My heart is broken, I am so very sorry for the George family. They have all been a big part of my life for many years and I loved Steve very much. My prayers are with you all and I love you!
Steve was such a caring, talented person. He was a dear friend and will be missed.
Ms Dot, So sorry for your great loss! Steve was smiling every time I saw him. We are thinking of you and prayers go up in your behalf. May you find peace and comfort. Our love, Wanda and Bob Williams and Naomi Wallace
All of us at Talk of the Town and NewsChannel 5 were so sad to hear about Steve’s passing. He was part of our family for many years, and we loved his fun personality and great storytelling as much as we appreciated his hairstyling talents and contributions to our show. Praying for comfort and peace for all who loved Steve.
I’m so sorry to hear about Steve’s passing. He always made me laugh. Praying for all of the family at this time, especially Ms. Dot.
Ms. George, Steve was a very special person. He cut my hair one time while I was waiting on Jana to get hers done. I’ve know him a while but never scheduled an appointment time with him, just considered him as a friend through Jana. He never met a stranger and always wore a smile. I know he will be truly missed. May God bring comfort to you during this time of grief. Hold on to the memoires, that will get you through.
So very sad to hear this news. Steve was definitely one of a kind. We were all lucky to know him. He blessed so many with his talents, humor, and friendship. I still have a funny caricature that he drew of me when I was in high school. I will never forget Steve.
I am without words for the pain and shock I feel for Mrs Dot and the family. I am so sorry. Since junior high school I have known and loved these two wonderful people.
Steve was my friend. He was a really good storyteller. Steve lived many places and met many famous people. He will be remembered for his kindness to children.
There are not enough words to describe what Steve meant to me and my children! I worked next to him at Trumps for 16 years but in the salon for 20 years with him. He was line a brother to me in all ways!! I wanted to kill him but also loved him beyond words!!! My children and sisters loved him like our own family and probably liked him way better than the real family!! We are broken because he’s not with us anymore and pray for Dot because she was like a mom to me too!! Love y’all and we are praying for you all!
Condolences, love & prayers to the George family. I worked with Steve at Trumps for many years, never a shortage of laughs & stories! Everyone who knew him loved him. Biggest hugs going out to Ms.Dot, he loved you so much!❤
My love and prayers to the family. Mrs. Dot I love you and will never forget the love you have shown me since I was a child. God bless you and your family.
Sorry for your loss .

I’m so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I grew up knowing him and I especially enjoyed being in Adnia Rice’s Speech and Drama class with Steve. We had lost touch until we became Facebook friends a few years ago. My prayers are with you, Miss Dot and Mike and the rest of the family.
Steve always made you feel like everything was ok and you were just as fun as he was. I always looked forward to seeing him and our visits never disappointed me. Losing him makes me want to run and tell everyone I love just how special they are. I hope Steve knew how much he was adored by his friends. Ms. Dot and Mike – I’m so sorry.

Mrs Dot, I have been a part of this family or over 45 years. My heart is broken over the passing of my brother Steve. Every time we saw each other we would always hug n tell each other funny stories when I came to visit the George home. May God continue to shine his blessings upon Mrs Dot n I will forever cherish our relationship . I know Steve is in Heaven telling his funny stories.
Before, durning and after beauty school I kept hearing this name… Steve George. Seems like wherever I went I heard his name. Finally when I moved to Nashville for awhile, I and some of my coworkers went to a function at the War Memorial and Steve and some of the Trumps staff were there as well. I was introduced to him and I was in awe cause I’ve heard about him for years and to me it was like meeting the “hair god”.
He was personable and he saw the best in everyone and he loved the craft.
He will definitely be missed.
Sending love, strength and prayers to his mother.
Steve was great at telling a story and bringing a smile – he will be sorely missed in fayettevile Tn. Much love to his family.
