Remembering George Hsu
We are heartbroken to share the passing of our dear friend, George Hsu, at the age of 60. George leaves behind his loving parents, his younger sister, his beloved niece, and a circle of friends who considered him a brother.
George had a tough exterior, a strong personality, and, yes, a temper at times. He might have looked a little “gangsta,” but those who knew him closely knew the truth: underneath it all was one of the sweetest, most thoughtful, and caring men you could meet. He showed his love through his actions—showing up, lending a hand, and putting the people he loved first.
Although George never married or had children of his own, his life was filled with family. His aging parents lived with him, and he devoted himself to caring for them, especially his mother. He loved his niece as though she were his own daughter and would do anything to make her happy. Being there for his family was at the heart of who he was.
Cars were another lifelong love. George spent much of his career in motorsports, including time with Dazz Motorsports, Robocar, Han Motoring and Buddyclub just to name a few. Cars weren’t simply his work—they were his passion, reflected in his enormous collection of toy and model cars. He also loved military machinery and classic Japanese robot anime, especially Mazinger Z. These interests were unmistakably George, and they gave us countless conversations and memories to treasure.
For more than 25 years, George shared a brotherhood with his close friends. As everyone’s lives grew busier with marriage, children, and responsibilities, he understood that getting together wasn’t always easy. He never wanted to impose, even when he missed his “brothers.” But he always made a point of keeping our monthly gatherings going. Sitting down together, catching up, sharing a meal, and laughing over old stories were among his happiest pleasures.
We will miss his presence at that table more than words can say.
We are raising funds to help George’s parents with his funeral and memorial arrangements, as well as the costs of moving back to Texas to be closer to family. After losing their son, who was also their daily source of care and support, they are facing both profound grief and a difficult transition.
Any contribution, large or small, will help ease that burden and allow them to focus on remembering George and taking their next steps. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page or leaving a favorite memory of George would also mean so much.
George spent his life showing up for the people he loved. Now, we hope to show up for the family he leaves behind.
Thank you for helping us honor our friend, our brother, and a man whose tough exterior could never hide his generous heart.
