I am so sorry to hear the passing of Franklin. He was such a sweet young man

Condolence from Luke Plant on May 17th, 2020 11:30 am

Franklin was the first kid that talked to me when I started to go to elementary school in 5th grade. We tried to sit by each other every single day that we could. He introduced me to a lot of people that I still talk to and am still friends with. We had sleepovers every single night that we could for years. He had an awesome birthday party every year that a lot of us looked forward to every time. Around high school, we went to separate schools and we didn’t talk as much as we used to. For his 16th birthday, we happened to be in the same store and he invited me to be with him even after almost a year with talking much. Franklin always laughed all the time. It was almost contagious. He really made everything fun and enjoyable. He always shared everything he had and it was obvious that he really cared about his friends.

To Franklin’s parents.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I will always remember Franklin fondly and have wonderful memories of many times spent with you all. He leaves behind a wonderful family and I know you will all be a great source of comfort and support to one another.

Condolence from GW on May 17th, 2020 11:40 am

I am so sorry. I won’t try expressing these feelings in words because there aren’t any. I’m hurting, as well as everyone else. We loved Franklin.

Condolence from Thomas & Carrie Simmons on May 17th, 2020 11:47 am

Franklin was a wonderful friend to our son, Luke. They enjoyed many sleepovers and just hanging out as they got older. We were always happy to have him over, and enjoyed the time we got to spend with him. He was always laughing and smiling. Words cannot express our heartfelt condolences. Our family is always here for you.

Condolence from Ryan Smith on May 17th, 2020 11:57 am

Me and Franklin were good friends. We fell off a little bit, but we still had each others backs. He was an amazing person and I’ve created many amazing memories of parties and hang outs. He never failed to make someone laugh or cheer someone up. What an absolute amazing person, and an amazing friend.

To Franklin’s parents:

This is rough, and it happened all of a sudden. And I’m deeply sorry. He was an amazing person and you are amazing parents. I hope for the best of recovery for you guys. Know that you aren’t alone in this pain.

Condolence from Olivia on May 17th, 2020 12:30 pm

As it pains me to lose my best friend I cannot imagine what you are going through. It’s hard under these circumstances and I’m deeply sorry. He sat with me at lunch when I had no one and he always made me laugh. He is truly one of the best humans on this planet and his spirt lives on! I shall never forget all the things he has done for me

Condolence from Jordan Parker on May 17th, 2020 2:49 pm

I haven’t known Franklin “Frank” very long but I met him through work because he picked my coworker up a lot. He was funny and a kind, helpful teenager and he never failed to make us laugh. I am extremely sorry for your loss of a young, talented soul. I promise he will never be forgotten and the memorial his friends and I made on the scene of the accident will attest to that.

Condolence from Heather Burson on May 17th, 2020 7:33 pm

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. My son, Seth, was a really close friend of Franklin. Seth said he would do anything for him and was always there for him to cheer him up. I know this is one of those things that you really never get over but I pray that your hurt and pain for the loss of Franklin eases over time and turns into joyful memories.

Condolence from Reese Powell on May 18th, 2020 6:56 am

I’m so sorry this has happened. In middle school, Franklin was one of the few people that I could trust, no matter what happened. He was always focused on making the people around him feel happy and cheerful. He had a positive impact on my life. He is very missed, not just to me, but to all of his family and friends. I’m praying for your family every day. rest in peace, Franklin.

Condolence from Leslie Gideon on May 18th, 2020 7:27 am

Praying for your family during this difficult time! May God Be with you and comfort you.

Condolence from Gwen on May 18th, 2020 9:34 pm

Frankie was such a sweet person… No matter who you were, he was always so welcoming to anyone who crossed his path. I met him my senior year of high school, and we automatically got along. He was so easy to talk to, and he always knew how to make others laugh. He was taken way too soon, and it hurts knowing he was taken away at such a young age. I know God is going to take care of you sweet boy. Rest In Peace?

Condolence from Tessa on May 19th, 2020 12:52 pm

Go Rest High On that Mountain my dear nephew! You will never be forgotten and your presence will always be felt around us!
