Dr. George "Laddie" Stribling

Dr. George Stribling was born on Thursday, November 22, 1951, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Thomas and Martha Stribling.

George lived a full and meaningful life, touching the lives of countless people through his profession, friendship, and wonderful sense of humor. As a chiropractor, he devoted his career to helping others and making difference in people's lives.

George had an amazing sense of humor and a genuine love for people. He had a special gift for making others smile and bringing laughter wherever he went. He never seemed to miss an opportunity to brighten someone's day. His warmth, generosity of spirit and ability to connect with people made him a treasured friend to many.

An outdoorsman at heart, George loved camping, hiking, and fishing. He found happiness in the beauty of nature, and the adventures that came with exploring the outdoors.

George was always a gifted athlete with a deep love for rugby. He proudly played for the Albuquerque Aardvarks for more than 25 years. Rugby was more than a sport to George, it was a source of longtime friendships, camaraderie, teamwork, and unforgettable memories.

Above all, George loved his family. He shared his life with his beloved wife, Teresa, and was a proud father to his son, Levi, and daughter-in-law, Kerrie. His greatest joys included his two grandchildren, Bodhi and Prosper, who held a special place in his heart.

George leaves behind a legacy of laughter, friendship, kindness, and love. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, fellow rugby players, neighbors, and all the many people fortunate enough to have crossed his path.

The world is a little less bright without George in it. But for those who knew him, his laughter, his smile, his friendship, and his love for life will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace George. Thank you for the laughter, the friendship, and the countless smiles. You will be missed more than words can say.

Services will be held on George's Heavenly Birthday, Sunday, November 22, 2026 at 2:00 PM, at Mountain Christian Church, 12242 Hwy 14, Cedar Crest 87008.
