Batavia - George J. Horner, 34 of Batavia passed away unexpectedly and has entered into rest on September 30, 2023 at his home in Batavia. He was in the faithful presence of his companion dogs, Kona and Yuna.

George was born October 27, 1988 in Brockport, a son of the late William G. and Ann J. (Carr) Horner.

George was a hard worker, employed in the shipping department at Ashley Furniture in Batavia.  He was a history buff, enjoyed the great outdoors and video games.  George especially loved spending time with his family and friends, with whom he would always play hard and lived by his go to saying in life, "game on ''.
