GEORGE BURTON WOODBURY IV

Lifelong Alaskan George Burton Woodbury IV died July 25, 2004, at his home in Big Lake. He was 17 months old.

A celebration of Georgie's life is planned for 7 p.m. Friday at Valley Funeral Home in Wasilla. Georgie was born on Jan. 6, 2003, in Anchorage, to Kim and George B. Woodbury III.

His family wrote, "An energetic and vocal tyke, Georgie experienced much in his short time with us, from snowmachining and four-wheeling to camping and helping dad drive the bulldozer, pick up loads in the dump truck and pulling flowers -- not weeds -- with mom in the family gardens. Georgie always had a smile and a pair of dimples for everyone, and picked up nicknames like he picked up pebbles in the yard, including Quattro, Jojo, G4 and Little Buddy."

Georgie is survived by his mother and father, Kim and George B. Woodbury III, of Big Lake; grandparents, Joanne and Tom Omalia, of Anchorage, Laura and Larry Langley, of Elizabeth, Colo., Rolly and Renee Grabbe, of Anchorage; aunt and uncle, Angel Boga and John Woodbury, of Anchorage; aunt, uncle and cousins, Sandy, Kit, Isaiah and Hanna Grabbe, of Castle Rock, Colo.; aunt and uncle, Lori and Tim Omalia; aunt, uncle and cousins, Trish, Dirk, Taylor and Soren White, of Sitka; his dog, Patch; and many, many relatives, friends and playpals.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests considerations be sent to memorial accounts for Georgie at Key Bank and Alaska USA.
