Franklin I. Boone

Frank, We miss you more than we could ever imagine possible. We love you and you will live in our hearts forever. Until we meet again.

To the Boone family and everyone else whose heart is aching at this loss. There was always a big glinting Sebastian sunrise on that boy's shoulder and I don't know anyone who had such an effortless, immediate and yet lasting impact on everyone he met. I am grateful for the smiles he shared with us MIT nerds. My prayers, tears, worries and wishes are with the beautiful young woman who made him so happy with himself and with his sons, who have been robbed of their beautiful daddy. So sorry for your loss Kelly, can't even imagine.

May you know that others care about and are sorry for your loss of Franklin.

We are changing Nana's famous minestrone soup to read "Frankie's Favorite Ever Soup Recipe"

For all who knew and loved Franklin as we did, you will remember that Franklin had a monster appetite. It would not be unusual for Franklin to polish off five or more bowls of Nana's minestrone soup always proclaiming that this was his very favorite.

As a matter of fact, Franklin's "favorite meal" always turned out to be his most recent one. It became a "Franklin Boone Thing".

I never met anyone I would rather cook for than Frankline Boone.

Franklin, you were always a joy to have around, easy to like, and fun to cook for.

No words....just a prayer!

To the Boone Family- Our deepest sympathy to you for your loss. We are praying for you all.
Sincerely, Joey and Kristin Zaleuke Westberg

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Frank was a wonderful person who everyone loved...he will be missed by so many. Most of all to his family, Kelly, and children please hold tight to your faith that you will see Frank again one day. He is a guardian angel for all of us. God bless all of you.

My sincere condolences to the Boone family and friends. I knew Frank casually from the youth program at Christ By the Sea UMC in Vero Beach. I remember him as a fun loving and caring individual. He truly enjoyed life. I understand much of what you're going through, as I lost my mother in an auto accident a few years ago. It is something you'll never forget, but I can promise you that the sting and pain you feel now will become easier to bear as time goes on. All those loving memories of Frank will allow you to laugh once again and will keep him alive in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him, including his unborn child. May God's blessing and comfort be with each of you through this terrible time in your lives.

To the Boone and Hefferan Familiy,
We are saddened by this tragic loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
The Ryan Family
Mike, Lisa (O'Brien), Kilian, and Taylor

To the Boone and Hefferan Families,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time.
Tom,Sue,Brian,Craig and Kevin

Frankie, I had not seen you in many years, but I know that you continued to share your great outlook on life with everyone you met! Your wonderful smile and beautiful heart will be truly missed.
To all the Boones- You are each in my thoughts and in my heart. Much love!

Karen and Family,
My deepest sympathy to all on your tragic loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Frankie, I only met you once a couple years ago, but it was easy to see what a fun-loving person you were. I thank you for being such a good friend to my brother, Kurt. I know he will miss you tremendously. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless all of you.

I have missed you over the years and often wondered where you were. I remember Sunday afternoons when you and Danielle would come over and play with Chelsea and Colby. Frankie you were always just a big kid. I miss those days. Then to find out that we were at the same wedding and I didn't relize it was you breaks my heart. From talking to friends it sounds like you grew up to be the same loving and kind soul that you were when you were a teenager.
To the Boone Family - my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Words cannot express our feelings for your loss. So will share this poem: I wish I could wipe away every trace ~ Of pain and suffering from your face ~ But He is great and we are small ~ We just can't alter His will at all ~ And none of us would want to try ~ For more and more, as days go by, ~ We know His plan for us is best ~ And He will give us peace and rest ~ And earthly pain is never too much ~ If He has bestowed His merciful touch ~ And if you look to Him and pray ~ He will help you through every day.~~~ Our Prayers, Love and Thoughts are with YOU AND ALL THE FAMILY. Syd and Aldine

Frankie you were such a wonderful, kind, fun spirited gentle man. I loved you and Meg both the very first time I met you. I can still see you on the back of Peter's Boat smiling away on the boogey board, you had such an amazing smile and it seems like it was yesterday. I have alot of good memories to hold onto that I am so truly grateful for, you will be missed by so many people who love you so very much. My heart and prayers go out to Karen, Nick,Courtney please lean on each other and may God bring peace to your during this time and May God Bless Frankie's Wife Kelly and children. Sending all my love from Worcester, MA.

Bob, Brenda, and Family,
There really are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss. I just wanted you to know that you all are in my thoughts and my prayers during this difficult time.

