Obituary For George Henry “ Boy” Lovelace, Jr.
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

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.

passed away surrounded by love and family. His life was
defined by his deep devotion to those he cared about and

gift for making others feel welcomed and appreciated.
