Frank Faltis Branham

Frank Faltis Branham, of McKinney, Texas, passed away on February 5, 2026, at the age of 62. He was a devoted father, proud grandfather, and cherished brother.

Frank was born on August 22, 1963, in Tempe, Arizona, to Frank Michael and Mary Rose (Faltis) Branham. He graduated from Tempe High School in 1981 and then attended Arizona State University. While obtaining a bachelor's degree in computer information systems, he worked in the ASU ticket office – a job he would remember fondly. He graduated from ASU in 1986 and embarked on a 30+ year career in IT that would take him from Detroit to Plano, Texas. A lifelong learner, Frank worked as a programmer and a project manager across many industries.

Staying active and eating healthy were important to Frank. He enjoyed fishing, walking outside in good weather, cooking, and keeping up with current events. His sister remembers that he was the first in the family to solve a Rubik's Cube. He was an active member of the local ASU alumni association and always kept up with Sun Devil athletics.

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, and his brother Terry Branham. He is survived by his daughter, Karen Natividad and husband Eli of Forney, Texas; his son, Paul Branham of Longview, Texas; his grandsons, Benjamin and Samuel; his sister, Sharon Day and husband Bill of Chandler, Arizona; his brother, Dennis Branham and wife Nannette of Gilbert, Arizona; and the mother of his children, Ro Branham of Plano, Texas. Frank is further survived by a host of extended family members, and dear friends.

Frank will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. He will be remembered for his kind heart, steady presence, and the love he shared with those closest to him. The family will hold a private gathering after cremation and plan to celebrate his life this summer.
