Franklin Delano Beeman Jr. of Titusville FL 08/20/1959-07/26/2024

Frankie passed away peacefully on July 26th after a courageous battle with cancer. His determination and drive in his career made him the strongest son, dad, brother, uncle, papaw, cousin, and friend. As some know and others don’t, Frankie did not come from much. Although that might come across as unfortunate, those who love him know that his experiences made him resilient, fearless and admirable. It gave him the ability to show his heart through every action forward to be the best he could possibly be for himself, his family and friends.

Frankie was born in Maryland, and moved to Florida when he was a teenager. For most of his life, he worked in tree work. Starting at Davey Tree and then moving on to Asplundh Tree until his retirement. He was very well respected in his career, gaining the nickname, “The Legend” by his co-workers and friends who say there wasn’t a tree that Frankie couldn’t climb.

He enjoyed spending time with those closest to him. He loved old country music and honky-tonkin’. His favorite place to visit was Tennessee, where he liked to walk down music row, go to The Grand Ole Opry, and visit the bar, Tootsies. He enjoyed four wheeling, air boating and country concerts.

To know him was to know someone who was hard-working, loved his family and close friends and he was the person you could call and would be there if you needed help with anything. He was the king of dad jokes that would “put hair on your chest.” Which was one of his favorite punch lines. He will be missed by everyone who was lucky to know him.

Frankie leaves behind three children, Crystal, Shanon, and Jason. Eight grandchildren, Damion, Shelby, Jordon, Kendall, Caden, Scarlett, Crymson and Blayze. Three sisters, Kathy, Patty and Donna. Nieces and nephews, Aimee, James, Melissa, April, Chris, Robert, Rachel and Brandon. And much more extended family.

He is preceded in death by his grandmother, Leona, mother, Doris, Father, Frank Sr. and brother, Thomas Dean.

The family is holding a private celebration of life on Saturday August 10th to honor and remember the life and legacy Frankie left behind.
