Frank Kilian Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 21, 2022.

Frank John Kilian II, age 74, passed away at his home in Berlin, Md. on Saturday, November 19, 2022. Born in Baltimore, MD on January 16, 1948, he was the son of the late Frank Kilian and Eleanor Calder. In August 1973, he married Debbie, the love of his life, and together they raised two children Frankie and Wendy.


Frank was a hardworking man, with a long list of business ventures in Maryland and Florida. He was a generous man with a big heart and supported too many causes and charities to list.


Frank worked hard, but still knew how to enjoy life. He was an avid deep-sea fisherman and a member of the O.C. Marlin Club. He enjoyed golfing, watching football, and rolling the dice. He had a great sense of humor and always had a good joke to tell or a prank in the making. He loved his family, he loved his friends, and he was so loved.


He is survived by his wife Debbie Brooks Kilian, his son Frank J. Kilian III (Brooke), of Ocean City, MD, his daughter Wendy Dawson (Baker) of Pawleys Island, SC, and five grandchildren, Grayce, Cade, Kilian, Evelyn, and Adalyn and was lovingly called Poppy.


There are no formal services planned. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Coastal Hospice, P.O. Box 1733 Salisbury, MD 21804. Letters of condolence can be sent to the family via www.burbagefuneralhome.com. Arrangements are in the care of The Burbage Funeral Home.
