George Reese

Deacon George Reese, 72, of Garfield passed away on Friday, September 12, 2025, at his home. He was born in Swainsboro, Georgia on April 27, 1953, to the late Charlie Reese, Sr and Luartist Reese.

Deacon George was single. He was raised in Garfield, Georgia and attended Emanuel County Institute. He served in the Army and was employed by Georgia Power and retired. He became an entrepreneur and started Reese Pine Straw and Landscaping since 1987. He has left a family business legacy that is still in business. George was member of Mission Outreach Baptist Church in Statesboro under Pastor Virgil Badie where he served as Deacon. His journey on this earth was one marked by love, compassion, and unwavering faith in God.
