George was a proud 1960 graduate of Mount Carmel High School in Abbeville. He then earned his Bachelor's degree from Louisiana State University and later earned a Master's degree at McNeese State University. Throughout his distinguished career, he served as a teacher, coach, and school administrator for the Vermilion Parish School Board and Vermilion Catholic High School. His passion for sports, especially track and football, and his love for golf, were defining aspects of his life, which he enjoyed both on and off the field.

He is survived by his loving spouse of 59 years, Louella Redmond Veazey; sons, Andy Veazey and his wife, Patrice, and Matthew Veazey and his wife, Amanda; daughter, Lynn Veazey; beloved grandchildren, Paul, Ann (T.J.), Lily (Samy), Eloise, Patrick, and Emily; and two great-grandsons, Maverick and Benson.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George Veazey and the former Mary Grace Broussard; son, Douglas Veazey; and brothers, Mike Veazey and P.J. Veazey.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Drs. Vernon Valentino, David Daly, and Ronald Lahasky, the nursing staff at Our Lady of Lourdes, and the staff of Hospice of Acadiana for their dedicated and professional care over many years.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in George's honor to the Vermilion Catholic P.J. Veazey Memorial Fund or Hospice of Acadiana.
