George W. Killian

FREDERICKTOWN George Killian, of rural Fredericktown, entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 at the age of 66. He was born December 21, 1955 to the late Robert Killian and Norma R. (Pritchett) Killian. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by one brother, Robert "Jim" Killian and his mother and father-in-law, Carolyn and Donald Williams. George was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and uncle. He was an avid hunter, carpenter, fisherman and most of all he was a kind, loving, caring Christian man. He so enjoyed coon hounds and his Plott Coon Hound, Luther, made him very proud. George entered Luther in hunting contests where he won Grand Knight Champion and also the Governors Cup. Many family and friends will recall so many wonderful memories of Georges fun-loving sense of humor. When around him, it was not uncommon to suffer from sore sides after laughing as he would tell very humorous tales of his childhood, "big coon hunts" and other sweet memories that he would share. He was a hard worker, volunteer and a faithful member of Genevieve Baptist Church. His loved ones hearts are filled with wonderful memories and love, but they are heavily filled with sorrow. Survivors include his wife of 34 years, Karen (Williams) Killian; a son, David (Lavona) Miller; five grandchildren, Tallie Lucas, Orry Miller, Talon Jones, Ryker Jones and Kaley Miller; five great grandchildren, Bailee, Kaesyn, Jeffery, Joseph and Bobby; four brothers, Fred (Sandy) Killian, John (Renee) Killian, Noah "Jess" (Sheila) Killian and Elliott "Tracy" Killian; brothers-in-law, Stephen (Brenda) Williams; Michael (Pam) Williams and sister-in-law, Vickie (Mike) Pogue; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and his Genevieve Baptist Church family.
