July 06, 1944 - March 10, 2022
George M. Melby, 77, passed away on March 10, 2022.
George grew up in North Dakota and his life journey led him down many paths. At different times he was a music teacher, a pastor, a singer, a piano player and an election worker. He was always ready with a joke or quick reply. His interests included becoming a pilot, advocating for immigration rights, promoting LGBTQ+ rights, abolishing capital punishment, and supporting the Poor People’s Campaign.
He had a love of plants and could grow anything. In the final years of his life, he found a home at Rainbow Mennonite Church in Kansas City, Kansas, where he was active in the choir and the playground committee.
George is survived by his loving partner Ario.
