George Dwayne DeLacerda passed peacefully December 27, 2022. George was born December 16, 1953, to Curtis DeLacerda and Jimmie Sue Nolley DeLacerda in Natchitoches, Louisiana. George was a graduate of Jonesboro-Hodge Highschool in Jonesboro, Louisiana. He then moved to Dallas, Texas and attended United Electronics, graduating as Valedictorian.

He began his professional career as instructor and Vice-President of Video Technical Institute, at which time he met and married Marcasue Mills DeLacerda of Denton, Texas.

George enjoyed an over 40-year journey in Broadcast Engineering with KTXA (Channel 21), notably overseeing the transition of transmitters from Arlington to Dallas for the construction of Rangers Ballpark. He also worked as a Site Manager for Richland Towers for transmitter tower farms, as well as RIO Steel overseeing projects and technical drawings as CAD Manager.

George and Marcasue had a beautiful marriage of 49 years and have one son, Robert DeLacerda.

Seeing Robert from Tiger Cub to Eagle Scout, attending district and council meetings, achieving Vigil in the Mikanakawa 101 Lodge for Order of the Arrow, a Silver Beaver Award, Wisdom Trail District Manager, Instructor and Coordinator for Shooting Sports, and multiple Wood Badge courses were some of his proudest moments.
