I had the honor of knowing and serving with Msgt Hoyte in Ft Stewart GA. He was a great man, friend & soldier. We worked hard. laughed often & ate lots of great food together. He will forever be missed by all who knew him. I know he has joined God's soldiers & is watching over us all.

Hoytee was one of the elders amongst the fellas on Elizabeth st, in Cocoyea. Quiet, unassuming, focused and supportive. I always looked up to him and how he carried himself. Wore the tightest jeans and shortest shorts with his push toe drag slippers. I dont think I ever saw any opponent pass Hoytee on the football field. Either the Man or the ball passed, not both of them, was his mantra. I am truly at a loss especially since I only saw him once since we both migrated,it was at least 10 years ago, at a Saturday morning sweat on Naps grounds. We were both surprised to see each other, and shared a warm embrace. We enjoyed that morning. Played football, ate Johnny's pelau, had a few drinks and reminisced. I pray that his loved ones will be comforted and supported at this time. I remember one day he gave me a 20.00 bill completely out of now where. I felt like a millionaire. I asked him why, he just said, why not. A gentle giant, a gentleman and a scholar, your legacy will live on. We used to have some heated football games on Elizabeth st. Would be " Young Boys" vs "Old Boys, and Hoytee would give no quarter,,young boys getting hard tackles, he didn't care,saying, when you go to a real match, nobody would have mercy on you. In a strange twist of fate, I myself followed in his footsteps by playing ball for Pres and also working for Scotiabank. May you continue to Rest In Peace, my friend, neighbor and mentor.

Hoytie, George Hoyte, aka skull, was my friend and also my teammate on an illustrious championship division intercol football team at Presentation College San Fernando. Hoytie was a cool calm soldier who efficiently carried out his role as left back on the team. He was a cadet and I believe that discipline instilled also impacted his demeanor. I was not surprised when I heard he had joined the US Army.
Our team made the College proud in 1974, winning every trophy available except the National Intercol trophy, the only match we lost all season. We however made up for it in the following year, 1975, when we won that elusive National Intercol trophy for our College. (The next time the College won this trophy was 2019).
I am proud to have had him as a friend. Unfortunately our paths only crossed minimally after he migrated. I am glad that he lived a righteous and respectful life and that he made positive contributions to the lives of those he interacted with. I was shocked to hear of his passing but recognize that he has gone the route that we all must.
My condolences to his wife and family whom I have not had the honor to meet. Know that he is in a better place.
R.I.P George.

Hoy-T, aka Skull, high school classmate with whom I played soccer at the varsity level and worked, post high school, at Scotiabank, San Fernando. Your love for life, soccer, a good lime and those dark sunglasses will not be forgotten. Your selfless act of love is testimony to your being and a sober reminder of who we are called to be. George, may you rest in peace and rise in glory...

George and I entered Pres. together in September 1969. We both were in the A stream until 5th Form. In those days, Patrick Julien and Paul Masson were the 'live wires' in the class.
Our teachers told us, "The way of the transgressor is extremely difficult," and as when we reached Forn 4, we were reminded that, "Next year is the 5th Form."
We both loved football, and represented the class as defenders. We were even at times mistaken for each other.
George and I sat next to each other in Form 4 or 5. He was quiet and aggreable.
George follows Beville Downes, Gregory Gill and Denis Sumadh who have already passed from that class.
George and I separated in Form 6. He did MS and I did Sc. I always asked his sisterter Cheryl for him, and she promised that she would call me when next he visited. That was not to be.
I wonder if my classmates will remember when our class won the interclass competition in 1974? George, Patrick, Paul, Krishna, Waldron, Denis Sumadh, Daniel Bramble? and I were part of the team.
My friend, George, sorry we did not meet again in this life. It wasn't God's will.
May you Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.
To his family, Blessed are they who mourn, they shall be comforted.

