George E. Dent, 67, of Charleston, South Carolina, husband of Helen Reynolds Dent, entered into eternal rest Wednesday, January 15, 2025. His Memorial Service will be held February 1st, 2025 in the Redeemer Lutheran Church, 714 Riverdale Drive at 2pm. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. West Ashley Chapel.

George was born June 10, 1957 in Charleston, South Carolina, son of the late H. George Dent and Rose Marie (Doll) Mixson Dent.

George, affectionately know as “Georgie” to most, graduated from James Island High School in 1975 and attended Palmer Technical College. He worked most of his career at his family’s business, Southern Dredging, from where he had recently retired.

Georgie’s natural talents and skills were remarkable. Essentially, there was nothing he couldn’t fix or salvage, from engines, motors, or discarded weed eaters and lawn mowers, odds were good he’d make them work again. He was an avid outdoorsman and most weekends throughout his life, he could be found in the woods along side his brothers, hunting deer or whatever might be in season. Fishing was no different, fresh water or salt water, he loved catching fish and was especially known to catch quite a few big sharks over the years.

Georgie’s musical ability was what many will remember him by. He loved music from a young age and mastered several instruments including trumpet, piano, drums and of course, his guitar. He had a beautiful voice and was always willing to serenade and entertain friends and family alike.

Georgie’s kind and caring spirit was apparent to those who knew him. He will be sorely missed by family and friends

In addition to his wife Helen, he is survived by his sons: Bradford Dent and Christopher Dent, sisters: Donna Jones (Randy,) Virginia Fogle (Alan) and brother; David I. Dent; father in law, Jesse Reynolds Jr.; sisters in law: Carol Cannon and Kathy Baxley, (Todd,) brother in law; Jesse Reynolds (Dina) and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.

 He was preceded in death by his parents, his mother in law; Dolores Condon Reynolds, sister in law; Patty Dent and his beloved brother, Don Wayne Dent.
