George Fred Lesseg, 97, passed away on May 24th, 2023, at his home in Brussels, IL. George was born on August 11th, 1925 at his family's home to the late Anna Fredrickson and Walter Lesseg.

He married Lale Jean Carnes on November 22, 1952, at the Zion Luthern church in Batchtown, IL.

George lived a full and long life, always putting his family and friends first and never thinking of himself. He served in the army for a full 4 years and was honorably discharged to then come back to Calhoun and marry his wife. He then started work in the Forestry department for the state of Illinois, which he continued until his retirement.
