Sep. 11, 1927 ~ Mar. 20, 2016
Kaysville, UT-Our kind, loving, and gentle husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, and brother Francis "W" (Frank) Robison passed into eternity on Sunday, March 20, 2016 at the age of 88 surrounded by his precious family.
Frank was born in Hinckley, UT the 7th of nine children on the 11th of September, 1927 to George Albert and Laura Barbara Walker Robison. As a young boy he loved the freedom of living on the farm. When he was 15 years of age his family moved to Salt Lake City where he attended and graduated from Irving Junior High, South High and the University of Utah.
Frank loved flying and at the young age of 15 had his pilot's license and owned his own airplane. He joined the Navy when he was 17 years old in the V-12 officers training program where he attended college in Berkeley, CA and Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA.
In 1946 he was called to serve an LDS mission in the Netherlands for two and a half years. He loved the Dutch people and his companions which he has kept in touch with over the past 69 years. On November 27, 1950, President Spencer W. Kimball married Frank to his sweetheart Beverly Crawforth in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity. Their life together has been full and happy. They were blessed with three beautiful children, Sydna, Douglas, and Kristin. Frank and Beverly traveled to many countries, and have enjoyed the beautiful sights of America. Frank served in many callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with love and dedication. He and Beverly were among the first to be called to serve in the Bountiful, Utah Temple which they enjoyed for many years. They were also blessed to serve two temple missions, one in the Washington, D.C. Temple and in the Temple Presidency in the Frankfurt Germany Temple. Frank loved sealing people together forever. He had a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, studying the scriptures daily. Family was the greatest blessing in his life, and the great love he has for all of them will extend forever.
Left behind for a short time is his wife, Beverly, his daughter, Sydna (Ken) Brown, his son, Douglas (Peach) Robison, and daughter, Kristin (Robert) Steed, and his 14 precious grandchildren and 18 beautiful great-grandchildren, with one more on the way.
