George David PRIEST

PRIEST, GEORGE DAVID A Soldier Down This soldier belongs to God His sickness and pain never stopped the song The door of life has closed But on the other side A brighter walk in HIS heavenly home A new song shall be sung! Passed away quietly on May 3, 2007 in the palliative care unit at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital after a lengthy battle with malignant melanoma surrounded by his loving family. A great deal of his treatment was received at the Ottawa General Hospital. George is the beloved husband of Dr. Bonnie Priest (Clark). George will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his children, Jeremy (Sandie), Anthony (Kathy), Jason (Nicole), Jill Greer (Jeff), Brent (Kim), Jennifer, Shauna and Shannon. "Papa" will be in the hearts of his grandchildren, Shawn, Nicholas, Morgan (Wally), Jesse, Cassandra, Nicole, Jacob, Emma, Brentana and Brooklyn; great grandchildren Mya and Christopher. He is also survived by mother Laura Priest of Temperance Vale and was predeceased by his father Pastor Raymond Priest. George is also survived by his sisters, Anne Thornton (Dana) and Debbie (Alberta); several nieces and nephews; brothers-in-law, George Wright (Pat), of Ottawa, Peter Clark (Silvi), Ron Clark (Paulette), Jimmy; sister-in-law, Shirley Duncan (John) and mother-in-law, Dorothy Clark. George traveled the "journey" going through valleys and reaching mountain tops. Over the past few years George came into a more peaceful spot with his Maker, releasing gospel CD "Mercy" in 2005. In 2007 George released CD "Ransomed" in conjunction with open door fellowship, the church he was affiliated with in Brockville, Ontario. George or "Pastor George" as many called him, spent years in sales and he also preached many people through to the Holy Spirit at a National level. His energy, love for family and most of all his love for God will be remembered by those who knew him.
