Frank M. Boone

Frank M. Boone, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on January 11, 2025, in Raytown, Missouri. He was born on February 8, 1950, in North Little Rock, Arkansas, to Charles E. Boone and Annie Opal Glover. Frank's life was one defined by dedication, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to helping those around him. 

For 36 years, Frank worked as a drywall hauler for Holmes Drywall, where his hard work earned him the respect of colleagues and clients alike. Frank’s talents extended beyond his career; he was exceptionally skilled with his hands, taking pride in fixing and restoring old cars, furniture, and building decks and porches. His knack for handiwork was matched only by his green thumb. He cultivated an amazing garden from which he harvested an abundance of vegetables, generously sharing his success with neighbors and friends who often turned to him for gardening advice.

Frank's love for the outdoors was evident in his frequent visits to the Lake of the Ozarks, where he found joy in fishing. His passions also included playing pool, and he showcased his talent in local tournaments, qualifying to compete in Las Vegas several times.

Having served honorably in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, Frank carried the values of service and commitment throughout his life. He was known for his warm personality and was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, earning the affection and appreciation of those who knew him.

Frank is survived by his daughter, Kristi Boone; son, Matt Boone; grandson, Quinton Boone; sisters, Linda Hamilton and Susie Johnson; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will remember him fondly. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Jackie Boone; father, Charles E. Boone; mother, Annie Opal Glover; and two brothers, Bill Boone and Charles "Chuck" Boone.
