Se crió en Puerto Rico y a la edad de 12 años se mudó a Camden, NJ, donde continuó hasta graduarse como parte de la clase de 1991 de la escuela secundaria Camden High School. Era un hombre de muchos talentos, que era bueno con la pintura, amaba limpiar y podía prepararle una comida deliciosa. Era un hombre  bien conocido por sus actos de servicio y trabajo confiable. Ayudó en todo lo que pudo, ya sea limpiando, cocinando, cortando la grama o incluso detallando un automóvil. Siempre estuvo ahí para dar la mano, su confiansa y una oracion.

Jorge era amante de los deportes y siempre despertaba con su ESPN. Siempre dijo que su ídolo era Michael Jordan de los Chicago Bulls, pero nunca dejó de recordarle al mundo que su corazón pertenecía a su equipo de fútbol favorito, los Dallas Cowboys. Le encantaba la música de “freestyle” y reggaeton y es bien conocido por vender CD en todos lados, desde Camden hasta Phiiladelphia, a principios de la década de 2000.

 Jorge era un hombre temeroso de Dios que buscaba el camino correcto en la vida. A todos los que lo conocieron nunca dejó de saludarlos con un “Dios los bendiga”. Era un padre que trato de ser todo por sus hijos. Era un hijo amoroso, un hermano cariñoso, un tío considerado y un amigo devoto. Te amaremos y extranaremos siempre y lo recordaremos por todos sus virtudes
