Nettleton – George G. “Big G” Adams, 80, finished his earthly course and met his Savior face to face on Monday, September 6, 2021. Born on March 31, 1941, in Becker, MS, he was a son of the late James Thomas Adams and Minnie Mae Camp Adams.

A man with a big stature, “Big G” grew up in Monroe County in a large family with five other siblings. He attended Becker Schools and later served this great country by enlisting with the National Guard. A great man, he was a proud patriot and a great provider for his family. Big G worked hard and started off working on the upholstery line at Futorian Manufacturing Company. He worked his way up the ladder and eventually became General Manager, retiring after 27 years of service. He made many friends at work through the years and always gave back to others and his community.

He married the love of his life, Linda Riley Adams, on Christmas Eve, 1964, and they enjoyed over 56 years of marriage. They were blessed by God with four children. Big G was a protector of others, cared deeply about his faith and made sure his family had a great example of a servant for God. He was a long time member of Cason Baptist Church where he help lead the singing for several years. You could sense his love for God and he really enjoyed listening to Southern Gospel, especially The Gaithers. Big G loved his church and always was willing to lend a helping hand. He also served for many years as the Fire Chief for Cason Volunteer Fire Department.

In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Every Sunday, for the past 35 years, his family has gathered for lunch. These weekly meetings has kept his family’s bonds tight as they shared each other’s experiences from the week prior. All the conversations and advice given over these years will be cherished. Another favorite past time was hanging out with his hunting buddies, the members of the Nettleton Hunting Club. Anyone that knew him enjoyed his good company and Big G always kept things interesting as he was often clever and quick witted.
