George Jay Schwoegler III, a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and respiratory therapist, passed away on October 31, 2023, at the age of 54, after a brief but courageous journey with pancreatic cancer. Born in Arizona, George was adopted by his loving parents, Audrey and George. He worked in various roles in his early adulthood including roofing and cooking as a short line cook in restaurant kitchens. In California, he pursued a respiratory therapy license at El Camino College and obtained his bachelor’s degree in business finance at California State University, Dominguez Hills. Throughout his career, George demonstrated unwavering dedication and passion for his work and patients, especially during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he provided brave and exceptional care to numerous patients.
Beyond his profession, George found solace and joy in the beauty of nature, spending much of his time hiking, camping, and exploring the great outdoors of California, Utah, Arizona, Washington, and Colorado. He regularly played racquetball, enjoyed working on old off-road trucks, and maintained a constant collection of tropical fish and coral. Above all, George cherished time with his family, always ready for an adventure, good food, and laughter.
George is survived by his beloved wife, Xiao Hong (Angie); his sisters, Tina and Susie; his biological mother, Ramona; his 5 children, Jessica (Drew), Amanda (Victor), Jayson, Alyssa, and Justyn; and his 6 cherished grandchildren, Benjamin, Adeline, Eleanor, Jack, Oliver, and Levi. George is preceded in death by his mother Audrey, his father George, and his brother Dennis. His memory will be forever cherished by all who knew him.
Following his wishes, there will be no funeral service for George. The family appreciates all the love and support during this challenging time.
George’s memory will live on through the lives he touched and the love of nature he passed on to his loved ones.
May he rest in peace.
My heart is broken…..
My prayers and deepest condolences to Angie, his children, grandchildren, and remaining family.

Bob and I give our deepest condolence to his wife, children and his children’s families. We know the pain must have been excruciating. May a tree be planted in his memory or a donation to any charity that promotes healthcare or subscribe to an environmental magazine that promotes ocean life or cherish his memory of laughter and smiles. We are sooooooo sorry for your loss.
Amanda,
We didn’t have the opportunity to meet George but we know his children loved him dearly. We are so sorry for the loss to you and your sister and the rest of your family. We love you,
Andre, Sheila and Julie ????????????????????????????
I worked with George in Greeley. He was a really good guy. I’m so sorry this happened.
Condolences hardly seem enough. He was lost too soon and will be sorely missed by all. I am reminded that we all become orphans at some time, but the pain is the same as the lose hits home. Memories will see you through this hard time.
I didn’t know George for very long but he always talked about how much he enjoyed his family. Family is always the most important thing and he really had that figured out.
His sense of humor and insight will be missed.
Later buddy!
Our girls that are childhood friends of Jessica and Amanda both reached out to us with the news. Many years have passed since we have seen George and his families yet the heartache and pain clearly was felt. So young and so sad and losing your daddy is such a fear no matter how old. Godspeed to George and to everyone he left behind let it be known that his love was felt by all. He was clearly very proud of all of you. So very sorry for all including his family that we aren’t acquainted with . May good memories and his love help you through the coming days. There are many that hurt and care along with all of you. So very sorry.
