On the early morning of Wednesday, May 14, 2025, George went to be with the Lord. He was born on June 5, 1959, in Lubbock to the late Jesse and Eufemia Tellez. George lived a life rich with memories, full of joy and dedicated to service. He was a proud graduate of Lubbock High School where he laid the foundation for a life filled with discipline and commitment.

At the young age of twenty years old George proudly entered The United States Marines on July 31, 1979. An experience that shaped his character and instilled in him the values of dedication and hard work. He was honorably discharged from active duty on April 29, 1984.

Afterward on August 5, 1989, George went on to marry Brenda Olguin in Lubbock together, they built a loving union that lasted for 35 years. They raised their family with love, laughter, and countless memories.

George pursued a career as a plumber, a profession that not only spoke to his craftsmanship but also to his commitment to meeting the needs of those around him.

He was a man who cherished every moment spent with his family, finding joy in the simplest of activities. Whether it was bowling, fishing, or barbecuing on the grill, George's true happiness came from being surrounded by his loved ones.

He was a devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys, often sharing spirited discussions about the team's performances, and he found solace in listening to oldies music, which brought back fond memories of days gone by.

As we gather to celebrate George Tellez's life, we remember a man whose heart was as generous as it was kind. He leaves behind a lasting impression in the hearts of all who knew him, and his spirit will continue to shine brightly through the values he instilled and the love he shared with his family. George will be deeply missed, yet his memory will forever remain alive in our hearts.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Jesse and Eufemia Tellez; a sister Francis Tellez; also, four brothers Joseph Tellez, Javier "Seymour" Tellez, Dean Tellez, and Robert Tellez
