George was born in Houston, Texas on July 6, 1949 to George Nicholas and Betty Jane (Prescott) Milatovich. He worked in the oilfield for over 30 years, which at one point led him to Wyoming where he lived and worked for five years. He loved hunting and spending time outdoors, enjoying the cold weather up north. He later retired to Navasota so he could be closer to the family and friends he loved dearly. He enjoyed his retired life, going to breakfast every morning with his brother, Gaylon and the new friends he met. One of his hobbies was collecting firearms and he spent a great deal of time at Circle Star Firearms, visiting and discussing their newest inventory.
