About

Tragic Loss

The life of a Bluffton teen was cut tragically short. 17-year-old Josh George was pronounced dead on May 20, 2008 at Memorial Health in Savannah. He was injured over the weekend in a crash with an alleged drunk driver, as he was driving home from the prom. 

In their time of tragedy, the family chose to have Josh live on by helping others survive. He was kept on life support while a team of surgeons assembled to remove his organs for donation.

Friends held a prayer vigil in his honor.  While the teens have each other during this painful time, their hearts are heavy.  They looked to their faith for hope that they'll make it through this.

Memories

You're too good to be gone

Erin (Jun 30, 2008)

i guess i never realized exactly how much you meant to me, until you were gone. it's been over a month, and i still find myself thinking about you all the time. though i wasn't as close to you as others, i still miss you. in a weird way, it still feels like one day, you're going to come back and make everyone happy with that smile of yours. but, it's knowing that won't happen that hurts the most. i will never forget all those bus rides to and from our games. i always heard all the crazy things you'd be yelling, and they made me laugh every time! you touched so many lives, including mine, and i don't even think you knew it. you are a great person, and i can't believe this happened to you. but i know you're happy where you are now. i love you, i miss you, and i just want you to know that i will always remember you, Josh. always. i don't think its possible to forget someone like you.

rest in peace Josh George.
