The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson, 30 October 2011
Denard A. Brandt passed away peacefully October 22, 2011 in Tucson, Arizona. He was born in New Bern, NC on September 16, 1922. He attended Roskruge Junior High and graduated from Tucson High School in 1939. He became an assemblyman at an airplane factory in Burbank, CA during WWII and married Grace V. Heltman. Two years later, he joined the Merchant Marine and was a machinist on the Dalles, a tanker.
He ranched briefly in Aravaipa Canyon and then later became employed with Kennecott Copper Corporation in Hayden, AZ. While at Kennecott, he was awarded a patent for a machine part for the mining process. He was eventually promoted from Maintenance Supervisor to Planner.
Meanwhile, three children were added to the family: Denard A. Brandt II, Clarine (Haslag) and Ellen (Parkhurst). In 1973, Denard and Grace divorced. In 1974, he married widow Louise Burnam. They moved to Salt Lake City where he worked for National Lead Company in their maintenance department for many years. After a brief retirement, Denard became an independent consultant for several years.
Denard is predeceased by his first wife, Grace Brandt Hosea and his second wife, Louise Burnam Brandt.
He is survived by his immediate family: Denard A. Brandt II (Roxana), Clarine Haslag (Tom) and Ellen Parkhurst (David) and grandchildren, Bill and Matt Haslag, Naomi Passarelli and great-grandchild, Joseph Passarelli. He is also survived by stepchildren, Ron (Judy) Burnam, Lynette Phipps, Cathy Tepper and Carol Burnam and their children, Angie, Heather, Tiffany, and Nick, Aislon, Lauren Tepper, Tracy and Marty Jo; several great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
We will miss a great storyteller, analytical and creative mind, and loving father.