There are sooo many memories that involved Frank Boone in my life. From 4th grade up to just a few months ago. I want to share just one...I remember way back at Pelican Island Elem. our entire 5th grade class had a recycling contest. The winning class was to win a pizza party. Well, our class was way behind until Frankie and his dad brought in about a gizilion cans in large plastic bags. Thanks to the Boone's and their undying love for soda...Frankie and I spent about two hours crushing cans out the the parent pick-up loop to make the contest deadline. To make a long story short...we won! Ms. Shepard's class had won the pizza party thanks to Frankie!

I wanted to share this short story because Frankie was our hero that day, just like he has been a hero in one small way or another for every single one of us. My love and prayers go out to his wife, children, family, and friends he leaves behind. He made an impression on us all and never will be forgotten.

Karen & Tim
My heart goes out to the family. I have met Frankie & Courtney in Gatlinburg along with Kelly. They are the most fun loving people anyone could ever meet. The mother & step father of Frankie and I our best of friends so this means I too have lost someone very dear to my heart. I wish that I could be there. You will always be in our prayers. Love You Mean It!!

As I look back on my twenty-seven years of teaching, there are a few young people who leave indelible marks on my heart - Franklin Ivan (as he ALWAYS wrote on his work) is one of those very special people. I'll never forget his beautiful smile, his quiet spirit, and his "charming" ways. We made many a good memory during those three years in the ESA - I reflect fondly on the trips, the packets, the activities, and the laughter we all shared with Frankie. Thank you, Franklin Ivan, for adding joy to my days. You will be missed but remembered fondly forever.
To the Boone family - please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace.

Mrs. Lunsford

KAREN, I AM SO SORRY ABOUT FRANK’S UNTIMELY DEATH. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN. I UNDERSTAND THAT FRANK AND HIS WIFE HAD JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE EXSPECTING ANOTHER BABY JUST BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. GOD TRULY MOVES IN MISTERIOUS WAYS. SOME MIGHT THINK OF THE BABY AS A HARDSHIP FOR HIS WIDOW BUT I SEE IT AS A BLESSING, A COMFORT FOR HER AND YOU. WHAT A BLESSING TOO, FOR YOU AND TIM TO HAVE MOVED THERE FLORIDA, I MEAN. KAREN PLEASE HAVE FAITH THAT GOD WILL SEE ALL OF YOU THROUGH THIS TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY. AGAIN I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

AUNT CAROLYN

Karen and Tim,
We are terribly sorry that you have had to endure such a tragic loss. We never know why young people are taken from this world, but be confident in knowing that it was for a reason and that God had bigger plans for Frank and your family. We wish that we could be in Florida to comfort you, but for now will have to send our prayers from Kentucky. We love you very much!

I remember when Tommy, (my brother) and Frank spent time together when they were young. He was always kind and considerate then and remained that way all of his life. I hope that knowing how many of us have such genuinely fond memories of him, will somehow comfort his family and friends.

With sincere sympathy,

Amber DeBerry

Our most heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Franks' family and friends. It seems a short time ago when he and Tommy and their mutual friends were little boys with big ideas. Then teenagers with even bigger ideas. Then they all became men and took on all the responsibilities that entails, and reaped the rewards as well. The time Frank had was far too short, but by the way he lived we can be assured that he has found his place in heaven.

With deepest sympathy,

Tom and Gwenda DeBerry

Frankie, We will miss you. But know you have left your mark on this world. Franklin Ivan Boone will never be forgotten. He is present in your son, who is the image of you. You will be present in your unborn child, and you will be forever present in our hearts. We love you, Auntie Toni and Uncle Jim.

Where to begin - met Frankie or "Ivan" from my niece Meghan - he was welcomed into our family and we loved him dearly - he was a part of our lives and although we didn't see him much - he will be truly missed. My deepest sympathy to all of you and to his new family I wish you strength - lean on those around you - they will help you get through.

Bob, Brenda and Family,

and your family.
We so much enjoyed our
time that you spent
at our home and meeting

Frank is a kind hearted,

always have a special

Bob & Brenda & Family,

No words can express our deepest
sympathy to you and your family.
We will never forget our summer
that we spent with you and your
family at David and Pams house,
with our Jim & Gretchen.

Frank was an amazing person who brought a smile to everyone face. I never imagined that introducing Kelly and Frank would have leaded them down the road that it did. From the moment they met they were in separable. Frank and Mike came over to hang out that night and Frank never left. In the 21 years that Kelly and I have been Best Friends I have never seen her Happier than she was with Frank and I know he will remain with her always. "Things always happen for a reason" I know that right now that makes no sense to anyone. However, in time we will all realize why God chose to take Frank from us. God has as plan for all of us as he does for Frank. He allowed Frank to meet Kelly and give her Ivan and (TBA) for a reason. My deepest condolences go out to the Boone Family and all of Franks Amazing Friends. You are in my Thoughts and Prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with Franks family. He was a very special person! God bless.

