George Emmerson Tubbs

September 18, 1942 - July 27, 2020

George Emmerson Tubbs , age 77, of Floyd, VA, lost his battle with cancer on Monday, July 27, 2020. George retired to his dream home in Floyd, VA after being a self employed painting contractor for 40 years in Miami FL. Nothing made him happier than sitting on his front porch taking in the beautiful views and entertaining friends with his gourmet cooking. Left behind to remember him is his loving wife, of 28 years, Faye Tubbs; His daughter and son-inlaw Kathleen Tubbs McKenna and David McKenna of Annapolis MD; grandson Spencer McKenna of Arlington, VA; granddaughter Megan Watson of Upper Marlboro, MD; and great grandson Jaxon McKenna of Sterling, VA; and his “daughter-in-heart” Sara Tate of Maryville, TN. Also surviving are is sister Charlotte Jerrell of Carrollton, GA; his brother John Tubbs of Edmonton, KY. No services will be held at this time, a “Celebration Of Life” will be planned for a later date.

My thoughts are with all of you and I just want you all to know that George meant a lot to me, he gave me so much life advise and was always willing to listen to my house and life problems and try to help me out. Whether it was questions about painting or changing the water filter in my house he was always there for me and I am so sorry for your loss. Love and Hugs
