George Elliot May, 58, passed away Saturday, Aug. 25, 2018, after a short illness in Fort Wayne’s Lutheran Hospital.

He was born March 24, 1960, in Warsaw. He was the son of Robert and Ruby (Sparks) May and one of seven children. Mr. May attended Tippecanoe Valley schools and began driving trucks at age 16.

It was while driving a chicken hauler that he would meet Teri Smith. Ms. Smith would become his companion and long-time friend. Together, the two shared nearly forty years and a son, Chad May.

Mr. May was an absolutely giving person. He was always willing to help someone in a pinch and was not one to hold his opinion back. He was honest and caring and a hard worker. For the past twelve years, he drove a truck for Ag Trucking, hauling limestone all over the Midwest. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed fishing, especially for Bass; he had even retrofitted a speed boat with live wells as his personal Bass boat.

In addition to his son, Chad May, and long-time friend, Teri Smith, both of Warsaw, those left with broken hearts include his mother, Ruby May; two additional sons: Brock (Lindsey) O’Brien, Churubusco; and Nicholas Smith, Warsaw; daughter, Olivia Smith, Warsaw; four brothers: John (Lisa) May, Rochester; Bill (Cindy) May, Tennessee; Carson (Shelly) May, Palestine; and Rod (Linda) May, Warsaw; two sisters: Bobbie Welch, North Carolina; and Robin (Josh) Rhodes, Warsaw. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Those who preceded him in passing include his father, Robert; two aunts, Susie Davis and Barb Francis and an uncle, Con May.

Friends may join family at Titus Funeral Home, 2000 East Sheridan Street, Warsaw, for a time of viewing from noon-2 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 2. Beginning at 2 p.m., Kevin Gray, who was like a brother to George May, will officiate a celebration of life service.
