Today, we honor the memory of George Huddleston, Jr., a man whose passion for aviation soared far beyond the skies. An avid pilot, he generously shared his love for flying by volunteering for medical flights and inspiring others in his community to embrace the wonder of aviation. His steadfast service on the Murfreesboro Airport Commission and the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission reflected his deep commitment to making aviation accessible and meaningful for all. Above all, George was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and a pillar in his community. May his legacy continue to inspire us to reach new heights. He will be deeply missed.
