the Navy during the Korean War. Following his military service, he graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a degree in electrical engineering. He worked for the FAA for 20 years as an electronics engineer, retiring at age 50 to work full-time on his ranch in Goatneck. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and taking care of his land. His work ethic was unmatched, never sitting down for too long.

George loved his family, always asking what his grandkids were up to and how they were doing. His face would light up when they would come to visit. George had an unwavering faith in God. Constantly studying and wanting to understand his Bible, especially prophecy, led him to become a Seventh-day Adventist Christian in 1987. He lived a life of firm values and unwavering faith in a savior that died for him.

George was proceeded in death by his wife of 45 years, Martha Lovine Jackson Wallace; parents, Hamilton Fry and Lillian McPhail Wallace; sisters, Margaret Sue Wallace and Virginia May.

He is survived by his son, Hamilton F. Wallace; daughter Nancy E. Sorke and her husband Ingo Sorke; granddaughter 2nd Lieutenant Victoria Lynn Paul and her husband Robert Warren Paul; grandsons Kenton Bryce Sorke and Kollin Bryant Sorke and his fiancé Codi Ratliff; great-grandsons Milo Warren Paul and August Mason Paul; multiple nieces and nephews and too many great nieces and nephews to count.

George will be remembered for his strong work ethic and his love for God, family, and country.
