January 11, 1954 - January 30, 2013
*Obituary
George Lovell Looney, 59, of Mountain View, Arkansas, died Wednesday morning, January 30, 2013 in his home.
George was born January 11, 1954 in Batesville, Arkansas to Grace Lorraine Looney and James Orby Looney who preceded him in death and who were also residents of Mountain View, Arkansas.
George married Karen Jeane Stone; Yuma, Arizona in 2002, Karen survives in their home.
For the last 40 years George has worked as a craftsman at The Dulcimer Shoppe in Mountain View. An avid outdoorsman, George found peace and comfort by spending as much time outside, hiking, arrowhead hunting, doing woodworking projects and working in the yard with Karen "Honey" as he called her. Though not an openly religious man, George always felt closest to God while outside surrounded by nature and God's creatures.
When George married Karen on December 28, 2002 he not only earned the title of husband but also the title of "Bonus Dad" to Karen's 4 children, Shona Watson, Tosha Edwards, Mike Williams and Mark Williams as well as the title of Grandpa to 15 grandchildren, Kaelea, Britnie, Alissa, Hadlee, Hunter, Hollyn, Hope, Asher, Tyson, Makayla, Makenzy, Miley, Taylyn, Liam, and Jase. The only thing George loved more than Karen and being outside in nature was being a "Bonus Dad" and spending time with his kids and grandkids.
George is survived by his sister Peggy Trammell of Timbo, brothers Doug Looney, Tommy and wife Mona Looney, Dwight Looney and Jim and wife Karen Looney all from Mountain View, Arkansas. Numerous nieces and nephews.
George was buried on January 30, 2013 at Flatwoods Cemetery in Mountain View, only family in attendance. A celebration of his life will be held in Nebraska for family at a later date.
In lieu of memorials please send donations to CMC Hospice 400 South College, Suite 2, Mountain Home, AR. 72653.
