S. George Voss passed away on June 28, 2024, at the age of 77. He was born on February

26th, 1947, in Madison, WI to the late Merlin Voss and Eleanor Himsel. He graduated from

Middleton High School in 1965 as a top basketball player. He went on to play at UW-Riverfalls

where he was also known to drive a Shelby Cobra. He graduated in 1970, and was always

very proud that all 10 of Merlin and Eleanor's children graduated from college.

George soon moved to Medford where he was a physical education teacher and Medford's

High School boys basketball coach. He enjoyed playing in basketball and softball leagues

through the years. He started a landscaping business to fill his summers and that eventually

became his full time employment. George added snow-plowing and a bison ranch south of

Stetsonville, WI to keep himself busy. When his children were in school he enjoyed coaching

them in basketball and hockey and all can remember well his encouragements from the bench

and the stands. After his children graduated, George left the area to pursue other interests,

living in Bullhead City, AZ and Waunakee, WI before moving back to the area to spend time

with his children and grandchildren. George lived life to the fullest and was always dreaming

up his next adventure. Being a grandpa was the greatest joy of this life.

George is survived by his children Steven (Katie) Voss, Callie (Jake) Crass, Courtney (Jesse)

Klingbeil all of Medford and David Parsons of La Jolla, CA; grandchildren Everett and Sam

Voss, Grady and Wyatt Crass, Taylor and Hudson Klingbeil and Carly Hesterberg; his siblings

Jim Voss, Susan Sprague, Marty (Karen) Voss, Kyle Voss, Jeff (Jan) Voss, Kim Voss, Nick (Julie)

Voss, Luanne (Greg) Fax, and Jon (Christine) Voss; stepmother Ali Voss; and friend Cassie

Wegner.
