George Conrad Arness Sr. Obituary (1950 - 2023)

GEORGE CONRAD ARNESS SR. APRIL 22, 1950 - MARCH 18, 2023 George Conrad Arness Sr. was born in Seattle, Washington on April 22, 1950. He was taken from us on Saturday, March 18, 2023 at the age of 72 years in Texas City, Texas. George was a longtime resident of Galveston, Texas where he met his wife of 46 years in 1976. He knew instantly she was the one, they married in 1977. Together, they found their passion and love for the Lord and joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1977 and have been members of the church since. He would spend all of his free time with his wife, children, and grandchildren. George enjoyed all the little things in life like taking his wife to dinner at Golden Corral, playing with his grandkids, calling and talking to his children, reading the Bible, watching the news or any good western or action movie. George was one of the sweetest, most kind, giving men you would have ever been blessed to have met. He would give you the shirt off his back or the shoes off his feet. If you had ever seen him, he was most likely wearing a baseball cap, t-shirt, a smile, and a few kind words. George had a special something about him that would draw people into him almost as if he was magnetic. He helped so many people throughout his life, and a lot of them would end up turning into family for us. Growing up we didn't have much, when friends would come over they never wanted to leave because of all the love we had going around in that house. He taught all of us how to be a man and how a man should treat their wife. So many great lessons and memories. He was literally one in a million. He had that smile and that laugh that was contagious. Always had a way to cheer you up and never steered you the wrong way. George is preceded in death by his mother Lois Irene Wilson, father George Calvin Arness, and his granddaughter Aida Arness. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary Arness of Texas City; his 6 children, son Arthur Arness, daughter Lois Arness, daughter Lori Arness and Jeremy Tinney, daughter Susan Arness and husband Matthew Pineda, son George Arness Jr. and wife Nikki Gomez, daughter Patricia Arness and Daniel Romero; his 23 grandchildren, Damian Auzston, Sage Weaver, Eden Weaver, Frank Rodriguez, Charolette Tinney, Thomas Tinney, Jeremy Tinney, Brian Pineda, Kiera Pineda, Jasmine Pineda, Josiah Pineda, Mya Pineda, Ashtyn Delagarza, Nora Arness, George Arness, Cole Kirbow, Katelynn Romero, Hailey Romero, Daniel Romero, Jeremiah Gonzales, Nyomi Cantu, Remus Rent, and Brandon Hickman; and many more great family, friends and extended family.
