May you all rest in peace.

Mike Green (broken rod)
From his son Mr.LEGEND

My dad was a down to earth go ole boy who had done every thing in his life that he wanted to. He was very proud of his family. He was a phenomenal father, husband, teacher and my best friend. He qualified 2 times to go to the world coon hunt in the UKC. He also qualified to go in the PKC. But he never got to compete in them due to finances. He always made sure family came first. My dad was very loyal to my mom. He grew up in the Lake Dallas area and attended school there. He was the only person from Lake Dallas High School to receive an award from Austin for his outstanding knowledge of small engine mechanics. He is the only man I know at 18 years old to teach a mechanics course in high school. He loved fishing and was a very tough competitor on area lakes in north Texas. He was a guide on Lake Lewisville for years. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone and would not question it. He had his way of helping people. Whether it was marital, financial, or just questions about life he had an answer. He wouldn’t sugar coat anything, he would tell you how it was. May the sun rise on calm waters and the wind breeze from the west ... may the day bring peace and joy with every cast every hook set you will be in my heart and there to see what you helped raise out of tears joy and happiness. I love you dad and we got it under control down here.

Blake Anthony George (LKGFISHNBASS)
From his wife Louise George

Blake Anthony George, 07/21/1968 to 07/28/2008, born in Little Rock, AR, died in Hurst, TX.

Blake was survived by his wife Louise and children Joshua, Hailee and Alexa, parents Roy and Sandy George, and Paul and Grace Byrd. Also, he was survivied by sisters Rhonda, Kelley and Blyss, and brother Jim.

Blake was no angel, but he was our angel. Blake always put his family first, no matter what. He really took care of us. Blake always had numerous projects from fishing to football. He was always looking for another way to improve the quality of our lives financially.

Blake worked in many capacities most recently in the Tarrant County Judicial System, but was previously with the Tarrant County Sheriff's Dept for more than 14 years. Blake served in the Army National Guard in his younger days, his son Josh followed in his footsteps and is due to deploy to Iraq September 3rd.

Blake had many friends. He was always able to make you smile, no matter how your day was going. He was always ready to help a friend in need and on numerous occasions called me with the news that he had loaned someone money to pay a bill. He was a very generous man. He was a great example to me.

Blake was the love of my life, and unfortunately only came into my life 6 short years ago. I knew from the moment we met that he was someone different from the norm. He captured me with his love of life and passionate spirit. He pushed me beyond my comfort zones and introduced me to the sport of fishing, a passion that we shared.

I will miss Blake in so many ways. Most of all I think I will miss his sweet smile and fun loving nature.

I have had so many comments from people I don't even know about how Blake touched their life. Not in some astounding way, but in the small daily acts of kindness that he showed to so many.

Blake will be missed.
Louise George
