George Donald Bee was the foundation of a big, loving family. A husband, father, grandfather, and a steadfast friend. He passed away on May 2nd, 2026—a beautiful, sunny day, on his Triumph. Life took George on a journey, leading him from where he was born, Peoria, Illinois, on August 6, 1957, to Fate, Texas where he lived with the love of his life of 45 years, Brenda Bee. Together, they had three beautiful sons, and a blossoming family that steadily built around them. George held a fruitful career as an electrician—a diligent employee and a staple to the company he worked for. He always went above and beyond for his family and friends, ensuring everyone was taken care of and cared for. When he was not working, he enjoyed watching the Dallas Cowboys and the Mavericks, building model ships, and spending time with his many grandchildren. He was the foundation of the family, and Brenda was his heart, everything he did, he did for family. He is survived by his wife, Brenda Bee; his children, Bryan Bee and wife Jennifer, George Bee III and wife Tina, and Christopher Bee and wife Cemi. He was a proud grandfather to Nikolai, Samantha, Icess, Tatianna, Alexandria, Kristyann, George IV, Seth, Jesse, Bradley, Eden, and Lucas. He also leaves behind siblings—John Kelley, Kenny Kelley, Jimmy Kelley, Bobby Parris, Paul Parris, Shirley Fulk, Robin Hamilton, Mary Kelley, Richard Elmore, Daniel Puckett, Ronnie Hughes, and David Johnson. As well as many nieces and nephews, and a large found family bonded by more than blood. He was preceded in death by his parents, Cathrine Fuller, Jim Kelly, Russell Campbell; his brothers, James Richardson, and Johnny Johnson; and his niece Skye Puckett. "May my tires tread on pavement, May my fairing cut the breeze. May my headlights keep on shining, May my bike avoid all trees. May I ride forever safely, Both in sunshine and in showers. May I ride forever freely, And enjoy this land of yours." Memorial Service Friday, May 22, 2026 1:00 PM Lynch Funeral Service Chapel 4238 Hwy 34 South Greenville,TX 75402
