George Kenneth Brandalick

George was born February 12, 1943 in Youngstown, Ohio, to parents Adam and Kathryn Brandalick. He graduated from Fitch High School in Austintown, Ohio, in 1961 and went on to earn a bachelors degree in marketing and advertising from Youngstown State University in 1968, where he was also a published poet.

On August 29, 1970, he married his wife Frances Marie Cheff. Together, they raised four children: Dean, Christina, Nicole and Keith. Throughout his professional life, George worked for several companies in Ohio, including Stambaugh-Thompson Hardware, Strauss-Kaufman Department Store, the United Way and the Catholic Charities of Youngstown, Ohio. In 1986, George and his family moved from Ohio to Wimberley so he could take a job at Environmental Projection Systems - Pixel Magic in San Marcos. In 1999, George and Fran moved to Las Vegas, where George worked for Cashman Photography and met many celebrities. In 2010, George and Fran moved back to Texas and lived in Corpus Christi with their daughter Chris and son-in-law Eric. In 2019, George and Fran purchased their forever home in New Braunfels, where George worked for a short time at the Columbus Club before reluctantly retiring.

Some of his passions included photography, cars, racing, history, technology, physics and the way things mechanically worked. He could almost always be found behind a camera with a smile, especially at concerts, weddings, parties, baptisms or any events where his family and friends were. George and his family were very involved with the church, participating in weekly masses and volunteering when he could. He never met a stranger and would make friends everywhere he went.

Myers, Florida; children Dean Brandalick, Keith Brandalick, Nicole Hutchins and husband Jeff, all of New Braunfels and Christina Lehmann and husband Eric of Conroe; grandkids Devan, Jayden and Emmy Brandalick and Nolan and Ella Hutchins, all of New Braunfels, along with many other friends and family members.
