George will be remembered by a large family and friends. He was known as a gentle, quiet, giving person. During his short life, he achieved many remarkable things. George graduated from Spring Lake Earth High School in Texas. There he played football and basketball. He studied Spanish there and could speak it fluently.
His passion was for electronics. He pursued college training and received two Associate Degrees. These degrees led him to work in a number of trades, starting in Houston, Texas. Pueblo Trane was his last job leading to retirement.
Mr. Nance left behind one sister, Lillie Nance Molden of Pueblo, Colo.; his roommate, Cindy Zohar of the home; and close friend, Mary Jane Franklin of Houston and her daughter, Kendra Johnson who he saw as a daughter. Mr. Nance also leaves behind close nieces and nephews that he grew up with as his sisters and brothers, Gregg Molden and his daughter Miciah of Pueblo, Colo, Lynette (Derrick) Basinger of Houston, Texas, Mirianda and Jordan Molden of Houston, Texas, Phaedra (Kevin) Russell, Lillie (Robert) Shannon and her son, Bentley of Fort Worth, Texas, Avree and Roman Russell, Victoria Davis and her son, Jacob of Pueblo West, Colo., and Kenneth Nance and children, Malik and Amiah of Olathe, Kan. He was preceded in death by his parents, Marcellus and Lillie Nance; siblings, Marcellus Jr. of Los Angeles, Ida M.

To Lilly and the family. So very sorry for your loss. We as a family, just lost touch with each other.
I am really sorry for that . . . as children we were close to our uncles, aunts and cousins. I guess we just let life get in the way.
R.I.P. George
Lillie Marie I was saddened to hear of your brother George’s passing. My prayers are with you & the rest of the family during this time of loss. I am reminded of how precious time & relationships are in life. I have not seen or spoken with George since we were children. It is unfortunate that distance was allowed to disrupt our family connection & that precious time for relationship was lost. Rest in Peace Cousin George.

I have missed him horribly and am heartbroken to learn of his passing. I send my love to Lillie and Cindy. I love you always, George and shall remember your wisdom: “Peace is the way.” ❣

I worked with George for 4 years at benshaw corporation in pueblo. Him and I were best of buddies at work…always laughing and always shaking hands every morning. Always kept in touch after the company shut down……R.I.P. Bro! You’ll be missed by all!!
I worked with George at Benshaw and Trane and he was a great friend and co-worker. I could always count on a “How ya lookin ” and that great smile from him through the last number of years. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who knew and loved him.
