Virginia Beach, VA - Ronald “Bruce” George Sr., aged 68, passed away peacefully on July 13, 2026, in Virginia Beach, VA. Born on September 24, 1957, in Whitestone, VA, he was the beloved son of Kenneth George and the late Margaret "Peggy" (Turner) George, and the beloved step son of Katherine George.

Bruce was a dedicated worker, retiring after many years in the HVAC industry. However, his true passion was being on the water. Following his retirement, he embraced his love for fishing, spending countless days casting lines and cleaning not only his catch, but the catch of others, with unmatched skill and patience. To Bruce, fishing was not just a pastime—it was his life.

Bruce possessed a steadfast work ethic and an enduring love for his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Wanda (Shipp) George, who stood by his side through thick and thin. Together, they created a loving family that includes his children: Ronald "Bruce" George Jr., Ryan George, and Alyssa Brown, along with her husband Joe. He was also the cherished grandfather of Ryan Jr. and Ella, who brought immense joy to his later years.

Bruce's passing leaves a void in the hearts of his family and friends, but his spirit will forever be remembered through shared memories and the legacy of love he leaves behind.

A celebration of Bruce's life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember his remarkable journey.
