George was born to Rev. Vester Clinton Meeks
and Virginia Louise (nee Nunley) Meeks on May 11, 1948, in what was then known as Flat Branch, now called Tracy City, Tennessee located in Grundy County.
As a young man, George loved fast cars, buying, and rebuilding a 1957 Ford station wagon he named "brown chocolate".
At the age of 17, he entered the Army, serving multiple tours in Vietnam as a member of the 1st Calvary Division.
During his last duty station at Fort Hood, George fell in love with Texas and made Texas his home.
As George grew older, he remembered the things his parents taught him about Jesus.
He surrendered his life to Jesus and began to use his God given talents and his big personality to love people and love Jesus.
Rev. George C. Meeks wanted everyone to find forgiveness and salvation in Christianity.
He found forgiveness is offered and wanted everyone to know that they can be forgiven and changed and live as holy followers of the word of God.
His heart was that people would know Jesus.
He was an evangelist for many years, finally settling into pastoring at Silver Maple Chapel where he remained until he passed.
The church sign motto is Isaiah 40:31
"They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles"
George enjoyed playing music, drinking coffee, and making friends.
He was a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys, particularly who he called the "real" Dallas Cowboys of the 1970's.
He also loved to watch the Baylor Bears girls' basketball team.
He was happiest surrounded by people, laughing and telling stories.
He was a big presence with a big heart and touched many lives.
