"George Robert Coulter, of Oklahoma City, passed away Sunday, November 10, 2019, at Mercy Hospital after a long illness. He was 68. George was preceded in death by his mother, Myrna Coulter (Hall), and father, Delbert Coulter. He attended Northwest Classen High School and graduated in 1970. He is survived by his loving wife, Deborah Maez Coulter, of the home, sister Lisa Bartholomew of Bonita Springs, FL, niece Erin Cox of Oklahoma City, many beloved cousins, and friends he considered family. George had many passions in life, but none so strong as music, activities shared with his wife Deborah, and their dogs. He also learned early in life a love for fishing, bestowed on him by his mom and dad. He got his first drum set as a preteen and began practicing every day after school until late at night, sometimes having to be told that it was time for bed and he was keeping everyone awake! He persisted, though, and became a first-rate drummer, and was sought after to play with many bands in the Oklahoma City area. His longest partnerships were with the Deep Fork River Band and Ole&#39; Country Boys, and he enjoyed playing locally and touring with them throughout the midwest. His love for music knew no bounds. It didn&#39;t matter what kind of music it was, he just loved music. He was proud to own the first Beatles album of all his friends, enjoyed country and western, and loved the blues, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn to name just two of the blues icons. His favorites spanned the spectrum all the way from Prince&#39;s &quot;&quot;Purple Rain&quot;&quot; to the Georgia Satellites &quot;&quot;Keep Your Hands to Yourself.&quot;&quot; He could discuss music with anyone, and usually knew more music trivia than anyone in the room. He was playing with Deep Fork in 1997 when he met his beautiful wife, Deborah, at a Chinese restaurant, and just like in a country song, strolled across the room, sat down in the booth across from her, and introduced himself. He asked her if she would like to come hear his band play, and reluctantly, she accepted. They were married 3 months later on April 18, 1997 in Oklahoma City. He sang to his new bride at their wedding. They spent 22 years raising their dogs and sharing their respective interests, as well as their abiding love, until his passing. George will be remembered for his infectious laugh, his passion for drums and all things musical, his spot-on impression of Donald Duck, and his ability to make anyone in his presence feel better, because he made them laugh. His eyes would sparkle. George will be sorely missed by his family and the myriad of friends that he knew throughout his entire life.
