George Trowbridge Eliason

George Eliason was born on January 22, 1958 and passed away on July 9th, 2015. He died after a long illness while under Hospice care at the home of his daughter, Barbara, in Cape Coral Florida. He was born in Denver Colorado, then moved with his parents to St. Petersburg, Florida.

A graduate of local schools, he earned his environmental biology degree at the University of South Florida and later employed by HDR Engineering for 20 years. His health was declining in health over the past 5 years, but still retained his humor on occasions. The love of his life was local birds, and tramping in wetlands when he was able. He was very vocal about the environment and what should be done to save it. George was an avid swimmer at one time and a member of Masters at the St. Petersburg Aquatic center.

George is survived by his daughters Barbara RN BSN, of Cape Coral, and Autumn, a PA student at Wake Forest University, his parents, Dr. Richard Eliason and Neila Eliason of St. Petersburg Florida, and a brother Steven in Fort Bragg, California. He will be missed by his family and many friends.

Memorial Services will be held 1:00 PM, Saturday, September 12, 2015 at St. Matthews Episcopal Church, 738 Pinellas Point Drive, South, St. Petersburg, FL 33705.

Mullins Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Cape Coral, is entrusted with final care.
