George Kenneth Pearson, Jr. passed away on December 13, 2018. He was born on March 18, 1945 in Dangerfield, TX to George “KP” Kenneth, Sr. and Wilma Pearson. George graduated from Dangerfield High School in 1963 and attended his 50thclass reunion in 2013. He served in the Army in Vietnam from 1967-1970. He married Harriet Bailey in 1970. He was an employee of Stroh Brewery for 17 years until it closed, he was primarily a lifelong welder. He married Renetta Lee in 1986. Everyone has a “car story” with George and he will always be remembered as a “genuinely nice and helpful guy.” George loved piddling around and collecting things. He attracted all animals, but especially loved his dogs. He belonged to a deer lease for many years with several close friends and traveled to Colorado just a few years ago for what would be his last Elk hunt.
