He was born on November 15, 1965 to the late George and Lizzie Mae Bates Staples in Columbia, SC. “Junior”, as he was affectionately known, was educated in the Richland County Public School System. He worked at various places but, cooking was his passion. George was a compassionate, born again Christian and his confession of “Walking with the King” never changed. He was an avid Gamecock and Carolina Panther fan. However, he always made it known how much he loved his family who will truly miss him. Junior was a people’s person who was very giving. He was a known warrior who loved to travel and socialize. George was a man of his word with a great sense of humor. George was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Bruce Glover. Left to cherish precious memories are: three sisters, Deborah “Penny” Mc Daniels, Lavoris “Cookie” Staples and Angelia “Gigi” Staples; an auntie that he loved dearly, Gladys (Willie) Hardin of Clarksville, TN; seven nieces, Shameek Staples-Shakur, Chenon, Tanesha and NaKila McDaniels, Tamara Tucker, and Chelsea and Tiffany Staples; four nephews, Antonio, Yohance, Maurice and Craig Tucker and a host of great nieces and nephews, cousins, other loving relatives and friends. Please leave the family your condolences and prayers. The Staples family, acknowledges with grateful appreciation, all of your kind expressions of love and sympathy. Thank you for helping us care for our families. A. A. Dicks, Sr. and Staff.
