George Henry “Boy” Lovelace, Jr., was born January 8,
1950, in West Point, Georgia, to the late George Henry “Blue”
Lovelace, Sr., and Lillie Bell Thomas Lovelace. He earned the
nickname “Boy” because he was the firstborn son after four
girls. On Thursday, September 25, 2025, George answered
the call from the Lord and departed this life at Wellstar West
Georgia Medical Center, LaGrange, Georgia .

George received his high school diploma from Harrison High
School in 1968. After graduating, he was employed with West
Point Pepperell for several years. He later founded his own
concrete finishing business in the 1980’s and continued to
operate it until the early 2000 ’s.

After retiring from work, George dedicated his time to his
family and to his church. He was a dedicated steward at
Keeney Memorial United Methodist Church, where he had
been a member since being a youth.

George, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend,
passed away surrounded by love and family. His life was
defined by his deep devotion to those he cared about and
his ability to bring laughter and joy to any gathering. “Boy”
cherished every moment spent with his loved ones and had a
gift for making others feel welcomed and appreciated.

He was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Ersla
Lovelace; sisters, Shirley Lovelace Kingu and Constance
