George A. Stubbs Jr.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George A. Stubbs Jr. George, known to most as “Stubbs” and a chosen few as “Georgie” was a well-respected soldier, with a kind heart and a gentle spirit. He was a quiet person, but he left an undeniable impression of strength, kindness and decency with every single person he knew. Stubbs gave 34 years of his life to the U.S. Military as a National Guardsman, SFC. He served in combat missions Operation Desert Storm in Iraq and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan as well as Operation Noble Eagle. He never boasted about his military service, but his family was extremely proud of him and honored by his conduct as a soldier. His fellow guardsmen knew him to be a master mechanic, a dependable soldier and a no-nonsense boss. He was well-loved, appreciated and respected by all who served with him. As well as working as a mechanic, Stubbs’ love for cars carried on outside of work. He always had many projects going at once, including many boats and could fix anything. Anytime his family or friends had a problem fixing something or knowing how to do a project, the answer was, “Call Stubbs, he will know what to do”. Stubbs leaves behind the love of his life, his wife Noel of 30 years. They were married on September 19, 1994. It was love at first sight for him, she was his rock, and he was hers. Also devastated by his loss are his brother, Brandon and his wife Liz, his brother, Brent and his wife Cindy; his sister, Debbie and her husband Jeff; his nieces, Kiona and her husband Gerald, Tofa, Kylie and Chelsie and his nephews Chris, Noah, Kody, Brayden, Jordan, Drew, Cameron and Jared; numerous great nieces and nephews, 3 special friends, Robert Stewart, Randy Kinsey and James Miller, his adored dog, Simone; and countless other friends and family that loved him dearly. Stubbs will be remembered forever as someone who could be counted on, an animal lover, a super mechanic, a soldier, a husband, a brother, a friend. His family takes comfort knowing he is with his parents (George and Jody), his beloved dogs, Sydney and Sadie and his cat, Kiwi who unexpectedly stole his heart. Services for George A Stubbs will take place January 30, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. at the Fort Gibson National Cemetery with military honors being presented. The family requests memorials can be made in George’s honor to the Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758516, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8516 or online at https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/.
