Frank Herniak Obituary
Frank Timothy "Tim" Herniak, 65, was surrounded by family as he went home on with the Lord Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022, following a brief illness, which he valiantly fought.
He was born Dec. 13, 1956, the son of Frank R. and Mary Lou (Adrianson) Herniak and lived in Elwood, Alexandria, and Summitville, Indiana. He was a graduate of Elwood Community High School (1975) and Vincennes University. He was an UAW member; his 44-year career at GM Fisher Body in Marion included Tool and Die and Quality Control, working in Blue Light.
Tim was an active member of Alexandria First Baptist Church, serving on the Board of Deacons, the Audio/Visual Team, and as an Usher. He was blessed with a loving wife of 35 years, Becky Jo (Kane). He enjoyed collecting, Disney, sports, and most of all, spending time with family – even grand-dogs and cats. A sweet guy and candy lover, Tim also was known for affectionately creating nicknames.
