George W. Coombs

TEASDALE- George Wyllie Coombs was born January 6, 1948 in Richfield, Utah to Guy Lewis and Phyllis Wyllie Coombs and was a lifelong resident of Teasdale, Utah. George had a tenacious work ethic working the family farm/ranch his entire life as well as 30 years at the Egan Fish Hatchery. He was an up early in the morning tough old boy; and even into his late sixties he could move all day and keep up with anyone and would be the first to grab the shovel from a youngster and show them how a proper post hole was to be dug. He stayed busy and will be remembered for his fields of hay, being the docker of the sheep, perfect fence lines and leather working projects. George spent many years herding sheep and carried with him a sophisticated knowledge of the area. This was known and conveyed through his prodigious storytelling. He was passionate about many causes actively working through the years with the Farm Bureau, Central Utah Health Board, The Entrada, and Alcoholics Anonymous where he helped so many during his decades of sobriety. He worked hard for his family, helped countless people and exhibited honorable qualities throughout his life. The family wishes to express gratitude and thanks to the Wayne County EMS. In lieu of flowers we ask donations be made to them. Wayne County EMS P.O. Box 157 18 South Main Street Loa, Utah 84747 A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, June 29, 2018 at 12 Noon in the Wayne Community Center in Bicknell, where friends may visit with the family one hour prior to the services.
