George T. Edinger, 66, of Butler passed away Wednesday while surrounded by his family.

He was born to Betty (Farmer) Edinger and the late James Clayton Edinger in Butler.

He is survived by his wife, Roxanne (Wagner) Edinger, the love of his life, his best friend and soulmate, to whom he was married for 47 years; one daughter, Erin B. (Edinger) Davis and her husband, John, and their three children, Zachary Thomas, Ethan John and Elizabeth Marie of Cranberry Township; one son, Alex J. Edinger and his fiance, Kate Soroczak, of Slippery Rock; one brother, John P.

George was a man of great honor. He was blessed with many friends. He always opened his home to those who were going through a rough patch, and he will forever be remembered and loved.

“A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don't worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes we're together again.”
