George Chin

Obituary Date: Wednesday, September 7, 2022

George Chin of Sandy Springs and Gainesville, GA finished his journey at the age of 72 on Wednesday, September 7, 2022. He passed peacefully with his family by his side at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.

George was born on July 27, 1950, in Champaign, Illinois to George Chin Moy and Jean Chin. For decades, Chin owned and operated several restaurants and bars in Champaign, and managed or consulted several successful restaurant concepts in Illinois, Texas, and Georgia. After retiring in Georgia, George rekindled his love of fishing on Lake Lanier. He never missed a bass club meeting and cherished his fishing family.

George lived life at 110%. He saw life as an adventure and brought those around him along for the ride. From an early age, he found what was interesting in everyone he met. He befriended and included everyone. He was curious, persistent, playful and had an infectious laugh and smile. George loved his cooking and delighted friends and family with his culinary skills. Above all else, he was a selfless father and grandfather.

George is survived by his wife and partner in life, Elaine Massock; son, Michael (Krissy) Chin and their children Avery & Scottie; son, John (Lindsay) Chin and their children, Joseph & Jeremy; daughter, Lauren Chin (Omar Tazi Mzaalek) and their children, Idriss George & Aida Lucille; son Alexander Chin; brother, Eddie Chin; a host of other relatives & friends also survive. He was preceded in death by his sister, Jennie Chin.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Please share online condolences and sign the guest registry at www.wardsfh.com. Ward’s Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Georgie Chin.