I attended the University of Houston Central Campus with George. We played soccer together and much less often, ran together with my brother David and friend Gregory (also from Trinidad and now my brother in law), amongst others. I remember George to be a quiet, humble and good hearted person. From playing soccer with him, I could tell that he was a giving person, because he was never selfish with the ball. George was indeed a very good soul. I wish his family and friends all the best, including John, who I have run into a few times through music after being an undergraduate in school. Rise In Power George! As I write this, I am smelling what seems to be incense and a touch of frankincense, probably emanating from my neighbor's votive candles.

An amazing father even through difficult and trying times, there is no one in the world who has had as much patience as you had and understanding for people to live, learn, and to make mistakes. Your cool demeanor and calm reassurance will surely forever be missed with me. I am sad you are gone because there was more missions for you to pursue and achieve but i am at peace with the understanding you are gone and knowing you are relaxing and enjoying eternal peace. I will forever cherish the opportunities, knowledge, wisdom and experiences you gave me and my brother. Ill forever miss you
I love you

To celebrate the life of my dear ‘Cuz’ George Anthony Hoyte Jr. via this remembrance following on the many heartfelt outpourings of love, kindness and ‘Nuff Respect’ for this Lion King of the Realm, is akin to being called upon to gild the Anthurium. For this beloved son of the Trinidad & Tobago soil has definitely stolen the hearts and won the praises of all of us - friends and family alike - who tenant this planet we still call home, as he did until the 30.12.2020. Junior was my elder ‘Cuz’ (by 2 months) and the eldest son of the late Barbara Monica Hoyte (nee Smith) - younger sister of my dear departed mother Helena Marjorie Brathwaite (nee Smith), the first-born of Mary and Joseph Smith (both deceased), whose eight progenies also included our uncles Algernon (Canada), Randolph (Trinidad), Anthony (Texas), and aunts Joyce (Florida), Lenore (Texas), and Jacqueline (UK). Admittedly, December 2020 has been an emotionally challenging month for the Smith family, for not only did we (with relatives and friends world-wide) commemorate the 10th anniversary of my Mom’s transition on 20.12.2020, but we also said our final goodbye to Uncle Randolph (‘Rannie’) on 14.12.2020. There is an old African school of thought that at birth each living being received a ticket to the event of death and is now like a Butterfly on an earthly maiden voyage. So whatever our struggles, safeguards or precautions, the rendezvous with the Universal Creator has to be reached someday. Call it synchronicity or what you will, Junior (always the genial, cool and composed ‘Strategist’) seemed to have also negotiated his divine appointment with Aunty Barbara, his beloved Mom, who just happened to have made her earlier transition on 30.12.1984. On behalf on my loving wife Dawn and daughters Tesha-Dawn and Alyssa in the UK, I send our sincere and deepest condolences to Junior’s devoted wife Edith, his children Michael and Christopher, his grandchildren (hoping to meet each of you one day) and his siblings/my cherished cousins: Cheryl-Anne, John and Lyndon and their respective families. Junior was my kindred spirit during our early childhood days in Pleasantville, Trinidad and he will be sadly missed, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

My condolences to the family.

I attended Presentation College with George and we shared the same class for 2 years in Form 6 Modern Studies.
George was a quiet conservative student with a ready smile and a very affable personality. He was Mr Cool on the college football team, a strong defender with a well educated left foot. He was an excellent team player and would give his all to help the team.
We were not in touch after he migrated but I am sure his personality would have remained similar and he would have been a pillar of strength to his family and friends.
My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to his family. May he Rest In Peace to rise in eternal Glory. God Bless

George Anthony "Junior "Hoyte was my first born nephew and I am his youngest auntie, sister to his (decreased)mother Barbara Monica Smith -Hoyte. I paid an integral part in his life. From birth to 5 years of age when he spend long periods at times at his (deceased) grand parents home (my home)in Pleasant Ville Terrace ,San Fernando. Which he shared with his younger siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles.
One of the things we enjoyed doing was on saturday's mornings we attended the
10A.M matinee at the cenimas.I was like a second mother/babysitter until I left
Trinidad and Tobago in 1969.
As he was growing up I saw George developing good intentions to be a role model. He was hopeful, good natured had a positive attitude to life, nonmaterialistic,but was very reserved. After being successful in attending San F'do Presentation college he migrated to USA to advanced his career.
We reunited in the1990's in Houston by his auntie Lenore (my sister).He made me proud to see him in his military uniform. George accomplished his goal by serving in
the military and caring for his family. He will be missed. We are praying for his wife
and family. May he rest in peace

