George R. Tapia was born December 22, 1960 to Antonio and Mercedes Reyes Tapia. He left this world on Saturday, October 22, 2011 and the world will never be the same.

He worked at Smith''s Warehouse for over 30 years where he was loved and known by many as one of the nicest men you met, if you needed a gun to go hunting he would give you one, if you needed a boat to go fishing he would let you borrow his, if you needed money he would give you money even if it was his last dollar. He had no problem helping anyone out even if he just met you.

George loved fishing, hunting, cooking of any kind whether it is Dutch oven, smoking a brisket or just baking ribs in the oven. He loved spending time with his family and friends.
