George was born November 28, 1926 in Billings to George & Minnie Feisthamel. He had two sisters, Anna Mae and Marget, and a brother, Joey.
He joined the Navy on March 1, 1944 and served in World War II. He was so excited when his granddaughter Natasha got him on the honor flight to Washington D.C. This was a trip of a life time for him.
He had a great talent when it came to woodworking. He made a lot of furniture and did great personal touches in many homes. George loved fishing, hunting and 4-wheeling with his son Randy. He had tears in his eyes when Randy shot a prize elk with the gun George gave him.

May your family and friends find comfort in God’s promise to “swallow up death forever… and wipe away the tears from all faces” (Isaiah 25:8). Along with the promise of a time soon when “death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4. Remember the hope of “a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous” (Acts 24:15). My sincere condolences to your family.
The Brattin family says
George was so many things to the Brattin family for nearly 32 years that they are too numerous to mention, but friend, mentor, helper, and listener would be at the top of that list. Our treasured friend is with the Lord and for that we give thanks. Our prayers are with all of the family in this time of great loss.
