Obituary

George Henry York, 77 of Berkley, California, died at the Warrensburg Veteran's Home on Friday, August 2, 2019, surrounded by family.  His love for Jesus Christ, family and friends, military family, Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, playing cards, and fishing and hunting was apparent to all who knew him.

George seemed destined to teach people about repentance – forgiveness as well as praise.  He often bought and gave out copies of Power of Praise and Prison to Praise by Norman Carothers to his friends, family members and the staff at the VA Home.  George's legacy will live within us all.

George was preceded by death by his mother and father, Charles and Ruby York, two brothers Charles Henry York and Delmer York, a son Michael Henry York, Pamela Ann Engel, stepdaughter, and wife Valerie Ruth Walden York.  Married September 27, 1968.  And he leaves his legacy to daughters Marcia York (Larry) Hunter and step-children Steve (Pam) Engel and Cindy (Eric) Engel Pearson. Sister Ruby York Gillespie.  Grandchildren Jeremy Engel, Angela Pearson Crowley, Matthew Pearson, Cody Engel, Rita Bailey, Stephanie Bailey – Drulias, and Christian Phelps.  And wonderful great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, cousins, caretakers, and friends.

George's family will deeply miss his spirit and his love of life
