A legend with love for family, faith & cheeseburgers

Orissa POST

April 16, 2025

George Foreman was remembered Monday in a memorial service in his hometown of Houston for his legendary boxing career as well as for his love for God, family, horses and cheeseburgers and for his desire to help his fellow man.

“He preached love all the time. That’s what this life is all about. It’s all about love and George was pure because George lived and believed what he preached,” said James Douglas, a longtime friend and former president of Texas Southern University in Houston.

During a nearly 1½ hour memorial service, Foreman’s family and friends recalled anecdotes about a man who was a two-time boxing heavyweight champion but who was also a pastor who delivered life affirming sermons at his church in northeast Houston and a savvy businessman best known for the George Foreman Grill.

Foreman even addressed the crowd posthumously at the Wortham Theater Centre, a performing arts centre that hosted the memorial, with audio messages recorded previously.

“Winning and losing can never assure a lasting smile. But saying to the face you see daily, I did my best, I can,” Foreman said on the recording.
