George Christie

In Loving Memory of George Walton Christie Jr.

Sunrise: Columbus, Ohio

Sunset: April 30, 2025

George Walton Christie Jr., affectionately known as "Skeeter" to his Ohio family, was born in Columbus, Ohio, to the late George Walton Christie and Carolyn Elvira Franklin-Christie. He was educated in Columbus City Schools and proudly served his country as a decorated veteran of the United States Army.

After his military service, George relocated to California, where he worked in accounts payable within the healthcare industry. A true entrepreneur at heart, he later founded his own billing services company. George had a deep passion for mentoring and spent many years coaching girls' basketball and guiding youth in his community.

George was a man who loved music, good food, and gathering with family and friends. Cookouts were a favorite pastime, and he especially enjoyed fried fish and sushi. In his later years, he returned to Ohio and started a successful lawn care and landscaping business, continuing his legacy of hard work and determination.

On April 30, 2025, George passed peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. He is preceded in death by his parents, George and Carolyn Christie, and his sister Mary Christie.

He leaves to cherish his memory: his sister, Judy Christie; niece, Carolyn Christie; nephews, Isaiah Graves and Justin Christie; a host of cousins, extended family, and devoted friends; and two special dear friends, LaKanda Horn and Mychael Powell.

George's legacy of service, kindness, and love will live on in the many lives he touched.
