From our Executive Director, Stacie Anderson:
Today I had the privilege of meeting George Foreman`s family. Within seconds, I could feel the love and the legacy that lives on in their hearts. Today wasn`t about George as a heavyweight boxing champion, but about the man who instilled character and integrity into his family`s legacy, who encouraged everyone to love more. This family, and the world, lost a great man last year. It was his wish to be eternally laid to rest in the Loess Hills, and so, the family quietly honored that request burying him at Logan Park Cemetery on April 17, 2025.
Now, one year later, his family has unveiled a striking monument overlooking the Loess Hills, sharing their gratitude with the Siouxland community and reflecting on a life defined by faith, purpose, and resilience. A documentary sharing more about his connection to Iowa and this final chapter is currently in the works and will be released soon on exploresiouxland.com.
