GEORGE PACE V, BELOVED SON, BROTHER, UNCLE, AND FRIEND, PASSED AWAY, LEAVING BEHIND A
LEGACY OF LOVE, SERVICE, AND KINDNESS. BORN IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, GEORGE WAS A TWIN TO
GREGORY JEROME PACE AND THE CHERISHED SON OF ELEANOR F JOHNSON PACE AND GEORGE ROBERT PACE IV. A PROUD GRADUATE OF JACK YATES HIGH SCHOOL, CLASS OF 2002, GEORGE WAS AN ACTIVE
STUDENT WHO PLAYED FOOTBALL AND WAS A MEMBER OF THE GENTS ORGANIZATION. HE
CONTINUED HIS EDUCATION AT DILLARD UNIVERSITY IN NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, WHERE HE FURTHER CULTIVATED HIS PASSION FOR SERVICE AND COMMUNITY. GEORGE WAS A MAN DEDICATED TO HELPING OTHERS. HIS COMPASSION LED HIM TO ESTABLISH PACE'S NEW BEGINNINGS, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SHELTER AND
FOOD FOR THOSE IN NEED. HIS HEART FOR SERVICE ALSO GUIDED HIM TO A CAREER IN THE MEDICAL
FIELD, WHERE HE WORKED AT THE MICHAEL E. DEBAKEY VA MEDICAL CENTER. GEORGE FOUND
IMMENSE FULFILLMENT IN CARING FOR HIS PATIENTS, WHO, IN RETURN, HELD DEEP ADMIRATION AND LOVE FOR HIM. IN ADDITION TO HIS SERVICE IN THE COMMUNITY AND MEDICAL FIELD, GEORGE WAS A PROUD
MEMBER OF THE MASONIC LODGE IN HOUSTON, WHERE HE FORMED LIFELONG BONDS OF
BROTHERHOOD AND CONTINUED HIS COMMITMENT TO CHARITY AND SERVICE.
HE WAS PRECEDED IN DEATH BY HIS GRANDMOTHERS AND HIS SISTER, CRYSTAL PACE. HE IS
SURVIVED BY HIS LOVING PARENTS, GEORGE R. PACE IV AND ELEANOR F. VICTORIA; HIS STEPFATHER,
CLIFTON D. NANCE; HIS SISTER, RAICHELLE LLOYD; HIS BROTHER JEREMY PACE, HIS TWIN BROTHER,
GREGORY J PACE, AND SISTER-IN-LAW, BLANCA PACE; HIS FIVE NIECES, JAYLIN JACKSON, KELSEA
JACKSON, MIKAYLA DAVIS, MAYAH ADAMS, AND MADALEINE GUEVARA; AND HIS NEPHEWS, JEREMY PACE JR, GREGORY J PACE JR. GEORGE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS INFECTIOUS LAUGHTER, WARM PERSONALITY, AND ABILITY TO
CONNECT WITH ANYONE—HE NEVER MET A STRANGER. HIS PRESENCE BROUGHT JOY TO MANY, AND
HIS ABSENCE LEAVES A DEEP VOID IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO KNEW HIM.
THOUGH HE HAS LEFT US TOO SOON, WE FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING HE RESTS IN THE LOVING
EMBRACE OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN—GEORGE, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
