Stanley Kendel KB Brazzeal
K.B. was born in Sept 1,1946 in Monroe, Louisiana and passed away July 24,2020 at University of Cincinnati Hospital surrounded by loved ones . Kendel graduated from Tylertown High School and Southwest Mississippi College. K.B. traveled all over the world working in Turkey, Germany, Greece, Bahamas, Switzerland, and New York City. He then came to Fairfield in 1997 on a job and never left.
He loved fishing at the cabin in Canada and playing golf with friends, especially at Indian Ridge. He also loved cooking, BBQing, playing darts, Keno and hanging with his many friends. He volunteered to help his MOPH friends to organize the charity golf outing each year. K.B. was the ultimate LSU fan, he read Dandy Don on the computer everytime he posted anything about LSU sports, especially Football- Geaux Tigers! At least he’s taking home a National Championship!
K.B. never met a stranger. You could literally talk to him about anything, but most of the time you’d end up talking about food. If one of the granddaughters had a friend without a grandparent on grandparent day, he would include them. He lit up a room and left a smile on everyone’s face.
He was also a good travel companion- going to Europe, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, New Orleans, Michigan, New York City, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, and the Keys with Julie and friends.
Son to Betty Lee (Kennedy) and Elton Brazzeal who preceded him in death along with his oldest son, Daniel Wayne Brazzeal. He is survived by his partner of 23 years, Julie Staudt, of Fairfield, son, Chuck Brazzeal, of Aurora, Indiana, daughter, Bridget (Tim) Leifling of Aurora, Indiana, step-daughter Rachel Staudt Gould, of Ross, step-son, Nathan Staudt, of Ross, a brother, Gene ( Fanny) Brazzeal of Shreveport, Louisiana, brothers-in-law, Jim (Sandy) Heiser of Hamilton, and Steve (Kim Miller) Heiser of West Chester, sister-in-law, Becky ( Kim) Webb of Lebanon, grandchildren, Lucas(Inga) Brazzeal of Germany, Elle Brazzeal and Emma Brazzeal of Arkansas, Kyndall Leifling and Kaylenn Leifling of Indiana, and Millie Staudt of Fairfield, and great-grandchild, Adrian Brazzeal of Arkansas.
