With heavy hearts, we share the news that Frank D., a beloved Marsh Creek legend, passed away peacefully this morning, with his wife, Donna, by his side.
Frank loved life, loved people, and was always ready to lend a hand, whether helping with landscaping or sharing his love of pasta-making with Spoonbill Neighbors. He reminded us that it’s not about the price, but about making it with love.
A B-52 pilot, survivor of a heart attack at 42, accomplished bodybuilder, and proud Jaguar convertible driver, Frank lived life his own way. Humble and generous, he blended into the crowd but sparkled like a gem.
Frank was ready to face lung cancer with the same determination he brought to life, but sadly, infections complicated his treatment.
Marsh Creek won’t be the same without him, and those who knew him will miss his warmth, his helping hand, and the simple pleasure of having him around.
Frank, you touched many lives, and ours are better for having known you. Your memory will live on.
Frank and Donna were nearby neighbors, a wonderful couple. Frank was one of a kind. All of us will miss his great smile.
