George Eugene Frand Jr.
George Eugene Frand Jr. passed away at his home in San Manuel on March 4, 2019. He was born April 14, 1960 in Hibbing, MN, and was 58 at the time of his death.
George worked for many years as a groundskeeper at the Hibbing Park in Minnesota before retiring for health reasons to San Manuel.
He had lots of hobbies, mostly centered around collecting especially Dale Earnhart Sr. memorabilia. He loved to go to yard sales – if there was a yard sale or garage sale, he’d be there, always looking to add to one or more of his collections.
He is preceded in death by his father, George Eugene Frand Sr.
Left behind in loving memory are his wife, Frances of San Manuel; children, Rachel, Ashlee and Troy, all of Minnesota, and April of Florida; mother and stepfather, Gloria and John Kotyk of Minnesota; stepchildren, John Kubat of Tucson, Paul Kubat of Arkansas and Christal Saunders of San Manuel; sister, Gina Englestead of Minnesota; 9 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
Memorial services will be held Saturday, March 23, at 11 a.m. at Living Word Chapel in Oracle.
