George Krushevsky was born October 3, 1927 on the family farm north of Belfield in Billings County, the son of Fred and Barbara (Jarowski) Krushevsky. He was raised and educated in the same area. He took over the farm and ran cattle and raised grains until his retirement in 1996. He remained on the farm until April of 2015 at which time he became a resident of the Richardton Health Center.

He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and St. Demetrius Ukrainian Church. He enjoyed playing Black Jack, liked to read, raising chickens, and especially all aspects of farming.
