George Guckian

George Edward Guckian, 83, of Corpus Christi, Texas, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on April 4th, 2010 at 10:58 P.M. George was born to W. P. Guckian and Alta Mercer Guckian on November 2, 1926 in the town of Gonzales, Texas. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who loved spending time working at the “Ranch”, which he took care of for almost twenty years. George was a wonderful husband, father, PaPa and friend. Anyone who knew him for long, knew how much he loved his wife, his “girls”, his grandchildren and his son-in-law, Chris. It was George’s desire that he be allowed to die at home. The family wishes to express their gratitude to Diana Rodriguez, Ami Jo Maldonado and Kathy Morin, who took such good care of him during this time and to Brother Robert Simmons and Annaville Baptist Church family for their loving care. He was preceded in death by his parents, his infant son, Vernon Ray, one brother, two sisters, two nephews, four brothers-in-law and his father-in-law. George is survived by his wife of almost fifty five years, Frances Guckian; his two daughters, George Ann Reynolds and husband Chris and Cheryl Lea Guckian; his three grandchildren, Hannah Reynolds, Quintin Guckian and Micah Reynolds; one sister, Marie McElveen. Visitation will be from 10 A.M. until 7 P.M. with the family present from 5 P.M. until 7 P.M. Wednesday, April 7, 2010 at Sawyer-George Funeral Home. Funeral services will be conducted at 2 P.M. Thursday, April 8, 2010 at Annaville Baptist Church with Pastor Robert Simmons officiating. Burial will follow at Memory Gardens.
