George William Faulkner

February 07, 1942 ~ May 11, 2025

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

On the 11th of May 2025, George W. Faulkner escaped this life to join his loved ones on the other side. George was born on February 7, 1942, in Takoma Park, Maryland to Woodrow Earnest and Louise Vergie (Long) Faulkner.

He met the love of his life, Susan Elizabeth Martha Poppert, at a dance hall and fell in love on the dance floor. They got married on August 12, 1965, in Alexandria, Virginia. Two sons, Jeffrey and Stephen, were born out of this union.

He was a proud veteran of the Vietnam War, where he served in the Air Force as an airplane mechanic.
George was a union carpenter who owned a drywall company, Craftsman Drywall, that his wife and sons were heavily involved in. He shared his passion for construction with his sons. Jeff became a skilled drywall finisher, and Steve became a rough carpenter, later to advance to a Superintendent.

He also had a passion for the word of God. For the past 20 years, he spent numerous hours a day reading the Bible and praying.

George was preceded in death by his parents, his wife (Sue), his son (Jeff), and his sister (Margaret Byrne).

He is survived by his son, Stephen Faulkner of West Palm Beach along with Alexis (granddaughter) and Jordan (grandson) of Billings, Montana. Survivors also include three nieces – Jennifer, Elizabeth, and Emily along with their families.

He will be cremated and laid to rest in the South Florida National Cemetery.

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

I knew George and his sweet wife Sue as they they were my sisters in-laws. I remember George to be a kind man with a quick smile, practical, and loved his family.

Thank you for the opportunity to care for Mr. Faulkner. He was a joy and a pleasure to care for, and always had a joke to share. Anytime I asked if he needed anything, he replied with peanut butter & graham crackers; truly an easy to please person. Working the family was also a pleasure. I am so thankful to have known him.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
