1939 - 2009
 George Lucian Stiltner, 69, of Salt Rock, WV, passed away Wednesday, July 29, 2009, at St. Mary's Medical Center. Visitation will be from 6-8 p.m. on August 1, 2009, and funeral services will be conducted at 12 p.m. Sunday, August 2, 2009, at Wallace Funeral Home & Chapel, Barboursville, by Rev. Cliff Larson. Burial will be in Community Memorial Garden, Wayne, WV. He was born December 12, 1939, in Logan, WV, a son of the late Hawk and Ruth Dyer Stiltner. He is survived by his devoted wife, Shirley Keyser Stiltner; three loving daughters and son-in-Iaws, Susan and Jason Weaver, Crown City, Ohio, Sara and Tracy Malcolm, Panama City, FL, and Stephanie and Mark Midkiff, Salt Rock, WV; 10 wonderful grandchildren whom he loved dearly, Julia Gwinn, Laura Gwinn, Aaron Gwinn, Ellen Weaver, Kassi Malcolm, Nicholas Lucian Malcolm, Austin Malcolm, Mason Midkiff and Ethan Midkiff; lifelong friend, Clyde and his wife Gaye; and special buddy, Gizmo. He had many nieces, nephews, close friends, and co-workers, too many to name. George was the best friend you could ever have. He always had time to help fix any problems or situations, whether it be babysitting the elderly, pulling you out of a ditch or running his personal taxi for "friends in need". Yes, he will be missed in our community. He was a soft spoken,gentle and kind person. He loved his family with all his being and was the BEST DAD, HUSBAND, GRANDPA and friend anyone could ask for! He loved old movies, especially John Wayne westerns. He enjoyed Nascar Racing and welcomed you into his home -anytime! George was a member of Roach Baptist Church and served as Trustee for several years. He was a special friend to so many. He worked at Owens-Illinois Glass Plant for 27 years and retired in 1994. He was preceded in death by his granddaughter, Leslie Caroline Weaver and his brother Glen. He has one surviving brother, John. Flowers will be welcome or donations may be made to one's favorite charity. We send a special thank you to Dr. Shawn Coffman and Dr. Kimmey for their wonderful care. |

Steph, Mark, Mason, & Ethan: Im so sorry for your loss and I know there are no comforting words ina time like this. Losing a parent is one of the hardest losses. But from reading his obituary I know he was an outstanding man and his legacy will carry on through all of you and the people he touched throughout his life.

I am so sorry for the loss to your family. Your love for your Dad showed everyday when you would speak of him. You all cared deeply for him and gave him good care the only way he could achieve better care is by being where he is now. Take comfort in knowing he is with God and not hurting.
Love Ya

So sorry about your grief, but grateful for the joy he now experiences. Great hope is found in knowing he cannot be lost if we know where he is. He lived for the day to see his Savior, that day came. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Dear Shirley,
I just want to say how very sorry I am for your loss. Luke was always a very special man to all who knew him and will be greatly missed. I, from my loss of my dear husband know how hard it is right now, but just keep all those great memories you all have and use them as strength toward the future and know he is up there looking down and always with much love.
