Born on June 8, 1946, in Pickens County, South Carolina, he was a son of the late Jim Frank and Fannie Renee Cox. Frank's journey through life was marked by an unwavering commitment to his loved ones and a passion for sharing joy with those around him. Frank dedicated over 35 years of his life working as an electrician for Walker and Whiteside Incorporated, where his expertise and dedication shone brightly. He was not just a committed worker; he was a mentor to many, always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh. A proud veteran, Frank served in the US Army during the Vietnam War for four years. His sense of duty and honor shaped his character and instilled in him the values of compassion and integrity. Following his service, he returned home, where he devoted himself to his family, becoming a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Frank was known for putting others before himself, often going out of his way to make sure those around him were happy. Known to many by the affectionate nickname “Crazy Bear,” Frank had an infectious sense of humor that could light up a room.

These passions brought him peace and fulfillment, allowing him to create countless memories with family and friends. He was a member of Corinth Baptist Church.
