February 16, 1948 – June 23, 2024

George James Gewinner, a lifelong resident of St. Louis, MO, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2024, at the age of 76. Born on February 16, 1948, he was the beloved son of the late Oscar (Bud) and Marie Gewinner Jr.

He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Jackie (Steve Wilde), his son Matthew, granddaughter Breanna, and ex-wife Janet. George was brother to John (Beth) and Jim (Kym), uncle to many nieces and nephews, and friend to many. His family and friends were the cornerstone of his life, and his love and dedication to them were unwavering.

George served his country as a member of the United States Army as an Infantry Platoon Sergeant during Vietnam. He graduated from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and worked as a commodities broker and carpenter.  

George had a profound love for tennis and played as often as he could. His prized Miata was a testament to his love for cars and racing. He enjoyed being a hockey Dad to his son Matt. George also found great satisfaction in helping his daughter Jackie with her home renovations, extending his carpentry skills to countless others.

A service to celebrate George’s life will be held at Sqwires Annex on July 11, 2024 at 11:00 a.m., with lunch to follow. 

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in George’s memory.

George James Gewinner will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

His spirit of generosity, love for his family, and zest for life will forever be remembered.
