It is with great sadness that we report George R. Tackett passed away on April 4, 2026. George was born February 17, 1930 in Fairmont, West Virginia where he grew up. He proudly served in the U.S.A.F. during the Korean war. He had successful careers at and retired from Nevada Bell (AT&T) and Sierra Pacific Power Company (NV Energy) where he made many life-long friends. He was married to the love of his life, Peggy, for 60 years who preceded him in death. He was father to Gary (deceased), Roberta (deceased) and Rebecca (Sparks). He was always an optimistic soul who lived a long and happy life with a smile on his face and a heart filled with kindness, love, and respect for everyone he met.
