On the morning of Thursday, February 11, 2021, Franklin "Frank" Thomas Wagner passed away at the age of 59.
Frank was born on April 12, 1961, in Fremont, California, to William "Billy" Wagner, and Ella Jackson. After graduating high school, he pursued a career in masonry and construction. Frank was a hard and dedicated worker. He loved working with his hands and poured his heart into each project. He fathered two biological daughters and two stepsons, whom he cherished with all his heart.
Frank had many passions, all centered around his family and friends. His hobbies included being outdoors, fishing, camping, and gathering around a bonfire surrounded by the ones he loved with a Pepsi in hand listening to good music. He spoiled his grandkids and enjoyed playing with them, riding bikes, swimming, skating, playing ball, and watching movies. He admired his dogs, Charlie, Gracie, and Bennie. Providing for others brought him great joy. If someone was in need, he was the first to lend a helping hand. He cared deeply for others and wanted to spread love and happiness to those around him. He was known for his exuberant personality and infectious laugh.
Frank was preceded in death by his father William Wagner and his mother Ella Maas (Jackson). He is survived by his daughters Nicole Wagner and Danielle Whitley, of Lincoln, Nebraska; his stepsons Andrew and Dustin; his siblings, Pat, Glenn and Cheryl; 20 grandkids, and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
