George Michael Piaskowski, born on April 14, 1955, in Anchorage, Alaska, passed away on April 25, 2026, at the age of 71.

George lived his entire life in Anchorage, building a life defined by hard work, loyalty and a deep connection to his family and the outdoors. He worked at Sunrise Bakery for 20 years, retiring at age 55. He was known as someone you could count on—steady, dependable and always willing to do what needed to be done.

He was a man who could fix anything and took pride in his work. Some of his most valued memories were the hours spent in his father's garage alongside his brothers, where work and time together went hand-in-hand.

George found peace and happiness outdoors. He loved halibut fishing out of Seward, Alaska, and was known for insisting on traveling 50 miles out to reach his favorite spot. He built his own airboat, a reflection of his determination and skill.

He served as president of the Alaska Boating Association in the early 1990s, giving his time to a community he believed in.

George was not one for many words, but his loyalty to those he loved never wavered. He showed his love through what he did—by being there, by helping and by standing beside his family through everything.

He is survived by his wife, Carol Piaskowski; children, Kendra Kirkpatrick (50), Tricia Piaskowski (49), George Piaskowski II (43) and Mike Piaskowski (39); siblings, Tom Piaskowski, Dennis Piaskowski and Kathy Piaskowski; mother, Mary Piaskowski; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Jennifer Piaskowski; father, Ted Piaskowski; and brothers, Jimmy and Patrick Piaskowski.

He will be deeply missed.