A childhood friend and mentor he was definitely one of the guys I grew up with and looked up too he will remain in my prayers ??
~ Anson Barrow - January 10, 2021
Firstly, I must say that I am still in disbelief that my great friend who wss like a brother is no longer here with us. I have known George as a kid growing up on Elizabeth Street in Cocoyea. We did a lot of things together as boys in the neighbourhood. However most of the time was playing football(soccer) on the road in front of his house. I believe I may have been influencial in him playing football for Presentation College and Telco Football team, where he excelled as a valuable player on our team and later Pillars FC. He was always straight forward and direct in dealing with matters that confronted him. Indelible moments are all that I have of this brother. So to all of his family, relatives and friend please accept my deepist sympathy and let the strength and divine favor of the Most High engolf you at this time. Be blessed and stay strong

George Anthony Hoyte "Junior" was my nephew. Born 1958 It made me proud becoming an Aunty. I enjoyed the short space of time spent with him and the rest of the other nieces and nephews at home. I immigrated to the UK in 1964 but kept in touch with my sister Barbara Monica of his progress. He was the first to go to college and was successful. Not only that, but he too immigrated to the USA, attended university and did well. He was followed by his brothers. He was a role model for the family. He joined the US military, got married to Edie, became a father, and then a grandfather. My first nephew you have done well. Thank the Lord, for allowing us to share the life of George. Condolences from Joyce Monica Smith Stanley and Garry.
May he RIP
~ garry Stanley - January 9, 2021

Rest In Peace George Jr from your uncle Anthony Smith and his family, Malvery, Stacie, Suzette and Linell. You fought the good fight...... now Rest In Peace
~ Malvery Smith - January 9, 2021
Sending up prays for his wife, children, brothers, sister, aunts, uncles, family near and far as we go through this period of loss. He was always willing to help where needed. He gave us eye opening advise, he wasn't afraid to tell you what you should expect from his own experiences.
Whenever he and family came to Houston, he made it a point to stop by even if they were on their way out.
Love you and miss hearing you and Lyndon chatting and laughing over the phone from the next room.
Praying for God's continued blessing on the family.

To George's family,
Please accept my condolences and prayers for comfort during this time.
I knew George last on by virtue of my friendship and being a classmate of younger brother John, at Texas Southern University. Quiet, cool, and collected I remember him as.
The observed respect, comradery, and friendship shared among the brothers; George, John, and Linden, was quite admirable.
To read of his service in the US Military is no surprise for his chosen pathway. God, country, and family. May God bless his lineage as they continue and further fulfill his legacy.

My condolences to Mr. George Hoyte's family for you loss. I'd like to share this memory with you. I remember one day we all linked up at one of the local sports bar for a farewell for one of the staff. I mentioned it to him because was part of our team. Didn't think he'd show (since it was Mr. Hoyte, a private man) and in walks in Mr. Hoyte and his grandson. It was a pleasant and heartwarming sight to see. May you rest in peace sir. I appreciate all your advice and talks about life's hard knocks.
~ Gerardo Quijano - January 8, 2021
George Hoyte, I thank God for placing you in my life. You were a mentor and friend to me. The epitome of an NCO. You were the consummate professional and you worked so hard to take care of soldiers. I recall how proudly you showed me videos of MJ playing the piano. Family was everything to you. To Mrs Hoyte, I pray God comforts you in this time of bereavement. Take your rest, George. You have earned it. Thank you for being my friend. I will miss you and your funny jokes. Love Always, SSG Carter
~ Demetrice Carter - January 8, 2021
Edie, my heart is broken for you, MJ, Michael and CJ. I am so sorry for your loss of George. Even though I never met him, I feel like I knew him through my conversations with you. It was obvious you loved each other dearly, and that he was devoted to you. He is at rest now, but may you one day be reunited with him in paradise.
