George Albert "Jorge" Pettit left this world peacefully at home in Tucson on July 26, 2011 after spending a lifetime making the world a more peaceful place. Born September 7, 1954 in Libby, MT he was a graduate of Montana State and taught school on the Crow Reservation before moving to Tucson in 1986. Preceded in death by his mother Catherine (Roberts) and stepmother Helen (Caulkins), he is survived by his wife Debra (Bjorndahl); children, Catherine "Katie" and Lydia; father, Francis; and siblings, Betts, Joan, Joe, Margee, Julie, and Patty. George was an angel on Earth, always generously giving to others; first through the Casa Maria Catholic Worker House, where he lived and worked for 19 years (the "Soul of Casa Maria"), with PCIC, and then through public service with Tucson City Council member Karin Uhlich. George's lifelong selflessness made him a friend to all who knew him. And what a friend he was. He considered his greatest achievement to be his two daughters, Katie and Lydia, who, with his beloved and devoted wife Debbie, will carry on his legacy of love. His family wants to thank all of the doctors, nurses, and caretakers that gave us five years more than he could have had. You are miracle workers. We also send our love to all friends and family who have been by his side all of these years. If there are saints walking the Earth today, he was one of them. George lived his life caring for the least among us. So please, in lieu of flowers, give of yourself in some way to the service of others. When asked by his sister, Joan, in his final days if there was anything he needed her to finish, he whispered gently, "The Revolution." A Memorial Service will take place at St. Francis de Sales, 1375 S Camino Seco, Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. Arrangements by ADAIR FUNERAL HOME, Dodge Chapel.
