We pause to pay tribute to the life and celebrate the homegoing of Dr. Anthony M. Georges, the third of six children, Peter, Godfrey, the late Abraham, Apostle Alvin, and Phyllis, born to the union of The Late Assoumany and Ruth Georges on February 1, 1947, in Brooklyn, New York, and departed this Life peacefully on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at Grace Manor in Savannah, Georgia.
Anthony, affectionately called Tony, began his formative education in Brooklyn at Our Lady of Victory Catholic School in 1952. While attending the school, Tony served as an Altar Boy in the Tridentine Traditional Catholic Mass, which required knowledge of Latin and excellent behavior. In 1960, Tony attended Boys High School in Brooklyn. After graduation, in 1965, he enlisted in the United States Army and served for three years as a Quarter Master Sergeant in the Vietnam War.
Tony Quest’s goal was to pursue further education, so upon completing his service in the United States Army in 1968, he attended Alfred University in New York, where he received his Associate Degree. Then in 1971, he pursued his Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and then later pursued a Master’s Degree of Business in Finance, both from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York. Tony became employed at the New York Stock Exchange as a Floor Trader.
While working in finance, he met Genevieve Watson. They were married and resided in New Rochelle, NY. From this union was born one daughter, Kamilah.
Then, not feeling quite complete, he went on to receive his Master’s in Education at Fordham University in the Bronx, New York. He became a teacher in the public school and Catholic school system, and later became an Assistant Principal at All Saints School in New York City. He later became the principal and received his Doctorate in Education from Nova Southeastern University. Tony retired and decided to move to Georgia to be near his daughter, Kamilah.
Tony leaves to mourn his daughter, Kamilah, his son-in-law, Nkemjika Mac Godwin, his grandson, Nkenna Anthony Godwin, his daughter, Nailah Watson, his grandson, Noah Rodriguez-Watson, his grandson, Owen Rodriguez-Watson, his granddaughter, Jara Rodriguez-Watson, his siblings, Peter, and Godfrey Georges. Sister-in-Law Barbara Georges and Annette Georges, Nieces, Grace Fatima Georges, Sophia Georges, Ivanna Georges, Cherise Georges-Davis, and his Nephews, Christopher, Alvin, Jeremy, Celestine, and Remer Georges, as well as other Family members and his lifetime friend, Ms. Dorothy Swanson, along with a host of other friends.

I’m deeply saddened to hear about Uncle Tony’s passing. My heart is with you Kamilah , and the entire family during this difficult time. He was so much more than my uncle — he was truly my dad’s best friend and brother. There wasn’t a day, week, or month that went by without them talking, laughing, sharing wisdom, or simply being there for one another. Their bond was something special to witness.
I’ll always remember his big smile, his sharp bow ties, and the way he so freely shared advice and laughter. He carried such warmth and presence, and he will be deeply missed.
Please know that we are keeping you all in our prayers and holding close the beautiful memories of a man who meant so much to so many. His love, wisdom, and legacy will always be remembered. Love you cousin❤️🥰

To The Family,
Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences. Truly the loss of a precious loved one is most difficult. Please find comfort in the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4″And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning; nor outcry; nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Yes, We can look forward to a time soon to come when all suffering including death will be done away with forever.
