Obituary

A GLIMPSE AT THE LIFE OF
George Michael Ellis
AFTERGLOW
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun;
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

George Michael Ellis was born March 22, 1980 to the parentage of
Betty Dixon and Clyde Standberry Sr. Michael grew up in Plano,
raised by his adopted mother, Dorothy Lee Ellis.

Michael attended Plano ISD and set out on his own soon after

While out making his mark on the world, Michael met the love of
his life Monica Clayton. They were married June 21, 2008. Michael
and Monica didn't have children of their own, but Michael had a
