George W. Wolfenden, Jr.

George was born in Philadelphia to the late George Wolfenden and Alfreda Zgoda Deininger.  He passed away at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania after a valiant battle with cancer.

George was an amazing guy who loved his family beyond any words could ever express, and when I say family I don’t just mean the people he was related to but also the people he chose. To know George was to love George, his heart was as big as his body. 

His previous job was a laborer, (Active Radiator) and his favorite part of the job was the people he worked with. He had his daily doses of happiness by spending time with his family, playing Dead by Daylight, and creating worlds in The SIMS. The Big G was a man of many talents who truly enjoyed art, music, playing his guitar, video games, and watching his Slapped Ham videos. 

One of his favorite things to tell stories about was when he was in the band Afterbirth. He with such happiness would sing (scream❤️) the songs while playing his guitar. But what he loved talking about the most was his biggest treasure in life his two sons George and Mark. 

In addition to his children, he is survived by his siblings Jeannette Martin, Heather Clark and William Deininger. He was predeceased by his brother Ronald.  He will be sadly missed by his nieces, nephews and many friends.