Hey Bob and Brenda: I am at a lost for words. My family would like to express our deepest sympathy. I can only picture little frankie on the top of my motorcycle gas tank cruising down the road with an over size helmet on. He had a smile from ear to ear that day. He was to young to hold on so we put him on the gas tank and told him to hold on to the handle bars. I can remember the time we had you all over at our house and went fishing in the pond in our back yard in New York. It just wasn't his time and we feel alot of sorrow. May God and his angels bless all of you...

Frank-I will never forget the last time I saw you and the smile you brought upon my face. You always had a way to make a person smile. I will miss you buddy. See you in Heaven. To the Boone family my thoughts and prayers are with you.

You will be missed Frank!
Kelly - Our thoughts are with you all the time. Your loss is a great one and we really feel for you & your family!

Seldom in life are we lucky enough to know people like Frank. His genuine persona & positive outlook assure me that he had a great life. My heart goes out to his family and the many people who love him.

As every day passes, I miss you more and more Franklin. You left footprints on my heart that will never be removed and you made me a better person just by simply knowing you. I love you my friend.....rest in peace.

To the Boone Family, I love each and every one of you and I am here for you and will continue to be for you everyday of my life.

To Kelly, as tears begin to form in my eyes, please know that you, Ivan and the soon to be newborn will always be a part of my life as well. I will do anything I can for you and them as time passes on. I see so much in Ivan that reminds me of Frank already that I know he will grow up to have the same impact on peoples lives as his father did.

I share all of your pain and sorrow at this time but I promise we will share many more laughs together as our angel watches from above.

We remember Frankie's first day at Southwest in Hartford. He never changed. He was always upbeat and had a great sence of humor. On his birthday in 2000 he performed the "greatest birthday bag-belt dance" to date. He was a great person and will be sadly missed by us. Bye Boonie... see you later.......

God needed another angel in heaven and Frank was next on his list. Kelly, you and your family our in my thoughts and prayers!

Frank...never will be forgotten the moment I, your Uncle, held you as you were being baptized. I was so proud! Aunt Sandy and I will forever miss you but you will forever be in our hearts. We will always be there for you Kelly, little Ivan and your baby-to-be.

hi kelly; sending my deepest condolences. keep your head up, we love you from dooney and bourke!

Words cannot express how much we will miss you Frankie B. We love you so much. Love Always, Adam Ogilvie & Tara Calhoun

You will be dearly missed by our family, we love you, and our hearts and prayers, with Kelly, Ivan, and family!

Please know that I am thinking of you, and your entire family. I hope you can feel the love eminating from Massachusetts. My most sincere condolences. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Franklin - You were a wonderful young man and true friend to my son Josh - You were a part of our family!! you will truly be missed!! God Bless you and keep you in his arms!! Kelly and Family- May god keep you in his care!!

Frank,
It was always nice to see your smiling face outside cleaning up your boat after a day out fishing with your family even if you didn't catch anything. You really knew how to enjoy life.
I wish Kelly, Ivan and all of your family my deepest sympathy.

My best friend in the world has now passed on. I will never forget you Frank and I will alway's be a part of Kelly and Ivan and the new baby's life. You will alway's be a part of our life and we will never stop loving you.

"Frankie"...your gentle, fun-loving, and compassionate spirit will remain alive in my heart forever. Thank you for wonderful memories of a young man seeking a simple happy life right here on the river in Sebastian where he loved most. Your life was complete with Kelly and Ivan and now you leave another beautiful part of you to carry on in the spirit of love that you shared with them. You live on in our hearts forever.
Dear Kelly, may your heart take comfort in knowing that every moment of your life together belongs to the two of you forever. May God Comfort you and hold you in His loving arms as He suits up His "newest guardian angel" to watch over you and your children! With Caring and Prayers for you always.

I just want to send my love and respect to family and friends.

To the Boone Family - We are so deeply sorry to learn of Frank's tragic passing. We will always remember Frank as a talented, fun-loving young man. Nick, be strong. God will see you and your family through this. You are in our prayers.
In His Love,
The Connery's

Frankie,I have nothing but good memories of you. You had a sweet spirit and a kind and loving personality. My prayers are with you wife and children and family for strength and encouragement for the days ahead.

Frank we thank you for being such a loving husband, to our niece Kelly, and an excellent father to our great nephew Ivan. We will miss your gentle giving soul. We will keep you in our hearts forever, but we will always have a tear in our eye when we see any John Deere products. Love Aunt Gina and Uncle Pat.

I worked with 'Frankie' in Hartford at SWA, he was the guy always smiling that never had anything bad to say about anyone or anything. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He may be gone, but never forgotten.
