George Schell

June 4, 1951 - February 14, 2025

In Loving Memory

On February 14, 2025, the world lost an extraordinary man, George (Butch) Schell. He left an incredible mark on everyone he met. George was 73 years old.

Beloved husband to Lorraine, his true love and best friend through life’s journey for 55 years (married for 50). Their love and commitment to one another were evident in the countless memories they created together.

Devoted father to Lauren (Stephen). George’s greatest happiness was his grandchildren, Gracelyn and Zion. He loved watching them grow, always offering support, encouragement, and love. He was immensely proud of his wife, daughter, and grandchildren, whom he loved with all his heart.

Loving son to George Sr. (predeceased) and Theresa (predeceased). Amazing brother to Catherine (Fred), Johnny (Maisie), Diane (predeceased), Georgina (predeceased), Joanne (predeceased), and Philip (predeceased).

Loving son-in-law to Loretta Tuff (Eric) and Sam Barbara (Jackie), loving brother-in-law to Darlene (Rod), Mark (Laura), Greg (Tracey), and George (predeceased), and a caring uncle to numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

If you were a neighbour, friend, or co-worker, you knew you could always count on George for a helping hand.

George was born in Toronto on June 4, 1951. In his early years, he moved to Coboconk, Ontario, and later resided back in the GTA. He will be remembered not only for his dedication to his family but also for the joy and laughter he brought to every room he entered.

Though he left us too soon, George’s spirit lives on in the memories he created and the family and friends who will forever carry him in their hearts. He will always be remembered, deeply missed, and forever loved.

The Schell family warmly invites everyone to George’s celebration of life. Details to follow.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME.
