It is with a heavy heart I have to share the news of the death of our son, dad, brother and dear friend, George McLaughlin. George fought a tough fight against COVID-19 and Follicular Non-Hodgkin lymphoma but lost the battle at 5:00pm on September 3rd.

George is survived by his eldest son, Gilles (32) and his granddaughter Neire (5), who reside in Switzerland. George and his wife, Rennette, have 4 children: Savannah (24), Maverick (22), Gabby (17), and Kingston (15).

Rennette passed away December 2010, so George had played the dual role as mother and father to his kids over the last decade. He deeply loved his wife and children and dedicated his life to raising them in her absence.

Anyone who knew George loved George. He was truly one of a kind with a larger-than-life personality that everyone gravitated to. His family is heartbroken and in shock with George’s sudden passing yesterday. They are still working to come to grips with the void his loss has created.

So many of you have reached out to see what the family needs or if there is anything they can do to help. We have started a GoFundMe account to help the children during this difficult time. Thank you for anything you might find in your heart to donate. Please share this story with anyone you know would like to help.
